How Do I Apply or Register For Classes at NCC?

STEP 1. APPLYING TO NCC

Please submit a new student application and $20.00 fee. New students may apply online, or submit a paper application in person or via mail or fax. An application may be obtained from the Admissions Package page of this web site. Credit card payment is required for online and fax-in applications.

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

If you were born after December 31, 1956, Connecticut State Law requires that all full-time (degree seeking and non-degree/non-matriculating) and part-time matriculating students enrolled in postsecondary schools be adequately protected against measles, mumps and rubella. In addition, beginning on August 1, 2010 all full-time and matriculating students, except those born in the continental United States prior to January 1, 1980, must provide proof of immunization against varicella (chicken pox). Students must have two (2) doses of each vaccine administered at least one (1) month apart to insure adequate immunization.

You must bring in proof of immunization or you will not be able to register for classes.

The Admissions office also needs proof of high school graduation or GED accreditation if you are applying to an NCC certificate or degree program or if you are seeking financial aid. *Financial Aid (Pell Grant) may be available for Summer for new students. Please contact the Financial Aid office at 203.857.7023 or stop by the Financial Aid office at East 105 for more information.

STEP 2. PLACEMENT TESTING OR WAIVER OF PLACEMENT TEST

Transfer-in students who have not earned college level credit in English and Math and do not meet SAT score requirements are required to take our basic skills placement test. Placement test appointments can be made on the web at HERE. You will need to have your student ID number and a valid email address. Your student ID number will be provided to you after you apply and receive your admissions acknowledgment email.

Your ID number will begin with the @ symbol, and is not to be confused with your G number. If you are a transferring in from a Connecticut Community College please inform the Admissions office when applying to the college.

Students who have SAT scores of 450 for English and 550 for Math are exempt from the placement test. Bring in an unofficial copy of your test scores when registering for classes, and have an official copy sent from CollegeBoard to the NCC Admissions office.

Students who are transferring in with college credits in English and Math may be exempt from the placement test. In order for placement test to be waived and to demonstrate that you have the prerequisites for NCC courses, bring an unofficial copy of your transcripts with you when applying for admission and when registering for classes.

STEP 3. REGISTERING FOR CLASSES

If you were required to take a placement test, registration instructions will be given to you upon completion of the exam.

If placement testing is waived, contact the Counseling Center for a registration appointment or register at a Walk-In registration session. SAT scores or unofficial copies of transcripts verifying placement test waiver or pre-requisites are required for registration. First time college students must attend a First-Year Success Workshop prior to registration for classes. Contact the Admissions Office for more information.

Transfer-in students are encouraged to register in person, and may need to wait 24 hours for access to their online myCommNet student accounts using their NetID.

STEP 4. TRANSFERRING CREDITS INTO NCC

Students transferring credits into the college may complete registration with copies of their unofficial transcripts prior to officially transferring in credits.

In order to officially transfer in credits an official copy of the transcripts must be sent to the Admissions office, and a blue Transcript Evaluation Request form must be completed. The Transcript Evaluation Request form is located at the Counseling Center and should be dropped off there after it is completed. All transfer-in inquires should also be directed to the Counseling Center.

STEP 1. REGISTERING FOR CLASSES

Current and Re-admit students in a degree program should contact their advisor for a registration appointment.

Current and Re-admit non-degree students can come to a Walk-In Registration session, or contact the Counseling Center for a registration appointment. General Studies students can come to a Walk-In Registration session, or contact the Student Success Center for an appointment.

Web Registration: After meeting with an advisor, all Current and Re-admit students can register online with their NetID beginning November 1st. Re-admit students may need to wait 24 hours for access to their online myCommNet account.

Please submit a new student application and $20.00 fee. You may apply online, or submit a paper Application Package in person or via mail or fax. Credit card payment is required for online and fax-in applications. Due to FERPA laws, NCC encourages all students to use the NCC home page for Admissions and registration information. Third party transactions are not permissible.

IMMUNIZATION

If you choose “non-degree” (Code DZ99) in the major field of the application and are taking less than 12 credits you are not required to submit proof of immunization.

STEP 2. REGISTERING FOR CLASSES

It is recommended that visiting students register online. In order to register online you must set up your NetID. You will need to have your student ID number. Your student ID number will be provided to you after you apply and receive your admissions acknowledgment email. Your ID number will begin with the @ symbol, and is not to be confused with your G number. Visiting students may need to wait 24 hours for access to online myCommNet student accounts using their NetID.

Students then need to send copies of their transcripts to the Department Chair or Division Director who will verify that they have met the pre-requisites for the course. Please include in the email the student ID number, and the information for the course that you are seeking. This includes the course CRN number, section number, and title of course. Course information can be found on the course schedule.

After transcripts have been reviewed and your eligibility for the course has been verified, you will receive permission from the program coordinator to register online with your NetID.

If you need assistance with this process, or would like further information on other registration options, please contact the Counseling Center (203.857.7033)
