Transfering to NPC is easy!
Planning to attend NPC and have already attended another college, university or educational institution? You will want to make sure we accept your creditable prior learning. Here are the steps you need to take:
Meet with an NPC academic adviser
You will find advisers located at every campus and center. Depending upon your individual circumstances, there are a number of ways to receive credit for your prior learning. Consulting with an adviser will give you a general idea of the options and procedures you may need to follow.
Fill out the NPC online enrollment form
Obtain documentation of your prior learning
Credit transfer from regionally accredited institutions:
Transfer students from regionally accredited institutions should submit official copies of all previous college work to the Records and Registration Office. Also include a completed Request for Evaluation of Transfer Credits form. In the majority of cases, transfer credit is awarded for each course level 100 or above in which you received a ‘C’ or better grade.
Other credit sources
Again, as there are a number of ways to receive credit for your prior learning consulting with an adviser will give you a general idea of the options and procedures you may need to follow.
Take a Placement Test (if needed)
You may be required to take an academic placement test. This is generally true in cases where you:
- Have not already taken a placement test and plan to take courses with placement prerequisites
- Are pursuing an NPC Associates Degree, Certificate of Applied Science, or Arizona General Education Curriculum
- You do not have a satisfactory previous credit equivalent for the prerequisite course (That's why it's so important to have your documentation because you may have taken a previous course that will satisfy the prerequisite!)
Tip: You are encouraged to complete the placement test BEFORE registration periods. There is a $10 fee which allows you to test up to three times during the semester. You should take the tests after visiting with your academic adviser. And because it could save you time and another trip, we encourage you to make an appointment beforehand so you will have time available to take the test the same day.
Register for your classes!
To register for online courses ONLY - click here.
Do not use this form for traditional classes.
- In person at any NPC campus or center closest to you. (click here for locations)
- By phone - call toll-free (800) 266-7845 and ask for the Records & Registration Office, ext. 7459.
Tip: When you register by phone, you will be issued a Student ID number. Due to Federal law we CANNOT give you that number over the phone. You may go to a campus/center near you, provide a photo ID and complete required paperwork in person to receive that information and get your Student ID Card. If you are not located near a campus or center, ask the NPC Records & Registration Office and they will mail the information to you.
Pay Your Tuition and Fees
Due dates for payment of college tuition and fees are listed in the attached schedule.
NPC accepts the following forms of payment:
Pay in full or budget your payments online AFTER you register for classes! Click here to go to MyNPC to access the e-Cashier website. | To review the status of your current account, just click on the logo. 
- Cash
- Credit or debit card payments through MasterCard, Discover or VISA
- Cashier's Check or Money Order
- Personal Check (Must be pre-printed with the account holder's name and Arizona address and have a greater check number than 199)
Non-Payment Policy:
If payment or arrangements for payment are not made within the posted payment schedule, you may be dropped from classes or prevented from registering in future semesters. This policy applies to checks returned due to insufficient funds, stop payment, or a closed account, or for e-Cashier payment termination for closed or missed payment or payment arrangements not completed within allotted time period.
Note: If NPC receives a personal check back due to insufficient funds, a stop payment or a closed account, you have five (5) business days from the date the returned check was received by NPC to make a cash payment or other arrangements. A fee of $25 will be charge for each instance. Personal checks will not be accepted from individuals who have had checks returned to NPC for insufficient funds, stop payment or a closed account in the past.
Get Your Student ID Card
As a registered student, you should obtain a Student Identification/Library Card from your campus or center library by presenting your paid registration receipt. The card allows the check out of library materials. Also, several local businesses offer student discounts to those with a valid ID.
Order Your Books and Supplies Online
Starting with the Summer 2010 semester, NPC students will order their textbooks through our online bookstore and have them delivered directly to their homes.
Tip: Textbook costs vary widely depending on the number of and types of courses taken. We estimate that the average student enrolled in 15 credits will have approximately $500 in textbook costs. Financial aid may be available.
Note: All deferred bookstore purchases using e-Cashier payments will require up to a 25% down payment as outlined in your e-Cashier agreement.
