A student enrolled for twelve (12) or more semester credits is considered full-time. Students planning to graduate with an associate degree in two (2) years must enroll in at least sixteen (16) credits/semester.
A student enrolled for fewer than twelve (12) semester credits is a part-time student.
Students may not carry more than eighteen (18) credits a semester without special permission from the College. Students wishing to carry between 19-24 credits must have attained at least a 'B' average in the previous semester while completing a minimum of 12 credits in that semester. Students wishing to carry 25 or more credits must send a written request to the Vice President for Learning. The Vice President for Learning will have sole authority to approve or deny these requests.
Dates for registration are published in each semester's NPC Class Schedule. Please be aware that early registration is encouraged for students and that courses lacking sufficient enrollment may be canceled before classes begin. Students should also be aware of the telephone registration process as published in the semester's NPC Class Schedule.
In addition to campus, center, and telephone registration, returning students may register online via the Student Records Login link at www.npc.edu . Registration can be prevented, however, if class prerequisites are not met, or if the student is on financial hold.
Academic Advisors are available to assist students in planning their program of study.
All fees must be paid at the time of registration. A student is not officially registered until all applicable tuition and fees are paid or payment arrangements have been made. Students who have a delinquent account with the College will not be allowed to register until all prior obligations are met.
A student may register for specific class(es) after the end of the registration period, provided the instructor agrees to admit the student. Instructor signature on the Registration or Course Change forms is required.
