Records & Registration

Students can request two types of transcripts, official transcripts (sealed and mailed) or unofficial transcripts. Click for more transcript information.

Your enrollment at NPC can be verified by the college by submitting a Request for Verification of Enrollment form via email, postal mail or fax. Once your request has been received it will be processed within 5 business days. If picking up any items at the Records and Registration Office on the Holbrook – Painted Desert Campus, students must provide a photo ID.

You can request a letter of admission for proof of acceptance to NPC. A frequent use of this letter is to fulfill scholarship requirements. Download and fill in the Letter of Admission form. Once your request has been received it will be processed within 5 business days.

If you have not established residency in Arizona by residing here for at least one year, you will be charged out-of–state resident rates. If you would like to be considered for in-state tuition, you may choose to fill out the domicile affidavit. Please be aware that in order to approve or deny your domicile, our office may require and request additional documentation to prove your residency. If this additional documentation is needed, then you will be contacted via phone or by mail. Your completed domicile can be turned in to your nearest NPC campus or center front office, faxed to (928) 524-7461, or scan and emailed.

Application for tuition waivers must be submitted to the Records and Registration Office at the time of registration for the student to qualify for in-state tuition. Waivers are limited. Reapplication is required each semester. Waiver Form (PDF)

Please allow five (5) business days from the time Northland Pioneer College receives your transcript from your previous institution for your credits to be evaluated. Once your transcript is evaluated, an NPC academic adviser can inform you of what credits were accepted.

If you are a current NPC student who wishes to have your student information released to your parent, school, etc., fill out a Release of Student Information form . Your signature MUST be witnessed by an NPC or NAVIT staff member. You may submit this form at the campus or center closest to you to be mailed to the Records and Registration office in Holbrook.

If you are a current student and do not know your student ID number, complete the Returning Student ID# Request form and submit it at the campus or center closest to you. That form will allow the campus/center front office to release your id number to you. This form is NOT for new students who will be provided a student ID number when they complete the NPC enrollment process.

• *NOTE* - If you are a current student who needs to know their student ID number to log into MyNPC, please call the NPC Support Center at (800) 266-7845 ext. 7447. They will be able to reset your password.

If you would like to petition to have a grade changed, please contact your instructor. Changes to grades MUST be initiated by the instructor (not the student), who will then submit the request to their dean for approval. If approved, the dean will notify the Records & Registration office of the change.
