How do I apply as a non-degree student at Nassau Community College?

I'm thinking about taking some classes without pursuing a degree at NCC. Can someone explain how the non-degree or non-matriculated application process works? I'm not sure what the requirements or deadlines are.

To apply as a non-degree or non-matriculated student at Nassau Community College (NCC), you will need to complete a Non-Matriculated Admission form. Here are the steps you should follow:

1. Download the Non-Matriculated Admission form from the NCC website.

2. Complete the form with accurate information regarding your details and the classes you are interested in taking.

3. Submit the completed form to the Office of Admissions at NCC - this could be via email or by dropping it off in person if that option is available.

Once you've submitted your form, you'll likely hear back from the Admissions Department regarding your enrollment status. Note that non-degree students are generally not eligible for financial aid or housing through the college.

As a non-degree student, you can enroll in any classes as long as you meet the prerequisites for those courses. Prerequisites can be confirmed by checking the course catalog or speaking with an academic advisor.

When it comes to registration time, non-degree or non-matriculated students usually register after degree-seeking students, so be sure to keep track of when you are allowed to register to secure a place in your desired courses.

For any specific deadlines for non-degree applications, I recommend checking the NCC website or directly contacting the Admissions Office for the most recent and precise dates. It's a good idea to apply as early as possible to increase your chances of getting into the classes you want.

Keep in mind that, although you may not intend to earn a degree at the moment, the classes you take at NCC might be transferable to another institution in the future if you decide to pursue a degree. Always keep a record of your coursework and stay in contact with your academic advisor.
