How do I apply for the fall semester at Nassau Community College?

I'm planning to apply to Nassau Community College for the fall semester and want to make sure I do everything right. What are the steps for the application process, and is there anything specific to the fall intake that I should know?

Applying to Nassau Community College (NCC) is quite straightforward, and here's a rundown of the steps you'd need to follow:

1. Application Form: First things first, fill out the Admissions Application form. You will need to create an account to access the application form if you don't have one already. Make sure you select the fall semester for your application term.

2. High School Transcript or GED: You must arrange for your high school to send your official transcript directly to NCC. If you completed a GED, you must submit your scores directly from the Board of Education.

3. Standardized Test Scores: NCC does not require the SAT or ACT for admission. However, these scores are used for placement, so submitting them, if you have them, can be helpful.

4. Residency: If you live in Nassau County, you would need to submit proof of residency to qualify for in-county tuition rates. The proof can be a driver's license, state ID, etc.

5. Immunization Records: New York State Law requires all college students to provide proof of immunity to Measles, Mumps, and Rubella. Additionally, all students must also submit a Meningitis Response Form regardless of vaccination status.

6. English Proficiency (if applicable): If your first language is not English and you haven't studied in a US high school for at least 2 years, you may need to show proof of English proficiency through TOEFL, IELTS, or ACCUPLACER ESL scores.

There are no specific requirements for the fall intake; the application process remains the same. However, the application deadlines can vary, so it's essential to check the official website or contact the admissions office to make sure you have the correct dates.

Remember, after you submit your application, keep track of your email and the portal for any communication from the admission office. They may need additional information or documents. Respond promptly to any requests.

Good luck with your application!
