If so, please email the Department along with Nassau Community College’s designated course name and number (for example, ECO 208 – Principles of Microeconomics) and we will reply to the email with a PDF for your transferring school to review.
You are responsible for knowing the prerequisites for the classes that you wish to register. To check the prerequisite for our course, please see the Course Descriptions, above. If you are enrolling in a class for which the prerequisites have not been met at Nassau Community College, you will be required to contact the Department to get an override waiving the prerequisites.
Please email a PDF version of your academic transcript to sbs@ncc.edu, with the following information:
If the prerequisite can be satisfied, we will process the override and email you that it is done. After that, you may register online or at the Office of the Registrar for any open course.
