Learning communities promote success! Research shows that students enrolled in learning
communities are more likely to do well in their first semester of college.
You’ll have more opportunities to learn the materials from both courses, making important
connections between them in the process.
Since the same students are in both classes, you’ll get to know your classmates better.
Students often establish study groups, which helps them master the material.
Learning community professors are interested in working with new students; you’ll
have the chance to develop more of a connection than you might in a stand-alone course.
Read the titles and check the descriptions of the learning communities that sound
most interesting to you. Select one that works with your current remedial placements
and fits requirements for your program.
Once their admission process is complete, new students are sent an email inviting
them to reserve a spot in a new student Advisement and Registration session. During
your session, let the advisor know which learning community you want to enroll in.
S/he’ll help you select additional courses to complete your first semester’s schedule
and give you directions on how to register for your classes.
If you are a continuing student and have found a learning community that interests
you, use your MyNCC account to enroll for both courses simultaneously. Click on the
“Registration” link; click on the “Add or Drop Classes” link; select the appropriate
semester and click “Submit”. Simply type both CRN numbers into two of the boxes displayed
in the “Add Classes Worksheet” section at the bottom of the page. Click on “Submit
Changes” and you’ll be registered!
Register for your learning community first. Then you can build a convenient schedule
around it.
“I feel more comfortable asking questions because I know the students so well.”
“The way the professors taught was incredible.”
“All new students should take a learning community!”
“I think that this learning community is one of the best classes Nassau Community
College offers.”
“We used the bio text in both classes. The reading professor had us practice skills
we could apply to our biology course, and she gave us some extra bio material, too.”
