NCC has established a Waitlist process in which nearly every academic department participates. Waitlisting for a class does not guarantee you a seat; however, if a seat becomes available in the closed class and you are in the first position on the waitlist you will get an email sent to your NCC Student Email account notifying you of the availability. You have exactly 24 hours to register for the waitlisted course.

The college reserves the right to close the waitlist process at any time before the start of a semester. You are encouraged to check your NCC Email often so that you do not miss the email notification.

Withdrawing from classes (W) is permitted after the drop/add period.

• Log into your MyNCC portal account to withdraw from a class(es).
• Select Registration Information
• Then select Class Withdrawal and follow the steps.
• Once your professor has approved the withdrawal, it will be processed.

Nassau Community College complies with the Solomon Amendment by releasing student recruiting information to military recruiters. Information will be released for military recruiting purposes only.  Each of the 12 eligible units within the five branches of service may request and receive recruiting information once per each term or semester. The requests must be submitted in writing to the Office of the Registrar.

As the Department of Education has determined that the Solomon Amendment supersedes most elements of the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), an institution is required to release this information regardless of whether the institution includes this information in its FERPA “directory information” list.  

The College may charge reeasonable and customary fees for fulfilling Solomon Amendment requests.  In general, no fees are charged for emailed records, unless a specialized list or mode of fulfillment is required.  Any special request fees will be assessed at the actual cost of the service.

Students are expected to attend classes beginning the first day of the session. Never attending a class will reduce the enrolled credit load, but not the tuition charges. Changes in your enrollment status could reduce or cancel your financial aid award and you will be responsible for any balance.

If you stop attending a class, it could impact your current or future aid eligibility and you will be responsible for any balance on your student account.
