In addition, credit hours accepted from other institutions are listed on Nassau Community College transcripts as the total credit hours accepted alongside the name(s) of the institution(s) at which they were earned. Transcripts submitted to Nassau Community College from other institutions (including High School transcripts) for admission or credit become the property of Nassau Community College and will not be returned to the student or forwarded to other institutions under any circumstances. Students in need of these external transcripts must request them from the individual institutions they have attended.

To be eligible for resident tuition, you must have one year legal residency in New York State and six months in the County of Nassau. The legal residence of a dependent student is based on the legal residence of the parent(s). Documentation will be required. Residency is proven in various ways.

A minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.0 is required for graduation from both degree and certificate programs. Students are required to complete at least 33 credit hours in residence (i.e. completed at NCC) within the degree programs and 15 credit hours in residence within the certificate programs. If a student believes that all requirements for a degree or certificate will be completed by the end of the fall, spring, or summer semester, he or she must apply for graduation via their MyNCC portal.

- How do I get into a closed class?
-
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.

- How does Nassau Community College comply with the Solomon Amendment?
-
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.
- What happens if I never attend a class?
-
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.
- What happens if I stop attending a class?
-
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.
