Guest/Visiting Student Admissions
Northampton Community College

Apply to NCC - Guest/Visiting Students

If you are currently enrolled at another college/university and plan on taking courses at NCC to have credits transfer back to your home institution, you are considered a guest/visiting student.

 

NCC offers fall courses (14-, 10-, and 7-week terms), spring courses (14-, 10-, and 7-week terms), winter courses (4-week term), and summer courses (4-, 6-, and 10-week terms).

 

Guest/visiting students are eligible to register for any of these terms. Registration for the fall typically begins in late April or early May. Registration for spring, winter, and summer courses typically begins in late October or early November.
