REGISTRAR | RECORDS | REGISTRATION
5. Placement Tests: Take the Florida College Entry-Level Placement Tests. Florida regulations
require placement test scores before registration for all students who intend to take college credit
courses. If the student has taken the ACT, SAT, CPT or PERT, a copy of scores should be included
with applications and/or transcripts to the Admissions Office. Test scores may not be more than
two years old. Students presenting satisfactory scores from the above tests are not required to
retest.
6. Acceptance: Once the Office of Enrollment Services has received all of the above items, a letter
of acceptance is mailed.
7. See an academic advisor: Go to the academic advising office. An academic advisor will assist
with course selection and program planning. Students may not complete the registration process
without a form signed by an advisor. If you have a documented disability and would like to
receive accommodations in your course of study, see the Office of Student Disability Services
to complete appropriate paperwork, documentation, needs identification and course selection
assistance. Please note, this meeting must take place each semester of attendance in order to
receive appropriate accommodations.
8. Course Selection: After consulting with an advisor and receiving a signed registration form, the
student may register on the dates/times specified for registration in the catalog and schedule of
classes.
9. Payment of Fees/Verification of Schedule: Tuition and fees must be paid by the published
date in the catalog and schedule of classes.
10. I. D. Card: A current I.D. card is required for check-out of NFCC library materials. Students may
obtain an I.D. card from the NFCC Library throughout the year.
11. Bookstore: Textbooks are now ordered online through the NFCC Virtual Bookstore. The Virtual
Bookstore is accessible from the NFCC website home page - www.nfcc.edu.
12. Attend First Class: Students should attend the first meeting of each class for which they are
registered. The Drop/Add period is the first week of the Fall and Spring terms; the first two days
of summer terms. Courses dropped during this time do not appear on the transcript.
Registration
NFCC conducts early, regular, and late registration each term. Students are encouraged to register early
to avoid closed classes. The student is responsible for meeting course prerequisites prior to registering. A
student may be administratively withdrawn from those courses for which he or she is not eligible.
Transcript Request
A form for requesting transcripts is available in the Enrollment Services Office as well as on the NFCC
website. All official transcripts are issued by the Office of Enrollment Services at NFCC. No transcript of
credit will be released if there is a “hold” on the student’s record. Examples of holds include financial
obligations, unreturned library books, or college property on loan to a student that has not been
returned. TRANSCRIPTS MAY NOT BE REQUESTED VIA TELEPHONE OR EMAIL. There is a $3 fee for
official transcripts.
Changing Class Schedule
Students may add or drop courses with the permission of their advisor. The College Calendar designates
the last day on which courses may be added for credit or dropped without penalty. Students who receive
accommodations through the Office of Student Disability Services should schedule an appointment to
secure transfer or deletion of appropriate accommodations for any course changes.
Change of Degree Program or Catalog
Students are encouraged to complete the degree or certificate program of initial admission; however,
students may request to change to a program for which they are eligible. Degree/program changes must
be made through the academic advisor and recorded through the Office of Enrollment Services. Degree/
program changes frequently require different courses. The student is responsible for such changes, and
