Conditional Acceptance Policy
All new students are considered conditionally accepted to NCC after they attend their first day of class. All
NCC policies apply to conditionally accepted students and they enjoy all the rights and resources of an
officially accepted student. The conditional acceptance period begins on the first day of the term and continues
through the close of business on the 14 th calendar day of the term.
Students must notify the Registrar in writing if they intend to withdraw before the end of the conditional
acceptance period. Students who withdraw during the conditional acceptance period will not have student loan
repayment responsibilities because NCC does not request Title IV federal financial aid disbursement for
students in a conditionally accepted status. Students who withdraw during the conditional acceptance period are
still financially responsible for payment of any non-refundable fees disclosed during the admissions process.
Students who have met all admissions requirements, secured documentable funding for their program, and been
formally accepted by their Program Director are eligible to matriculate at NCC. NCC will withdraw any student
who has not met all admissions requirements, secured documentable funding for their program, and/or been
formally accepted by their Program Director before the end of the conditional acceptance period. Such a student
