Curricular. You are classified as a curricular student when program
placed in a curriculum of the College. You must be a high school graduate,
have earned a Graduate Equivalency Diploma (GED), have completed an approved
developmental program, or have been otherwise determined qualified for
admission. Your academic file must contain all of the information required
for admission to the College. A curricular student may be either a full-time
or part-time student working toward completion of a certificate or associate
degree at the College.
Non-Curricular. If you have not requested admission to a curriculum or
developmental program, you may still register for courses by identifying your
reason for enrolling at NVCC. You may be classified as a non-curricular
student under one of the following circumstances:
- Upgrading employment skills for your present job;
- Developing skills for a new job;
- Exploring a new career. You may be undecided about a career goal or an
occupational choice. If you are changing from one educational objective
to another, you are expected to declare another objective prior to
completing 30 credit hours of course work;
- Personal satisfaction or for general knowledge;
- Transient student. You may be enrolled at NVCC while maintaining
primary enrollment with another college or university;
- Non-degree transfer student. You may be enrolled at NVCC to take only a
certain number of courses for transfer to another college or university
prior to completing the graduation requirements of a specific curriculum
at NVCC;
- High school student. You must have special permission from NVCC and
your principal to enroll at the College;
- General or curricula requirements pending. You may not have met all of
the general or specific admission requirements as stated in the College
Catalog but may be accepted by the College to take courses for
one semester only, with special approval from the College;
- Restricted enrollment. You may meet admission requirements of a
specific curriculum but be temporarily denied entry because of an
enrollment limitation. You could enroll in other courses while waiting
for entry into your chosen curriculum, with special approval of the
College.
Full-Time. You are considered a full-time student if you have enrolled
in 12 or more credits of course work in a semester or summer session.
Part-Time. You are considered a part-time student if you are carrying
fewer than 12 credits of course work in a semester or summer session.

The minimum full-time academic load is 12 credits, and generally the
maximum full-time load is 18 credits. To carry an academic load of more than
18 credits, you must have a 3.00 grade point average or higher and the
approval of the provost or his/her designee.
Student Level
You are classified as a freshman until you complete 30 credits of course
work in a degree program. You are classified as a sophomore after you
complete 30 credits of course work in a degree program. Credits transferred
from other institutions are included, provided they apply toward meeting the
requirements of your curriculum at NVCC.
