Re-Admit Student Info

 If you previously attended NCC, but have not attended in the last 12 months, you are considered a Re-Admit Student upon your return and should complete a new application. 

International Students

Please refer to this article on how to apply as an international student, as well as more important information.

High School Dual Enrollment Students

Please see this article on how to apply as a High School Dual Enrollment student, as well as more important information.

Transferring to NCC

If you want to transfer from your current college or university or complete a degree that you started elsewhere, complete a new application. As part of the online application, you will indicate which college(s) you've attended. You'll also need to submit transcripts from any schools you've previously attended so we can evaluate which credits will transfer. We can transfer up to 75% of any degree, certificate, or specialized diploma (at least 25% must be completed at NCC). For more info on transferring to NCC, click here or contact the Admissions Office at adminfo@northampton.edu or 610-861-5500.

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.

• Should I complete a new application?
  • If you never attended NCC before or if you previously attended but have not taken a class here in the last 12 months, then yes!
• How do I know if my credits will transfer to my full-time college or university?
  • Contact your academic advisor at your college or university to determine course transferability to your institution. You may also meet with an advisor at NCC.
• Does NCC need my transcripts?
  • Yes! We need your transcripts to determine placement in college-level courses. You must have documentation proving you have met course prerequisites before registering for courses at NCC. Transcripts can be sent from authorized senders to transcripts@northampton.edu.
• Do guest/visiting students need to complete Orientation Part 1?
  • Guest/visiting students are strongly encourage, but not required, to complete Orientation Part 1. If you are a guest/visiting student and you have an orientation hold on your Workday account, this may indicate that there is incorrect information in Workday that needs to be changed. You should submit a Change of Major form in your Workday student account by following these steps:
    1. Log into your Workday student account.
    2. Click Academics under Your Top Apps.
    3. On the next page, under Academic Records, click Change or Declare a New Major.
    4. A Create Request window will pop up. In the Request Type field, select All then select Request to declare or change my major. Click OK.
    5. Complete the form (for Area of Study, select Guest/Visiting).
    6. After completing all form questions, click Submit. (Once this change of major form is processed, orientation and/or advising holds will be lifted.) 

Previously Applied But Never Enrolled

A student who applies but never enrolls will have an active Workday account for two major semesters (fall and spring) after applying. For example, if you applied for fall 2025 but decide to wait until spring 2026 or fall 2026 to start classes, you do not need to submit a new application; your student account will still be active. If it’s been longer than two major semesters, you will need to submit a new application to reactivate your student account. If you forget your Workday Student account information, contact the NCC Help Desk at helpdesk@northampton.edu.
