WELCOME TO NACC ADMISSIONS

COVID-19 Admission Procedure: To assist you most effectively during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Admissions Office at Northeast Alabama Community College will serve students both remotely through phone calls and emails, and directly on campus. If you come to campus, masks are required to enter all buildings and social distancing is required.  Please utilize the following online and electronic methods of applying for admission to NACC and submitting your admission requirements:

Thank you for choosing Northeast.  We are here to help you. Northeast Alabama Community College has an open-door admissions policy to ensure that every person has the opportunity to attain a college education. To take classes for college credit, you must complete the admission application process. Apply early to make sure you have plenty of time to complete assessment testing, attend orientation, visit with an advisor, plan your course schedule and register for classes. Students needing financial assistance should contact the Financial Aid office.

First-time admission to college degree programs at Northeast is open to anyone with the Alabama High School Diploma or an equivalent and proper documentation as defined by the State Board of Education.

TRANSFERS FROM OTHER COLLEGES
Students with credit from another college will be admitted unconditionally if eligible to return to their previous college. Students should request all previous college transcripts, as well as high school transcript or equivalent, be sent to the Admissions Office.

FORMER STUDENTS OF NORTHEAST ALABAMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

APPLYING FOR ADMISSION

There is no application fee! The Admissions Office will send you information about orientation, placement testing, registration for classes, and your advisor. You will also be given a student account through your MyNACC account, where you can see your financial aid status, register for classes, and much more.

Admission to NACC does not ensure admission to any individual program or course.

Conditional enrollment: If an item in the list below is lacking, the applicant may be allowed to begin classes conditionally for one term. When the item is received, the student may be granted unconditional (regular) admission. Conditional enrollment may also apply to transfer students who are not in good standing at their previous institution.

1.  Complete the Application for Admission Form.

• Complete the online application. 

2.  Document your identity. An applicant who fails to satisfy identification requirements will not be admitted to the college. Registration for classes will not be allowed until the Admissions Office has received appropriate documentation. Applicants must submit the documentation by the end of the institution’s published drop/add period by email to admissions@nacc.edu, by U.S. Mail, or via the Admissions Office Dropbox located outside the doors of the Student Center facing the Library.
