First-time students must first complete an Application for Admission and request transcripts (high school/GED and all previous colleges). Once the student's Application for Admission has been processed by the Admissions Office, the student may meet with their advisor for guidance on what classes to take and instructions on how to register through the student's MyNACC portal.

If it’s been over a year since you last attended NACC, no worries—you just need to submit an updated Application for Admission and send us transcripts from any other colleges you’ve attended since then. Once your application is processed, you can meet with your advisor to figure out your class schedule and get help registering through your MyNACC portal. We’ll help you get back on track and moving forward!

If you're transferring to NACC from another college, start by filling out the Application for Admission and sending us your transcripts (high school/GED and all previous colleges). Once your application is processed, you’ll be able to meet with an advisor to talk about your classes and get help registering through your MyNACC portal. We’re here to make the transfer process easy and stress-free!

When Can I Drop or Add Classes?

• The Drop/Add period happens during Late Registration, as listed on the Academic Calendar.
• You can drop, add, or change classes (like switching from credit to audit) during this time.
• Make changes through the Registration link in your MyNACC Portal.

Payment Reminder

• If you're already registered, there’s no extra charge for adjusting your schedule during Late Registration.

Financial Aid Impact

• Before making schedule changes or dropping classes, students receiving financial aid should always check with the Financial Aid Office. Changes might impact your award.

Withdrawing from All Classes Before the Drop/Add Late Registration Period Ends?

To fully withdraw during the Drop/Add period:

         You must email drop@nacc.edu if you want to drop all your classes

“Out of Degree Plan” Classes

Classes listed in the “Out of Degree Plan” section of DegreeWorks can:

• Reduce your Pell Grant
• Affect other financial aid or scholarships
• Delay graduation or affect transfer plans

Not sure? Talk to your advisor before registering for anything out of plan.

Planning to Transfer?

• Even if you're unsure about transferring, print an Alabama Transfer Guide.
• Give a copy to your advisor and keep one for yourself — it helps plan ahead and avoid surprise issues later.

After Drop/Add? Here's What You Need to Know:

No Adding Classes After Drop/Add Ends

Once the Drop/Add Late Registration Period is over, you can’t add any new classes.

Dropping Classes (After Drop/Add)

You can still drop classes, but:

• It must be done by email — online dropping is no longer available.
• Dropping may impact your financial aid, scholarships, or graduation timeline.

Financial Aid Reminder

• If you receive financial aid, talk to the Financial Aid Office before dropping anything.
• Dropping a class might reduce your aid or cause repayment issues.

How to Drop a Class

• Email your request to: drop@nacc.edu

Withdrawing from All Classes After the Drop/Add Period Ends?

No Refund for Partial Withdrawals After Late Registration

• If you drop some but not all classes after Late Registration, you won’t get a refund for those classes.

Withdrawing from All Classes?

• Review the refund policy before withdrawing from all classes — refunds depend on the timing.
• If you’re using financial aid, you may have to repay tuition if you withdraw after the final registration date.

What Happens on Your Record?

• Dropped classes will show a “W” (Withdrawn) on your transcript.
• A “W” doesn’t hurt your GPA, but it can affect your financial aid eligibility in the future.

How to Withdraw

• To drop a class or withdraw completely, email: drop@nacc.edu
• Important: Talk to the Financial Aid Office before you withdraw to understand how it might impact your aid.

• Failure to drop or withdraw through proper procedures will result in a low final grade or F (all missed work will earn a “zero”). A student should never quit attending classes without officially dropping courses.
• It is the student’s responsibility to email drop@nacc.edu and follow up with financial aid to be sure their course is dropped. The college is not responsible if the appropriate personnel are not notified by the above process.
• Changing a class load will affect future financial aid assistance. It is the student’s responsibility to discuss this issue with the relevant financial aid, scholarship, etc. personnel before making a decision.
• Any veteran who drops a class may be required to repay the Veterans Administration a part of the benefits derived up to the point in which the class was dropped.
• Changing a class load might affect personal insurance coverage or other personal business matters outside the college. It is the student’s responsibility to determine the effect of dropping classes.

An overload is more than 19 credit hours in one semester. Students must obtain special permission to take an overload. For permission to register for 20 to 24 hours, students must contact the Dean of Instruction.

"Auditing" is taking a course without receiving a grade or credit. A student who wishes to audit a course must have the permission of the instructor concerned. Students who audit a course must follow the regular admission and registration procedures and are governed by the regulations applied to regular students. The student pays the regular course fees but is not required to participate in class discussions, take tests, make reports, or take the final examination and does not receive credit. The student is listed on the class roll and gets a grade of “AU” for a final grade and zero credit hours for the course. Students may change from Credit to Audit or from Audit to Credit during the “Drop-Add” period at the beginning of the semester but may not change thereafter. Financial Aid will not cover the cost of audited courses.
