Step 2 - Meet with an Admissions Team Member

To ensure you're ready to register, meet with an Admissions team member to confirm all required steps are completed. Please note that a current application for the desired term and up-to-date transcripts or test scores are necessary for advising.

Note: Wildcat Orientation is for First Time in College Students Only

• Note for Visiting (Transient) Students: Visiting (Transient) students who are only taking summer classes at NVC and will be returning to their home institution will not complete the Wildcat Orientation.
  
  Visiting (Transient) students may self-register for courses through ACES once their enrollment steps are complete. Students who need assistance using ACES may visit the Vista Central: Admissions office on a walk-in basis, but they should meet with their academic advisors at their home institution for advising services to ensure that NVC courses will be accepted for transfer.

Step 3 – Register for Courses

Following completion of your enrollment steps and meeting with Admissions, the next step is to meet with an advisor in the Advising Suite. You can choose between scheduling an appointment or utilizing our drop-in advising. Review the drop-in schedule here: Click Here

Step 4 – Pay for Classes

Students are required to pay for their classes or ensure that their financial aid or applicable Veterans benefits are in place by the payment deadline or they will be dropped from courses and must re-register.

Payment deadlines are always on Sunday at 1 p.m.
