Early Admissions Program

Students

What Is Early Admissions?

The Early Admissions program is designed for current high school students who want to get a jump start on their future and complete college coursework while still in high school. Participating in the Early Admissions program allows students to earn credits that will apply to their future college degree plan, which can shorten their time to graduation in college, saving time and money.

Note: Students cannot participate in Dual Credit and Early Admissions during the same semester. However, Dual Credit students can apply for Early Admissions during the semesters when they are not actively enrolled in high school courses.

Deadline for submitting the Early Admit form for review and approval is  four weeks prior to the start of the specific term.

As part of the admissions process, students will be asked to select which courses they would like to take with NVC. Students can view the NVC core curriculum classes and course descriptions below to help them determine the courses they would like to take.
