Registration & Records

Non-Matriculated Registration

An individual may take courses at the college as a non-matriculated student who is not seeking a certificate or degree from NCCC.  Students may also enter on a non-matriculated basis if they are not prepared to matriculate.  Non-matriculated students are not required to have graduated from high school or possess a high school equivalency diploma.  Non-matriculated students are not eligible for financial aid.  Contact the Enrollment Center to enroll or review the website information.

Non-matriculated students are required to pass college placement tests before enrolling in courses that require the assessments as a prerequisite.  All other prerequisites must also be met.  If a prerequisite course was taken at another institution, an unofficial transcript or grade mailer proving successful completion will be a sufficient waiver.

A student who is under age 17 by the start of the registered term at NCCC must be enrolled at a high school or registered in a home schooled program.  If the student is not age 17 by the start of classes, the non-matriculated application must be approved by a parent and/or legal guardian.  If the student withdrew from their high school district, a letter from the superintendent of the district in which the student resides is required to confirm home schooled enrollment.  Non-matriculated students are required to pass college placement tests before enrolling in courses that require the assessments as a prerequisite.

A minor student’s enrollment in any college course constitutes an agreement by that student to complete all class assignments without special consideration being given because of age.

COVID-19 Vaccine/Booster Recommendation

Per the SUNY COVID-19 Guidance, all students are strongly encouraged to stay up-to-date on their initial course of vaccinations and boosters consistent with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations.  Students enrolled in any program or course or who are participating in a clinical or internship held at a third-party location must continue to comply with all health and safety guidelines, including any vaccination or testing protocols that are in place at the third-party location.  This includes some programs in our Nursing, Physical & Allied Health Division and the Animal Management program.

• NCCC must provide vaccination statistics to SUNY.  Students will be asked to confirm their vaccination status with the Wellness Center at NCCC.  Students may email a copy of their immunization records to wellnesscenter@niagaracc.suny.edu.  For additional information, call the Wellness Center at 716-614-6275.
• Certain academic programs may require students to be up-to-date on their initial course of vaccinations and boosters to participate in clinicals and internships.
