Re-Enrollment

Students who have voluntarily withdrawn or have been administratively withdrawn from NCC may apply to re-enroll, i.e. resume their enrollment, via one of two pathways, described below. The available pathway depends on the duration of time that has passed since their last date of attendance.

Re-entering a Program

Students who are requesting to resume their enrollment within 180 days of their last date of attendance may request to re-enter by emailing re-entry@northwestcareercollege.edu. Final determinations are communicated to the student in writing.

Re-starting a Program

Students who are requesting to resume their enrollment more than 180 after their last date of attendance may apply to re-start their enrollment by emailing
re-entry@northwestcareercollege.edu.

Students seeking to re-start will be asked to describe what circumstances have changed from the time of withdrawal or administrative withdrawal that would ensure that there would not be the need to withdraw from the program again. Their academic record will also be evaluated to determine whether transfer credit will be awarded.

In compliance with Title IX and Department of Education requirements, special consideration may be given for students who withdraw from a program due to pregnancy or military service/duty:

  • NCC will grant students who withdraw due to pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy and recovery therefrom the opportunity to seek academic credit for their previous work if they seek re-admission under the following circumstances:
    • Within six months of childbirth or the end of the pregnancy.
    • Within six months after the end of the recovery timeframe for a medical condition that resulted from the pregnancy
  • NCC will grant students who withdraw due to military service the opportunity to seek academic credit for their previous work if they seek re-admission under the circumstances below. The student has to return to NCC within the following timelines:
    • For those students that complete their period of service, they must return within three years after completion.
    • For a student who is hospitalized for an injury incurred or aggravated by their term of service, the student must return no later than two years after their recovery from the injury.
    • Students who are dishonorably discharged or are commissioned officers that are dropped from the rolls or dismissed are not eligible to return under this policy.
    Please note that military service as specified above means service, whether voluntary or involuntary, in the Armed Forces (including National Guard or Reserve) on active duty, active duty for training, or full-time National Guard duty, or order to active duty.
  • Students who withdraw due to pregnancy or military service must contact NCC when they are ready to return to school and submit the appropriate documentation.
    • For pregnancy, acceptable documentation is from a physician showing that the student was on the leave due to pregnancy, childbirth, false pregnancy, termination of pregnancy and recovery therefrom.
    • For military leave, acceptable documentation includes:
      • DD214 Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty
      • Copy of duty orders
      • Letter from the commanding officer or someone of comparable authority
      • Certificate of completion from military training school
      • Discharge certificate
      • Payroll documents showing periods of service
