Admission For Transfer Students

Transfer Express Program

Students planning to transfer from Northwestern are encouraged to register for the Transfer Express Program. This program is a student advising process that simplifies transfer from NCCC to other two- and four-year colleges and universities. Once registered in this program, students are assigned to a specific faculty advisor who advises the student toward successful completion of a certificate or degree program at NCCC, while providing course information and advisement on courses that will successfully transfer to the intended college or university.
