When transferring courses in, you will want to know what those courses count as here at NHCC. At the Registration Session, the Academic Advisor will assist with understanding how your courses transfer in to NHCC, and make sure that you do not repeat any courses you no longer need.

Spring Registration Sessions begin at the end of October, when Spring registration opens. Appointment booking will typically open at the beginning of October.

We block students from booking an appointment in Navigate until they have their Registration Session hold lifted. Please wait for the email, or view your Checklist, for Registration Session appointment instructions.
