Academic Progress System Academic Progress System• NCC developed an Academic Progress System where

faculty inform students of their status in the class. Usually a message is sent if the student is doing poorly or needs improvement in order to successfully complete the class.

• If your professor(s) sent you an academic progress message, you will receive the following message on your NCC email:

“You have received an academic progress reportfor one or more of your courses. Please login to MyNCC, click on the Student tab, and click on View Academic Progress Messages to view your early warning messages. Thank You, MyNCC Support”

How did I get on Academic Warning?

Not enough time to study I don’t know how to study.

I work more than 20 hours a week .

I don’t know what I want to

major in.

I have difficulty balancing work, study and home life

I had an incomplete grade that turned to “F”.

I left school without withdrawing from my courses so I received a UW grade.

1. UW-Unofficial Withdrawal This grade, for credit classes, carries the same academic

value as a failing grade and will be given to a student that attended class, but for whatever reason stopped attending during the semester. Students must withdraw from the class by the published deadline.

2. UU-Unofficial Withdrawal This grade, for non-credit class (remedial), does not affect

the student’s grade point average but does count toward the number of attempts in the remedial program.

3. NA-Never Attended This grade is issued for a credit class and does not affect the

student’s grade point average, however students will be liable for tuition and fees for the class if not dropped prior to the start of the semester and financial aid will be affected because of non-attendance.

Areas of StudyNassau Community College has many areas of study for you to consider.The College Catalog is online at www.ncc.edu. Click on Programs and Courses.

This will lead you to all of our areas of study and the courses required for each.As you consider different areas of study it is important to look at the course

work required. If you log in to your Banner account and use the Degree Evaluation, you can look at your current major. Also if you want to look at another major, click on the “what if analysis” to view another program and the courses required for that program. It’s a great feature!

Does the coursework required reflect my areas of interest and my academic strengths? Ex) Am I good at Math? Science? English?

It is also important to access the type of skills I will develop in this area of study, can I be creative? Work with my hands? Solve problems? Learn about human behavior?

Finding the right fit is important. The right fit is a combination of the interest , strengths, and skills that all fall into one area of study or major.

It’s ok not to know when you start college. You have the ability to explore different subjects each semester. It’s a great way to get a taste of different programs and find one that you are interested in.
