Commonly Asked Application & Registration Questions
I accidentally applied as a different major other than high school dual enrollment. What do I do?
Email dualenrollment@northampton.edu with your full name, NCC ID (included in your acceptance email), name of your HS and graduation year to let us know of this error.
I cannot log in or update my password on the Workday Student Portal. What do I do?
Please make sure you are entering the information provided correctly. Remember you are using your NCC email address (provided in your acceptance email). If you are still receiving an error, please contact the NCC Help Desk at HelpDesk@northampton.edu or call 610-861-5413.
I am homeschooled and do not have a school counselor and/or transcript.
The parent/guardian who is overseeing the homeschooler can sign for the school counselor. Please provide any transcript that you may have. Home Schooled students should sign up for the NCC Placement Test for English and/or Math here to assist with placement in college courses (as a transcript is reviewed).
How many courses can I register for?
The College Connections Specialists recommend 1-2 courses per semester, but this is a personal decision. Remember that you will be taking college level courses which is a different workload than you have experienced before. Also, keep in mind your high school course load, activities, work, and also that each course has a financial cost including the cost of books/supplies.
Why do I see a troubleshoot button instead of a register button?
There are a few reasons this may be happening:
- You didn’t clear out the items in your inbox (top right). Please review the how to log in video again How to Log in to Workday
- You do not meet the prerequisite for the course you selected. You can see those guidelines listed on the left hand side, above the “troubleshoot” area.
- If you’re recently sent in your FERPA form and/or transcript please allow 5-7 business days for our staff to update your record which includes updating your GPA. There are several courses that require a cumulative GPA of 3.0/83% (English eligible).
- If you have not sent your FERPA form or transcript, both should be sent to dualenrollment@northampton.edu
What are the course formats?
NCC offers several course formats as well as schedule types (various start/end dates throughout the semester). Learn more here.
