I want to take more than 18 hours in the semester, but can't register for the courses online. What do I do?

In order to take more than 18 hours, download the Add/Drop/Withdrawal Form from the “Issues with online registration?” link and write in the course that would put you over 18 hours. That form will need to be signed by the Executive Vice President for Instruction before an advisor can add the course.

Can I register by phone or email?

No, NTCC will not register a student via phone or email.  There are 3 ways for you to get registered:

  1. Come in to the Student Service Center and meet with an Academic Advisor
  2. Register online
  3. Submit Add/Drop/Withdrawal Form

Below are instructions on how to complete a schedule change form:
Login to your portal, click Student, click on the blue box that says academics, then registration, scroll down and look on the right side of the screen and you should see a little box with a plus sign that says Issues with online registration. Complete that form for any add and/or drops by putting the course code, course number, and section number (e.g. ENGL 1301.001). Once this form is submitted it automatically comes to us in a PDF request, which we process daily.

If your form has not been processed, it is because the form has been filled out incorrectly. So, please check your NTCC student email account, and you will find an email with instructions specifying why the form was not processed.

I'm trying to add my classes online but it tells me I need a pre-requisite.

If you are unsure about which course is the pre-requisite to the course you are trying to add, then you might look at the course description in the catalog to determine which course you need first. If you had the pre-requisite at another institution, please contact Admissions, so that they can review your transcript and possibly transfer in that course so that you may register. All other requests to add a course that requires a pre-requisite without having completed the pre-requisite will require permission from the instructor.

I'm trying to add my classes online but it keeps saying I need a "remedial course."

Are you seeking a degree or certificate?

  • If you are seeking a certificate, then please contact the Registrar's office to change your status so that the system will allow you to register online.
  • If you are seeking a degree, then please contact our office to schedule an appointment to meet with an advisor. We can advise you as to what courses you should register for, and how to go about doing that.

What is TASFA?

The Texas Application for State Financial Aid (TASFA) is used to collect information to help determine eligibility for state financial aid programs that are administered by institutions of higher education in the state of Texas. Students that are classified as a Texas Resident who cannot apply for federal financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) are encouraged to complete the TASFA. To review the FAFSA filing requirements, visit www.fafsa.ed.gov or visit the financial aid office at the institution you plan to attend.

To use this application, you cannot be paying the Texas resident tuition rate due to a waiver such as an in-state scholarship or an assistantship. Nonresidents paying the resident rate due to a waiver are still nonresidents.

Why do I need to take the TSI?

The TSI Assessment is a program designed to help Northeast Texas Community College determine if you are ready for college-level course work in the general areas of reading, writing and mathematics. The TSI Assessment will also help determine what type of course that will best meet your needs to help you become better prepared for college-level course work if you are not ready. If you are an incoming college student in Texas, you are required to take the TSI Assessment. Based on how you perform, you may either be enrolled in a college-level course that matches your skill level or be placed in the appropriate developmental course. Please visit http://www.ntcc.edu/testing for more information on testing.
