Priority Registration is Coming Up!

Priority Registration starts October 21. Current students at Northampton Community College (NCC) get first pick of all spring 2025 classes. Signing up early before registration opens to new students on October 28 will ensure students get into classes they need to keep them on track, have wanted to take but never had the chance, or need to fit their schedule. Students should contact their advisor on Workday to find the best class options for their individual college journey. 

Once registered, students should check their weekly student newsletter or head to Facebook and Instagram to participate in NCC’s Priority Registration contests the week of October 21. Two winners will receive a $100 DoorDash gift card. 

Follow directions in each post or in the newsletter to be entered to win. Students must be registered for classes by 4 p.m. on the day entered in order to be in the running to win. All winners will be announced after October 28. For social media contests, all winners will be contacted via social media.
