The college is open, operating and\u00a0enrolling\u00a0students. Spring semester begins January 11, 2021. Classes will be offered in in-person, online, virtual and hybrid formats. Join us for a new year, and fresh start!<\/p>\n

New students should <\/strong>apply<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0if you have not attended Nash Community College in the last year. Arrange as soon as possible for official transcripts from all high schools and\/or colleges attended and for official test-score reports to be sent to the NCC Admissions Office.<\/p>\n

On-Campus Courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The campus is cautiously preparing to offer more classes in-person on campus. The following additional programs are enrolling students for some in-person and hybrid classes: Advertising & Graphic Design, Broadcast & Production Technology, Early Childhood Education, Hospitality Management, and Human Services Technology. Some limited in-person and hybrid sections will also be available in Academic Success, Biology, Chemistry, Communications, Economics, English, Math, Psychology, Physics, and Sociology.<\/p>\n

While on campus, it is important to practice the three Ws.<\/p>\n

Wear a mask. <\/strong>Masks are required at all times on campus for everyone. This includes students, faculty, staff and visitors. Individuals who do not have a mask may request one from Student and Enrollment Services, the Campus Store or an NCC employee.<\/p>\n

Wash your hands. <\/strong>Washing hands can help keep you safe and healthy. Prevent the spread of germs by washing your hands often. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that individuals follow these steps during hand washing: Wet your hands with clean water and apply soap. Lather the soap on your whole hands and scrub for at least 20 seconds. Rinse your hands well, and dry them with a clean towel.<\/p>\n

Wait six feet apart. <\/strong>Socially distance at least six feet from others.\u00a0In some cases, classes are being split into separate rooms, and\/or meeting on different days in order to reduce the number of students in one room. These methods help ensure a safe learning environment while students are on campus.<\/p>\n

Virtual Courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Virtual courses mirror face-to-face instruction by connecting students with instructors online, in real-time. This is the closest experience to actually being on campus. Students who enroll in virtual courses can expect to interact with instructors and students, collaboration with other students in a virtual space, real-time group discussion and an enhanced sense of community with classmates and instructors. Virtual classes require access to a computer with reliable internet access. If you are interested in taking virtual courses, look for \u201cV\u201d in the course section number.<\/p>\n

Online Courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Online courses provide an option that is ideal for students who wish to work remotely, at their own pace, without set meeting times. The\u00a0flexible online format may be a great option for parents who are assisting young students with online learning,\u00a0university students who do not feel comfortable returning to campus but want to earn\u00a0transferable course credit,\u00a0or individuals\u00a0balancing\u00a0work, school and other\u00a0commitments. Online classes require access to a computer with reliable internet access. If you are interested in online courses, look for \u201cOL\u201d in the course section number.<\/p>\n

Hybrid Courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Hybrid courses are delivered in a combination of on-campus, online and\/or virtual meetings.<\/p>\n

Student Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Team Nash is working diligently to provide a productive academic experience despite the current challenges. Extra measures are in place to help students navigate learning during the pandemic including increased access to support services such as academic advising, tutoring and free clinical counseling.<\/p>\n

Make the most of helpful resources such as the Advising Center, Student Success Network, Student Government Association, library, access to computers, Wi-Fi across campus, Student Wellness Center, Success Closet, Food Pantry, Midway Caf\u00e9, and the entire NCC campus.<\/p>\n
