Why is a student’s major/program at NMC so important? At NMC a student’s major is used to:

  • assign an academic advisor,
  • create an academic Plan with an advisor,
  • determine what classes financial aid will pay for, and
  • for scholarship eligibility.

This week, students are being reminded to check and update their program if necessary. How can you help?

  • If you take class attendance using a roster, print the class roster that includes students’ program of study so they can see their current program.
  • If you serve students face-to-face in another capacity, check their study transcript in Self Service.
  • Remind students of the difference between an AAS (meant for students who want to complete a two-year degree at NMC and then go straight into the workforce) and an ASA (meant for students who intend to transfer to pursue a bachelor’s degree at some point).
