STEP
Apply for
Financial Aid
Photo ID is required at the front counter of the Financial Aid
Office when inquiring about your Financial Aid status. Please
be sure to bring your driver’s license, State ID or NCC Student
ID with you.
Parents please be advised that student information,
including financial aid information, cannot be given to the
parent without the student present or without a signed
release form. ONLY the student can fill out a release form in
the Financial Aid Office in room E105. Please refer to the
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) Brochure
that explains confidentiality at NCC.
Getting Started
1. Provide an email address where we can send information
about your financial aid. Both NCC’s Financial Aid Office
and the U.S. Department of Education will use your email
address to send you updates about your Financial Aid. If
you don’t have an email address you can get one for FREE
at many websites on the Internet. Some of these sites are
www.hotmail.com, www.juno.com, www.worldnet.com,
www.yahoo.com. Please remember: If you change your email
address, make sure to change it on my.CommNet.edu also.
• Your parent’s Federal Income Tax Return
• Records of untaxed income, Worker Compensation and
Disability, veteran’s benefits, military or clergy allowances,
child support and SNAP
• Current bank statements and records of stocks, bonds,
and other investments
• Business or farm records if applicable
• Your permanent resident card if you are an eligible
non-citizen
Questions about the FAFSA process should be directed to
(203) 857-7023.
5. Use the “Online” Student Information System. Track your
Financial Aid application on the Internet by using NCC’s
online student information system, myCommNet. To use
myCommNet, you will need your NetID. Please see “Log on
to Your Student Account” on page 4 for instructions on how
to access the student information system.
Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have any questions.
We are here to assist you at NK-FinAid@norwalk.edu or call
(203) 857-7023.
2. Apply for financial aid, if desired. Apply for a Federal
Student Aid ID (FSA ID). If you do not have an FSA ID go
to www.fsaid.gov to apply for one. The FSA ID allows you to
sign your FAFSA online. Dependent students need to have
one parent apply for a FSA ID also.
3. Complete Free Application for Student Aid (FAFSA) on
the Web. To apply for Federal, State and NCC aid, please
go to the FAFSA website at www.FAFSA.ed.gov and apply
for aid. This is a FREE process. There are other websites that
charge a fee, these are NOT the U.S. Department of Education’s website. You should never have to pay a fee to fill out
the FAFSA application. NCC’s school code for the FAFSA
application is 001399.
4. You will need the following documents to complete the
FAFSA online:
• Your social security card and driver’s license
• W-2 forms or other records of income earned
• Your Federal Income Tax Return
3
STEP
Take the
Placement Test
All first-time students are placed into courses based on an assessment of their academic readiness to take college-level courses.
Most students must take a placement test*—a computerized skills
assessment of reading comprehension, writing and mathematics
abilities. The results will provide you and your NCC advisor
with the information needed to place you in courses appropriate
to your background and ability.
To sign up for a placement test, you must first submit an
application to NCC, with a $20 fee, and receive your NCC
Student ID (or Banner) number.
STEP
4
* The Mathematics Department strongly suggests that you review your math skills
before taking the test.
Log On to Your
Student Account
Your application must be complete in order to access your student
myCommNet account. Access to new student accounts may take
up to 24 hours after Admissions has processed your application.
Your NetID is your college network user name, and it allows you to
log on to computers in the library and labs. Your NetID also
gives you entry to http://my.commnet.edu, the “portal” entry to
Connecticut Community College online services: library services,
online registration, academic transcripts, grades, Blackboard
Learn and more.
Logging On For the First Time
You received your Banner ID when you were admitted. It is not
the confirmation number (i.e. G00...) you received with your
online application. Your NetID is your Banner ID with the @
symbol following the eight numbers (i.e. 123456768@student.
commnet.edu). If you have questions about your application,
contact Admissions at (203) 857-7068. 4 www.norwalk.edu
Testing is by appointment only. You can schedule your
appointment through the NCC website at www.norwalk.edu
by clicking on “Admissions” and then on “Placement Testing.”
You may be exempt if you have prior college English composition and math credits, or SAT or ACT scores at certain levels.
See the placement testing page on the NCC website for details.
After submitting SAT/ACT scores or completion of the
NCC placement test, you will receive registration instructions.
Your initial password is made up of the following personal
information:
• The first three characters of your birth month (with the first
letter capitalized)
• The “&” symbol
• The last four digits of your Social Security Number (for example:
Apr&1899). If you did not provide a social security number, please
go to the Records Office, room E102, with a valid photo ID to
request a password.
The password is case sensitive. You will be prompted to change
your password.
For additional information, go to www.norwalk.edu,
click on the yellow myCommNet bar on the left side of the
page, then click on Login to myCommNet. If you don’t know
your NetID, click on Forgot your Net ID. You will then be
directed to the NetID Lookup where you can enter your personal information.

Academic Advising
STEP
New Students
First-time students are required to schedule and attend a FirstYear Success Workshop. New students taking the placement test
will be asked to make a First-Year Success Workshop (FYSW)
appointment upon completion of the test.
Students who expect to be exempt from both the English and
mathematics placement test for qualifying SAT or ACT scores
can make an appointment for a FYSW through the NCC website in the menu under Admissions on the homepage.
At the workshop, students will have an orientation presentation, meet with an advisor and register for classes.

will only be allowed to add additional courses to their schedules.
Online Registration
All current students are strongly encouraged to use the NCC
online system to register for classes, especially if they have met with
an advisor and are aware of course pre- or co-requisites.
Here’s What to Do:
• Search for available courses on the web via the public
Course Schedule Search that can be accessed from the link
on the NCC website, www.norwalk.edu.
• Click on the hyperlinks in the Course Search to view
important course and textbook information.
• Once you have selected your classes and met with your
advisor, register for classes online by securely logging into
the myCommNet web system (http://my.commnet.edu)
using your NetID.
• You can register online for courses for which you have
successfully completed the prerequisite courses at NCC, or
have transferred in credit through the Counseling Center,
or for which your advisor has entered a registration waiver
for you in the system. See the NCC College Catalog for
Course Descriptions to view course prerequisites.
• You may also access course descriptions on the NCC
homepage under Academics.
• After logging in to myCommNet, follow the directions on
page 8 to register online for classes.
Online Registration Notes:
• Register at your convenience on the web.
• Be sure to include a credit card payment online or pay in
person at the Business Office at time of registration.
• Print out and check your class schedule on myCommNet.
• The last day to register online for a full-semester (15-week)
class is the day before that semester begins.
• The last day to drop a full-semester (15-week) class online
with 100% tuition refund is the day before that semester begins.
• VETERANS who register must immediately notify the Veterans
Certifying Official in the Records Office, room E102.
• Track your progress toward your degree/certificate using
the Degree Evaluation tool in your myCommNet.
NetID and Login Information
What is NetID and why is it important?
What can I do if that doesn’t work?
NetID is your college network username, and it allows you to log on to
computers in the library and the labs. In addition, from any computer with
Internet access, your NetID gives you entry to http://my.commnet.edu,
the “portal” of single point of entry to Norwalk Community College online
services which include library services, online registration, academic transcripts,
grades, Blackboard and more.
The ID that you receive from the Admissions Office when you apply (called
a G number) will NOT allow you to do any of the above. You will need to
wait to receive your Banner or student ID which begins with @ in order to
access myCommNet.
If you don’t have a Social Security Number you will not be able to use the
kiosks or the website to reset your password. Instead, bring your photo ID
(driver’s license, passport, NCC ID card) to the I.T. Office (room E319) or
the Records Office (room E102), and a staff member will help you.
For any other problems you may encounter at a kiosk or on the website,
bring your valid photo ID (driver’s license, passport, NCC ID card) to the
I.T. Office (room E319) or the Records Office (room E102) and a staff
member will help you.
For further password reset options via email, go to www.commnet.edu/
netid and select the “Reset Forgotten Password” option.
What does a NetID look like?
How can current students register for
courses online?
Your NetID will resemble 12345678@student.commnet.edu and is your
8-digit student ID followed by @student.commnet.edu. If you are a new
student, a temporary NetID password was automatically created for you, and
resembles this example: Oct&1234. Your temporary password is unique to
you, and is made up of:
•The first three letters of your birth month with the first letter capitalized,
like this: Oct
•An ampersand (“&”) which is located above the number 7 on the
computer keyboard: &
•The last four numbers of your Social Security Number (SSN): 1234
(If you did not provide a SSN, go to the Records Office, room E102, with
a valid photo ID.)
Note: The first time you log in to a college computer successfully, you will be
required to change your password and to set your security question. There will
be a choice of questions and you will need to pick one and provide an answer.
You will have two minutes to type in and then confirm your new password.
If you exceed the time limit you will need to start over, so be prepared by thinking
of a new password before you log in for the first time! If you ever need to reset
your password you will be prompted to choose the same security question and
give the same answer.
How do I create a password that will work?
Your password must be at least eight characters, and must include three
of the following types of characters:
•An upper case letter (A to Z)
•A lower case letter (a to z)
•A number (0 to 9)
•Punctuation or symbols: ! @ # 0 ^ & * ( ) _ + | ~ - = ` { . } [ ] : “ ; ‘ ? , /
Your password cannot contain any part of your name, your NetID, or your
Social Security Number. Here are some examples of the many easy-toremember passwords that satisfy the above requirements:
Egg2Salad
Out2lunch
#75chase
Fido2006
RedSox05
67Mustang
You may use the kiosks located throughout the NCC campus to reset your
password, or go to the www.commnet.edu/netid website and follow these five
easy steps:
1. Think of a new password (using the requirements listed above)
2. Enter your NetID (which is your student ID without the @ sign)
3. Enter your Birth Date and Social Security Number
4. Provide the answer to your Security Question
5. Enter the new password you created in Step 1.

Tuition Refund Policy
If a student decides to withdraw after registering for courses, he
or she must give written Notice of Withdrawal to the Records
Office in order to receive a refund in accordance with the
following schedule (check online for specific dates):
• Final date to receive 100% tuition refund is the day prior to
beginning of semester.
• Final date to drop via web with 100% tuition refund is the
day prior to beginning of semester.
• Final date to receive a 50% tuition refund is determined by
college policy according to the number of weeks in the term.
The 50% tuition refund is through the 14th calendar day
of the full Fall or Spring semester and is pro-rated providing for shorter refund periods for shorter Fall and Spring
terms. Please refer to the college calendar on the NCC
website for the exact refund dates for each term.
Application and registration fees are always non-refundable.
There will be a $25 charge for all returned checks.
Tuition Waivers
Connecticut Senior Citizens 62 and older pay no tuition
fees, with the exception of studio and lab fees, for General Fund
courses on a space available basis to be determined by Senior
Registration Day (check date/time online). Proof of age must be
shown and a Waiver of Tuition and Fees Form completed in the
Business Office to finalize the senior registration process.
A senior citizen may register early by paying for the course;
however, paying for the course negates the senior waiver for that
course. No refund will be issued if the course is dropped, then
re-added on senior registration day.
Connecticut War Veterans and Connecticut
National Guard Members
Connecticut War Veterans and Connecticut National Guard
Members pay fees only (no tuition). Veterans must present Form
DD-214 and complete a Tuition Waiver Form in the Records
Office prior to registration. National Guard Members must have
their certification submitted to the NCC Business Office before
registering for classes. Connecticut veterans who have applied
for the post-9/11 CH33 GI Bill and have submitted a Certificate
of Eligibility to the NCC Records Office (room E102) will pay
their course fees and have their tuition reimbursed for eligible
fees when NCC receives payment from the Federal Government.
Non-resident CH33 veterans will pay tuition and fees and
will be reimbursed when NCC receives payment from the
Federal Government.
Course Listings, Prerequisites and
Requirements
Course Listings
For a complete listing of all the courses available at Norwalk
Community College, please go to the NCC website at www.
norwalk.edu and click on “Class Schedule Search.” You will then
be on the Connecticut Community College Course Search page
where you will be able to access real-time information regarding
course availability.
Course Prerequisites
Many college courses have prerequisites that indicate the prior
knowledge and skills students need to succeed in the course.
It is the responsibility of the student to meet these course
prerequisites before enrolling.
To determine whether prerequisites are required for the
course you wish to take, go to the NCC website at www.
norwalk.edu; click on the link “Catalog” and then click on
“Course Descriptions.”
If you have fulfilled the prerequisite at NCC, you can
proceed to online registration. If you have taken the prerequisite
at a different college that has not been added to your NCC
transcript, you will need to request an override to be entered
12 www.norwalk.edu
on your behalf in order to register for the course.
Send an email to the director or chair of the department
for the course you want to take (see back cover). In the email
indicate:
• Your name
• Your Banner ID
• The semester for which you wish to register
• The course CRN
• The course number and section (example: ACC D113-02)
• The reason why you are requesting the override; attach an
unofficial transcript with the prerequisite listed.
You will receive a reply email within three business days. If the
override has been approved, you will be able to register online.
English Requirements
Students are required to enroll in an appropriate English course
after completing nine credits unless they can demonstrate proficiency in written English. If you fail or withdraw from a required
English course, it must be repeated in your next semester of
enrollment.
Online, Online/Campus Hybrid and
Computer Courses
Students taking online or online/campus hybrid courses for
the first time should plan to attend a scheduled orientation on
the East Campus. For information regarding online/hybrid
orientation dates and times, please contact Lois Aime at
laime@norwalk.edu or (203) 857-7288.
Technical Requirements
In order to take an online/hybrid course, you must have access
to a computer with Internet access that meets the following
requirements:
• Windows: XP/8/10, if using Internet Explorer 10 or 11,
Firefox 31+ or higher, or Google Chrome 36+ or higher
• Mac Operating System: OS 10.8.x, or 10.9.x Firefox 3.x
or higher or Chrome OS
• Additional Notes: All browsers require JavaScript, Java,
Popups, Cookies to be enabled and Flash to be enabled.
Online Courses
All communications, assignments, tests, etc. take place on the
Internet using a course management system called Blackboard,
at a time and place that is convenient for you. You DO NOT
have to attend “class” at a specific time on campus. You DO
need to have strong time management and organizational skills.
Online classes are not easier—just more convenient.
Online/Campus Hybrid Courses
These classes can have any number of formats. But, they are all
taught partially in a campus classroom at a required time and
partially online using Blackboard. You may be required to meet
on campus as much as once a week or as little as three times a
semester. This will vary with each course, so be sure to check the
schedule carefully and verify this with your professor on the first
day of class when taking a hybrid course.
Hybrid courses allow you the flexibility of working in an
online environment while still meeting with your instructor and
classmates in a classroom. You continue to have the support that
you receive in a classroom environment, but you do not have
to spend as much time on campus. For those of you who are
working or have family obligations, or perhaps both, this form of
class structure offers you the flexibility you need to go to school
while meeting those obligations.
For more information on taking online and hybrid classes at
NCC, go to http://www.norwalk.edu/dept/distancelearning/
default.asp. This site lists system requirements, various fixes
for technical difficulties, has links to add-ins you might need to
download and other pertinent information.
Computer Courses
Students enrolling in a computer course should check the course
description for equipment and system requirements and restrictions.
Learning Communities at NCC
What are learning communities?
At NCC, learning communities are paired classes where the
same group of students take two or more courses together. The
classes are linked, which means that the teachers have organized
assignments around common themes. The professors work closely
together as a team, providing support for all students. Students
receive credit for each course as well as two separate grades.
What are the benefits of enrolling in a
learning community?
Students who enroll in learning communities benefit from
smaller classes, allowing support from both their teachers and
other students. As a result of the coordination within the learning
community, students are more likely to do well in their linked
classes. In addition, coordinated assignments deepen the learning experience and minimize workload.
Research shows that students enrolled in learning communities
enjoy higher GPAs, stronger motivation, and greater success in
their courses!
How do students register for learning
communities?
The class schedule for each semester will have a separate page
listing the learning communities with instructions for registration.
If a student chooses to withdraw from one of the paired classes in
the learning community, they are required to withdraw from both
classes at the same time.
For more information, contact the Center for Teaching and
Learning at (203) 857-7291.

during attendance at such school by a program, such as the "A Better Chance" program,
established as a nonprofit organization that raises charitable funds on the local level for the
purpose of giving students who are minority students, from single parent homes or live in
poverty, an opportunity to attend school in a different environment. (For purposes of this
subdivision, "minority student" means a student whose racial ancestry is defined as other than

until I provide sufficient evidence to support my eligibility for in-state tuition.
I understand that if I have misrepresented my eligibility for in-state tuition, I may be subject to
sanctions under the Student Conduct Policy of the Board of Trustees and my admission to the
Connecticut Community Colleges may be revoked. In addition, I will be obligated to reimburse
the College for the difference between the in-state tuition and out-of-state tuition rate for the
period during which I paid the in-state tuition rate to which I was not entitled.
I acknowledge and understand that in order to recover any monies that I owe on account of my
payment of the in-state tuition rate to which I was not entitled, the College may pursue all lawful
means available to it, including but not limited to the application of any monies held by the
College to the amount that I owe for tuition and fees, which I hereby authorize; withholding
transcripts until all amounts owed are paid; and any available civil and/or criminal remedies.
