Students who do not intend to pursue a degree or certificate at Nassau, but rather, plan to take courses for personal enrichment or professional growth, may apply for non-matriculated status. They are not eligible for state and federal financial aid programs. Additionally, non-matriculated students may be restricted from taking certain courses and should consult an advisor in the Office of Admissions before registering.

Students in attendance who wish to change from non-matriculated to matriculated status must contact the Office of the Registrar. Additional documentation may be required. Students should review the "Academic Requirements" section of the catalog for matriculation requirements.

Non-matriculated students are not required to take the College’s Placement Test when they are admitted; however, students who have not taken the College’s Placement Test will be prohibited from enrolling in many college-level courses including but not limited to, English, reading or mathematics courses until placement test results are available. Permanent exemptions from the placement test will be given to those students who provide documentation indicating that they possess a college degree from an accredited institution, or who submit documentation indicating that they have successfully completed both a college-level writing course equivalent to Nassau’s ENG 101 (Composition I) and a mathematics course equivalent to Nassau’s MAT 109 (Algebra and Trigonometry) or higher.

Students interested in studying English through the Language Immersion at NCC (LINCC) Program will be required to take our placement test in English and Reading. Students in this program are not eligible for financial aid. It is a full-time day program only. If students intend to pursue a degree, they must apply for admission to the College.
