North is the right direction if you want to work on your transfer dergee, learn a new job or skill, or explore a new interest. The college is located at 9600 College Way North, Seattle. It is accessible by several bus routes and is located near I-5 in the Northgate area.
If you wish to transfer to a four-year college or university, you can complete your first two years of coursework at NSCC. The University of Washington recently reported that it accepted more transfer students than ever this fall. North continues to be among the colleges that provide the highest number of transfer students to the UW and other four-year colleges and universities.
Transfer students can get extra help through the college's exclusive Transfer Pathways program. You can also select from wide array of transfer courses and programs in art, English, humanities, several sciences, social sciences, computer science, music, history, math, the performing arts, psychology, sociology, world languages, communication, and several world languages.
The college's broad array of professional/technical programs include several that are available ONLY at North, including Nanotechnology, Communication, Business and Media, and Watchmaking. You can also work toward a degree or certificate in such areas as accounting, business, early childhood education, electronics, engineering, information technology, health and medical, nursing (LPN and RN), medical assisting, and real estate.
The first step is to be admitted to the college. You will receive an email or letter from the college within 48 hours of your application. This letter will include your student ID number, which you will need to register for classes. You can register online or in person at the college.
If you are entering a degree, certificate, or college transfer program, you are encouraged to meet with an advisor to plan your schedule. The advisors are available daily on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Weekly orientation sessions are offered to explain the Worker Retraining program, which offers special services and assistance for people who are out of work, have received a WARN letter, are receiving unemployment benefits, or who have been working in the home, experienced a significant loss of income, and need to re-enter the work force. These sessions are held at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesdays in room CC 3449, also in the College Center Building.
Adults who do not have a high school diploma and adults for whom English is not their first language can learn new skills through the college's Adult Basic Education and English-as-a-Second Language classes. Young people under the age of 23 who have not completed high school can get help preparing for employment or future education through the college's free Career Link program.
NSCC offers one of the largest selections of adult education classes in the region through Continuing Education. Low-cost classes are also available to senior adults.
