FAQ

New students and students who haven’t attended NFC in over a year need to apply for admission. Dual enrolled high school students must apply to attend after high school. You may apply online here. Students applying for dual enrollment should contact their high school or the NFC Office of Dual Enrollment. Students applying for dual enrollment will not apply through the regular NFC online application.

You create a Login ID and PIN when you start the online Application for Admission. The Login and PIN are only used for the online application. If you fully submitted your application, you will receive instructions by email for setting up your MyNFC portal, which is different from your online application account. If you didn’t finish your online application and need back in, you may call Admissions at 850-973-1622 or 850-973-9405 for help with your login name, but we will not know the password you created. You may also start your application over by creating a new account.

Check the email account you provided on your online application and see if you received a confirmation immediately after tapping submit. If you didn’t get that email, your application might not be fully complete. This link may help you resolve the most common error. After you fully submit your Application, our staff usually process it within three business days and email you with your student ID and instructions to set up your MyNFC account. Follow the steps in that email to setup your MyNFC account and check for admission holds. If you don’t receive the admission email after three business days, email Admissions with your full name so we can check the status.

Follow the instructions in the admission email/letter to activate your MyNFC account. Then login to Ellucian Banner from your MyNFC portal and check for holds by going to Student –> Student Records –> Registration Status. You may also use the Enrollment Checklist to guide you through your next steps or find whom to contact with questions.

Reset your account by selecting “Reset/Forgot Password” on the My NFC page. Additional help is on the My NFC Support page of the portal.

There are several reasons to consider.

• Residency status undetermined - The most common reason is because students have yet to return their residency declaration and supporting documents to the Office of Admissions.
• Georgia Residents - If you live in one of our surrounding Georgia counties (Brooks, Echols, Lowndes, or Thomas) the next county waiver might not be applied. This is an extra step that has to happen after you register each term. Email Financial Aid with your name and Student ID/G# and ask them to review your bill.
• Third Attempts - Your tuition will be higher if you are attempting a class for a third time. You may speak with your academic advisor about submitting a petition for exemption from full cost of instruction. Your petition may or may not be approved by the dean.
• Repeating a Passed Course – You may be registered in a non-repeatable class for which you have already earned a grade of “C” or higher. Most classes are not repeatable. Review your schedule carefully and contact your academic advisor if you have questions.

There are several reasons to consider:

• Class Start Date - Classes open in D2L on the first day of class. Login on the first day of class to review the content, including the syllabus and first week assignments. It is important that you complete these first assignments or you may be dropped from class for not participating.
• Bill Unpaid – Tuition and fees are due by the deadline published in the College Calendar and the date will show on your schedule/bill. If your tuition is not paid or secured in full with financial aid, you may be dropped for non-payment. Contact the Business Office at 850-973-1610 to pay fees by phone or ask about getting reinstated before the deadline.
• Instructor Drops – Instructors verify initial attendance during the first few days of class. If you don’t complete the first assignments in your class, your instructor may report you as a no show and dropped from the class. If you believe this happened in error, contact your instructor to ask if they made a mistake and if they will allow you back in. Your instructor will need to contact the Office of Enrollment Services to request that you get reinstated.
