What constitutes academic probation, academic suspension, and academic dismissal?
A student is placed on academic probation at the end of any term that his/her cumulative grade point average is less than a “C” (2.0), once seven college credit hours have been attempted. Continued probation occurs when the student earns a minimum 2.0 term grade point average and the cumulative GPA remains below 2.0. The student is returned to good standing when the cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. A student on academic probation is placed on academic suspension for one semester if both the term and cumulative grade point averages fall below 2.0. After one regular term of suspension has passed, a student may be readmitted, but is continued on academic probation until his/her cumulative GPA is 2.0 or higher. The student placed on academic probation is restricted to enrolling in not more than thirteen (13) semester hours and is required to have approval of his/her program of study by an advisor prior to his/her next registration. The advisor approval requires:
(a) A complete evaluation of courses attempted and completed.
(b) A review of the student’s program of study.
(c) An advisor’s recommendation concerning support services needed.
Should another suspension occur, the student will be academically dismissed for a period of one semester. The student must first meet with an advisor to develop a plan (in writing) for the improvement of academic skills and a recommendation to continue. This plan must be presented to the Vice President of Academic Affairs for review and final approval.
If a student transfers to the College and is working toward the Associate in Arts Degree, his/her cumulative grade point average is determined by those transfer courses posted on his/her transcript. The student remains in good standing until his/her transfer work has been officially evaluated and becomes a part of his/her academic record.
Please note:
1. The cumulative grade point average does not include college preparatory courses.
2. A college credit student who has been suspended may change to a vocational certificate program and register for vocational classes in good standing.
3. A student transferring to North Florida Community College into the Associate in Arts Program with less than a
2.00 GPA is admitted on probation.

What is my USER ID?
Your User ID is your student ID number assigned to you when you complete an application. It is an 8 digit number preceded by the capital letter “G” (be sure to use upper case G and 8 digits). If you do not know your student ID number you can look it up on the WEB. From the NFCC homepage click on NFCC Information Network located on the left side of the page. Next, click on “Enter Secure Area”. At the bottom of the page, click on “Lookup User ID”.

When and how do I register for classes?
Once the application for admission has been submitted and placement testing requirements have been met, you should make arrangements to meet with an academic advisor for guidance in course selection and program planning. First time students will have a “hold” placed on their record, for the first semester only, and will not be able to register without meeting with an advisor. Contact an academic advisor at advising@nfcc.edu.
Returning students and new students who have been advised can register in person or on the WEB. Registration dates are published in the Schedule of Classes or advertised at www.nfcc.edu.

Registering online requires a Personal Identification Number (PIN). How do I obtain a PIN?
A student's PIN is set at the time of application to the College, and is your six-digit birthday (MMDDYY). You must change it. Write it down so you won’t forget! For example, a student whose birth date is January 23, 1986, will have an initial PIN of 012386. Upon accessing the online registration system, students are encouraged to change their PIN to a number known only to them.
|
What happens if I forget my PIN?
If you change your PIN and forget the number, you must contact Enrollment Services at 850.973.9469 for assistance.
|
Do I have to see an advisor or a counselor in order to register?
All students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor each semester prior to registration. First time students will have a “hold” placed on their record and will not be able to register, for the first semester only, without meeting with an advisor. Contact an academic advisor at advising@nfcc.edu.

Why are some classes restricted?
Some classes are restricted to prevent our students from enrolling in courses for which they are not prepared. Some courses are restricted to those who meet the minimum scores on the placement examination (determined at the state level), and some courses are restricted to those who have completed appropriate prerequisite courses. Other courses are restricted to those who have been admitted into limited-access programs. |
Can I add or drop classes after I register? How?
Yes, courses may be added or dropped at any time during the registration period. The registration dates will be published in the College Credit Course Schedule and advertised at www.pjc.edu. Schedule adjustments can be made online or on campus. Schedule adjustments are not allowed beyond the first week of classes in a fall or spring semester. The schedule adjustment period for a summer term varies but is usually the first two days of the term.
|
What is the difference between a "drop" and a "withdrawal"?
Students may drop a class at any time during the scheduled registration period including through the first week of classes in a fall or spring term. Dropping a class results in a complete refund of tuition paid (either to the student or to the student's financial aid account). Once the schedule adjustment period ends, students are no longer able to drop classes for refunds. Students who are unable to complete a class for whatever reason may withdraw from that class up to the withdrawal deadline. Withdrawing from a class does not result in a refund, and students who choose to withdraw will receive a final grade of "W." A student may withdraw from any class by contacting an academic advisor.
|
What happens if I stop attending and do not file a formal withdrawal?
Students who do not process a formal withdrawal will receive a grade assigned at the discretion of the faculty
member. Many instructors will assign a failing grade to those students who cease attending. All students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the attendance policies of the College, in general, and the attendance policies of the instructors of the classes being taken, in particular.
|
May I repeat a class to try for a better grade?
Yes. Students are permitted to repeat any class in which a grade of "D" or "F" was earned. When repeated, the repeated grade is the grade used in GPA calculations.
|
How do I get a copy of my transcript?
A form for requesting transcripts is available in the Enrollment Services Office as well as on the NFCC website. Students may obtain this form or request that it is mailed to them. Currently, there is no fee charged for transcripts.
All official transcripts are issued by Office of Enrollment Services at North Florida Community College. No transcript of credit will be released if there is a “hold” on the student’s record. Examples of holds include financial obligations, unreturned library books, or college property on loan to a student that has not been returned. TRANSCRIPTS MAY NOT BE REQUESTED VIA TELEPHONE OR EMAIL.
