NCC-1000 Paths to College Success

Why I'm taking NCC 1000:

NCC 1000, Paths to College Success, assists students in transitioning from high school to college. Students are often unsuccessful simply because they have not been able to make the transition, and not because they do not have what it takes to be a successful college student. Students often give up on college without even knowing that they could have been successful. NCC 1000 will teach you to make smart choices in college and will pass on some "tricks" that will assist you in your success here at Normandale Community College and after. Taking a course that helps you to get what you want out of college is an investment in your future and in your career.
