Always keep your student ID handy, you will need it for tests, the library, and tutor labs. As soon as you can learn your Student ID number, it will be very important. Always check your school email, even on weekends, for many professors weekends is the only free time to send emails. Do not be afraid to participate during class, it is the best way to learn. Do not procrastinate, it is one of the worst mistakes any student can make.

Don't procrastinate, especially in classes with a lot of writing or the science classes. Be on time for class and leave when class is over. Some professors will start giving quizzes at the beginning and/or end of class if the majority of the class is late or leave early.

Make sure to speak to an adviser, and during fall and spring semesters remember to register for classes as soon as possible as the classes fill quickly.

NFCC has transferable college credit programs that are accepted at major universities. NFCC has partnerships with universities so that students can stay local and achieve their baccalaureate degree. If students prefer personal college experience where teachers know students by name then NFCC is the place for them. The student advisors and other staff members are extremely friendly and helpful so if you ever need to know anything, just ask. Study! Study! Study! You have to truly study hard to pass these classes.

for any students that are considering an education through nfcc, i would say, be sure to sign up very quickly for classes because they can fill up fast. also, if you don't know anyone on campus, try getting involved with student government. they can make awesome things happen! i would encourage face-to-face classes rather than online classes, simply because face-to-face classes can almost guarantee that one-on-one time can happen with a professor. if there are classes that you fear or dread but have to take anyways, go to the free tutoring lab and someone is almost always there to help.
