2021-2022 Registration Guide 9Course Listings, Prerequisites and
Requirements
Course Listings
For a complete listing of all available courses, please go to the
NCC website at www.norwalk.edu and click on the “Academics”
tab, then “Course Search.” You will then be on the Connecticut
Community College Course Search page where you will be able to
access real-time information regarding course availability.
Course Prerequisites
Many college courses have prerequisites that indicate the prior
knowledge and skills students need to succeed in the course.
It is the responsibility of the student to meet these course
prerequisites before enrolling.
To determine if prerequisites are required for the course you
wish to take, go to the NCC website at www.norwalk.edu and
click on the “Academics” tab, then “Course Descriptions.”
If you have fulfilled the prerequisite at NCC, you can
proceed to online registration. If you have taken the prerequisite
at a different college that has not been added to your NCC Email the director or chair of the department for the course
transcript, you will need to request an override to be entered you want to take (see back cover). In the email indicate:
on your behalf in order to register for the course. • Your name
• Your Banner ID
• The semester for which you wish to register
• The course CRN
• The course number and section (example: ACC D113-02)
• The reason why you are requesting the override; attach an
unofficial transcript with the prerequisite listed.
You will receive a reply email within three business days. If the
override has been approved, you will be able to register online.
English Requirements
Students are required to enroll in an appropriate English
course after completing nine credits unless they can demonstrate
proficiency in written English. If you fail or withdraw from
a required English course, it must be repeated in your next
semester of enrollment.

Additional Notes: All browsers require JavaScript, Java, Popups, Computer Courses
and Cookies to be enabled. Students enrolling in a computer course should check the course
description for equipment and system requirements and restrictions.
Online Courses
All communications, assignments, tests, etc. take place on the
Internet using a course management system called Blackboard,
at a time and place that is convenient for you. You DO NOT
have to attend “class” at a specific time on campus. You DO
need to have strong time management and organizational skills.
Online classes are not easier—just more convenient.
Online/Campus Hybrid Courses
These classes can have any number of formats. But, they are all
taught partially in a campus classroom at a required time and
partially online using Blackboard. You may be required to meet
on campus as much as once a week or as little as three times a
semester. This will vary with each course, so be sure to check
the schedule carefully and verify this with your professor on the
first day of class when taking a hybrid course.
Hybrid courses allow you the flexibility of working in an
online environment while still meeting with your instructor
and classmates in a classroom. You continue to have the support
that you receive in a classroom environment, but you do not
have to spend as much time on campus. For those of you who
are working or have family obligations, or perhaps both, this
form of class structure offers you the flexibility you need to go
to school while meeting those obligations.
