Step 3: Complete the Permit to Attend Form

  • Complete the High School Permit to Attend Form. The $46 per credit unit enrollment fee has been waived by the NVC Board of Trustees. If it is prior to the open registration period, then the student will not be registered, but will be set up to register in MyNVC Self-Service. If the student submits the Permit to Attend during the registration period, then the student will be registered by the Admissions and Records staff. If the student submits the Permit to Attend after the class has started, then an add code must be included.
  • Make sure all signatures are included: Student, Parent, and Principal and Admissions and Records office. If the class is full or signature(s) are missing, you will not be able to register for classes.

 

Step 4: Register for Classes and Log onto Canvas

  • If the Permit to Attend form is submitted prior to open registration, then the student must log into MyNVC Self-Service and register for the class listed on the Permit to Attend form in Student Planning.
  • Log onto Canvas 

 

Important Information

A new High School Permit to Attend is needed for each term you wish to enroll in college courses while you are in high school. CCAP students will only be required to submit one form per class per academic year (as instructed by CCAP program staff).

You may only register or add courses that are listed on your High School Permit to Attend Form. If you wish to add a class not listed on the Permit to Attend Form, you must complete another form.When registering for a

Dance or P.E. class, you must request an add code from the instructor on the first day of class. Registration prior to the first day of class is not possible.

Please make sure you DROP your class(es) if you are no longer able to attend. Check the Admissions and Records Registration Calendar for drop dates.

If you need further assistance, you may make an appointment with Maria Lopez, Admissions and Records Specialist.
