No paper requests or orders are accepted, and any phone calls requesting transcripts will be directed to the online ordering website. There are several different delivery and pick-up options that you can choose from when requesting copies. Both official and unofficial transcripts are $5.00 per copy, regardless of delivery method. Copies can be paid for by major credit or debit card on the National Student Clearing House order site. To ensure that your order goes through, you MUST SIGN the online Paperless Consent Form. If you need help with your transcript request orders, click the Transcript Ordering Help link at the bottom of the page or contact the National Student Clearinghouse at 703-742-4200.

If you haven't already taken a placement test (ACT, SAT, or Accuplacer), potential NMJC students are allowed to take the Accuplacer at the NMJC Testing Center, free of charge, for the first attempt. The test is required for students who have not previously taken a placement test and who have not taken their first college level math and English courses. Accuplacer assesses math, English, and reading competencies.

After the first free attempt, re-takes are $5 per section, or $15 for the entire assessment.

The testing center will proctor Accuplacer Monday through Friday 8AM-5PM. The last full Accuplacer testers admitted will be at 3PM, although individual section testers may be admitted until 4PM.

Picture ID's (drivers license, school ID with picture, etc.) are required to test.

If you were dropped from one or all of your classes (without you personally initiating the drop), it is likely that the 48 hour window of payment opportunity had passed. After 48 hours from registration, if payment is not made (either paid in full, payment plan set up or financial aid finalized and in place), the registration system will automatically purge you from the course(s).

If there is space in the section, to re-enroll you must contact the Help Desk or re-enroll online.
