Readmit Students
Credit students who have not been in attendance since the Spring 2005 semester will be readmitted and are subject to the curriculum requirements in existence at the time of readmission.
A Readmit Application must be submitted to the Records Office prior to or at the time of registration. You will find this application on the college website or stop by the Records Office located in K516.

Fresh Start Option
Any student who has not attended Naugatuck Valley
Community College for a period of two or more years
and who wants to start over without the handicap of
a grade point average of less than 2.0 may do so by
invoking the Fresh Start Option. This Option removes
all previous grades from the grade point average. Credit
is kept for all courses passed with grades of “P,
“C-”, or higher but with no grade. Any previous
courses in which grades of “D+“ or lower
were earned has no credit or grade. However, all courses
and grades remain visible on the transcript.
A student accepted for enrollment under Fresh Start
will return in the status of academic probation or suspension.
The Fresh Start Option does not apply to any completed
degree or certificate.
A student must complete a minimum of 15 credits after
return to college under the Fresh Start Option to be
eligible for a degree or certificate, and for graduation
honors.
A student may invoke Fresh Start Option only once at
Naugatuck Valley Community College and must do so prior
to or during the semester of readmission.
Are you Transferring to NVCC?
Transfer Students who have not attended NVCC before should contact the ADMISSIONS OFFICE
(Room K502) and start the process to become a degree seeking new student. Students who are
interested in receiving credit for course work completed at another institution should
have an official copy of their college transcript sent to the Admissions Office at
Naugatuck Valley. An official transfer credit evaluation is completed by the Associate
Registrar only after the new transfer student has been accepted to the College.
Students who are currently pursuing a degree program
at Naugatuck Valley and who complete course work at
another institution should have an official copy of
their transcript sent to the Associate Registrar for
an evaluation.
Transfer credit may be granted for comparable courses completed at accredited colleges and
universities in which a student has received a grade of "C" or better. Degree credit shall
be granted for all credit courses which are applicable to the objectives of, or equivalent
to the course requirements of, the degree program at Naugatuck Valley in which the
transferring student is enrolled. Credit work that is not applicable or equivalent to
degree requirements shall be accepted for credit at the discretion of the College.
Regardless of the number of transfer credits that are accepted from
other colleges, the student must complete at least twenty-five
percent of the minimum credit requirements for their
program of study through coursework taken at NVCC.
For further information, please contact the Associate
Registrar, Room K516, (203) 575-8094, Admissions
