Updates as of 3-30-2015If you want to take summer school, you will need to be ready to enroll in April. You must enroll in person, so if you are interested in summer school, LET ME KNOW. I will bring someone in from NCTC to enroll you.

I am working on getting TSI test dates in May after all testing. Still waiting for confirmation.

If you are a junior who has already applied and are waiting for the dual credit registration form, I will email you as soon as I get them from NCTC.
