Nassau Community College is committed to providing an opportunity for all qualified
applicants to receive a quality education. Applicants who have been dismissed from
another academic institution for disciplinary reasons may be accepted to study at
Nassau Community College, providing the applicant is able to successfully satisfy
the evaluation process. Applications will be reviewed by the College Admissions Review
Committee. The Committee will request that the applicant provide the specifics of
the disciplinary dismissal, such as background, charges filed, and date(s) of occurrence.
Appropriate releases may have to be executed by the applicant for receipt of educational
disciplinary records. The Committee may also require a personal interview to clarify
or verify the information received.
Upon reviewing the information, the Committee will determine whether the student may
be admitted to the College, whether certain conditions of admissibility will be imposed
(i.e., major selection, course scheduling, involvement in activities), or whether
admission will be denied. NCC reserves the right to deny an applicant’s request for
admission to the College or to a selected program at the College if the applicant’s
disciplinary record would prevent the applicant from successfully completing or obtaining
a required license and/or certification associated with the program, or would involve
an unreasonable risk to students or property, or to the welfare of the campus community.
Failure to disclose any disciplinary dismissals, falsification of data, or intentional
misrepresentation within any area of the application process, may result in denial
of admission, disciplinary action, or the immediate dismissal of any student found
to be culpable.
