All instructor concerns should be referred to the Dr. Beth Frankenstein at NCC.

Students in Jointly Enrolled classes are considered College students by our facuilty and staff. Thus, NCC is limited in the information it may share with a parent or guardian. Students are encouraged to communicate with their instructors regularly about their concerns and needs. However, you can contact your student’s high school guidance counselor or the Director of Secondary Programs, Beth Frankenstein, at NCC for help.

Once your student begins classes they are an NCC student and eligible for all services provided to students. There are many benefits, including:

• Free tutoring in the Learning Center
• Accommodations for students with special needs
• Student email and access to My Place (our web portal)
• Library services
• A student ID card and discounts at area businesses
• Access to student computers Monday through Friday
• Advising.

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act is a federal law that protects the privacy of student records. This would make it illegal for NCC to provide private information concerning students to anyone including the parents. When your student completes a NCC High School registration form they have the opportunity to sign a waiver so that we may release information to you and to the High School.
