Dual Credit
Q: Why is dual credit the right choice through NICC?
A: Tuition is waived for High School students.
Currently enrolled high school students may apply for special admission for dual-credit courses. In other words, students can earn college credit AND meet high school graduation requirements. These dually enrolled students may enroll in no more than 6 college level credits per term, before completion of High School requirements. NICC follows the Dual-Credit Standards signed by Nebraska TCUs and Community Colleges.

Reverse Transfer
Even if NICC is not your final destination, if you earn up to 15 credits with us you may be eligible for reverse transfer to earn your Associates degree with NICC.
Reverse Transfer is a unique process for awarding associate degrees to students who have transferred in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree before completing the requirements for an associate degree at NICC. Through our reverse transfer program, students can combine credits they earned at two and four-year institutions to be awarded an associate degree at NICC while also working toward a bachelor’s degree.
