Registration
Credit Limits
Students enrolled in 12 or more post-secondary (PS) credits per term are considered full-time. Students enrolled in fewer than 12 PS credits per term are considered part-time. Students may enroll in up to 18 PS credits during the term. Enrollment in more than the maximum number of credits requires approval from the Registrar. Most career programs are structured with 15-18 PS credits per term to complete the degree in a one- or two-year time frame.
Registration Procedures
Registration details are published each term at nicoletcollege.edu.
Students may register for classes through the first week of a term start provided they have met applicable admission requirements and there is space available. After the registration deadline, the fifth business day of the term, students will not be allowed to register for any classes that are already in progress. Exceptions may be granted by the Registrar.
Students are notified through their Nicolet email when registration is open. New students who have been admitted will be notified to schedule registration appointments when registration opens for their intended term. Non-program students may use mail-in, phone-in, or online registration options as outlined in the course schedules and register only during the late registration period.
Priority Registration
2013 Wisconsin Act 56 gives veterans and service members of the armed services priority in registering for courses at the University of Wisconsin System and technical colleges. "Service member” is defined as a person who has served or is serving on active duty under honorable conditions in the US armed forces, in forces incorporated as part of the US armed forces, in the National Guard, or in a reserve component of the US armed forces.
Any student attending Nicolet College who qualifies for priority registration must apply for this status and provide appropriate documentation.
Nicolet College will accept the following items as verification documentation:
DD214 or DD215 form – Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty
NGB22/22A form – National Guard Report of Separation and Record of Service
Reserve Credit Report and “Discharge Order and Point Summary”
Copy of Commander’s Letter
Copy of Current Orders
Letter from County Veteran Service Officer
Upon verification of appropriate documentation, the student will be notified by the Registrar that the application for Priority Registration has been approved. The student will receive email notification through their official Nicolet College email account. Once approved, the student will be eligible for priority registration for the duration of their status as a Nicolet student. The student does not need to be using veteran benefits to be eligible for priority registration. Prior to the opening of registration for each upcoming term, students who are approved for priority registration will be provided with the date and time on which they are eligible to register for courses.
