SCHOOL COUNSELORS

Welcome School Counselors!

As a school counselor, we value you as a partner in helping students achieve the next steps in their educational goals. This page is dedicated to providing resources for school counselors working with College Credit Plus and those looking to continue their education at Northwest State after high school. At any point, you are welcome to contact the Office of Admissions with questions.

 

Upload Transcripts

Northwest State Community College accepts transcripts online through our Next Cloud portal. For access to the link, please email your College Credit Plus advisor at NSCC. This is the preferred method of delivery over emailing them to the Office of Admissions.

To help the Office of Admissions with processing documents, it is helpful when transcripts are uploaded with the following naming convention: "last name_first name_school"

 

College Credit Plus Information

College Credit Plus at Northwest State Community College serves high school students at over 30 schools districts in Northwest Ohio. We have included a link to our checklist for high school CCP coordinators below to help with the timeline that we follow when onboarding students.

If you have instructors on your campus who wish to become credentialed as a College Credit Plus instructor with Northwest State Community College, there is a helpful resource below. Questions about the onboarding process for new CCP instructors should be directed to Sandra Manon at smanon@northweststate.edu.

 

Connect with NSCC

The Office of Admissions at NSCC wants to connect with your students. We recognize that it can be difficult to schedule traditional visits with the class schedule, events, delays, and more at the high school level. With this in mind, we have multiple ways to organize a connection with your students. Contact us today if you would be interested in any of the options below.

  • Classroom Visits – An admissions recruiter can schedule a time to come to your school and speak to a class in a specific subject area to address relevant programs offered. We can also come to classrooms and give a general overview of NSCC and the admissions process.
  • Office Hours – An admissions recruiter can come to your school and set aside time to meet with students in an office hour format. All we need is the space and we can take students one at a time to help them with their individual next steps in the NSCC admissions process.
  • NSCC Admissions Information Session – An admissions recruiter can come to your school and do a traditional high school visit where students sign up to come meet with them. The admissions recruiter will do a general overview of NSCC and the admissions process in a formal or informal setting.
  • Virtual Visits – Whether your students are in the building or in a remote learning experience, our admissions recruiters are available to do any of the options above through a virtual modality. Let us know if you would like to set up a classroom Zoom, individual Zoom appointments, a Google meet with your interested group, or any other ways that you have students virtually explore their college opportunities.
