Several Northcentral Technical College (NTC) programs require pre-requisite courses to be completed prior to enrolling in program-specific courses. Previously called “petition” or “petitioning,” beginning in the Spring 2024 semester this process will now be referred to as “declaration.”

Declaration only happens during specific times during the year, but applications are accepted for programs with declaration requirements at any time. When you are ready to get started in program-specific courses and have met declaration pre-requisites, you will declare and follow the process for your program to determine admittance to program classes.

Northcentral Technical College (NTC) may accept different types of students: full-time, part-time, those studying on campus, off campus, or through other methods. To be admitted, students need to meet the general requirements of the College and the specific program requirements they wish to complete.
