About Structured Schedules At NCC
NCC developed structured schedules to help students reach their educational goals in the shortest amount of time. Part of the college’s Guided Pathways initiative, the structured schedules illustrate a seamless path students will take from enrollment to program completion. Students will also be able to anticipate program milestones ahead of time, such as internships and capstone courses.
Structured schedules also offer predictability. As many students work and support families, having a stable class schedule can assist students in planning their work schedule, childcare arrangement, and transportation.
