Northland Pioneer College is a two-year commuter community college located in the heart of the Southwest, where the Colorado Plateau meets the White Mountains of northeastern Arizona. The lake-studded mountains provide ample opportunity for outdoor recreation, and the desert mesas feature wide-open, tranquil landscapes.
Northland Pioneer College offers classes at four campuses and five centre locations across Navajo and Apache counties. Our service area includes the tribal homelands of the Navajo, Hopi, and Apache peoples. NPC is a two-year, HLC accredited public community college, serving about 7,000 students annually in a wide range of courses and programs.
Northland Pioneer College’s CIS Department guides you through the necessary competencies for the national industry standards CompTIA certification examinations. (A+ test part 1 & 2, Network+, Linux+, and Security+).
In the A+ classes, you’ll learn about IRQs, direct memory access and practical computer repair, including the basics of installing and repairing hard drives, modems, network cards, CPUs, power supplies, PDAs and printers.
All certification courses offer the hands-on practice of the essential knowledge needed for the entry-level information technology professional.
Students attend Northland Pioneer College for many different reasons. While some students take classes just for fun or to brush up on skills, many students are pursuing associate degrees or Certificates of Applied Science or Proficiency with the college.
A few things to know about degrees and certificates at NPC:
- NPC uses a computerized degree audit system. The degree audit lets the adviser show you exactly what courses are required for any degree NPC offers. It also allows the adviser to show you how many credits you have already accumulated that will apply to your degree intention.
- When you meet with your adviser to begin a degree or certificate program, the adviser will send a degree notification to the Registrar. Make sure to let your adviser know if you are applying for Financial Aid. One of the requirements for receiving federal financial aid (Pell Grant) is that you are pursuing a degree. If you are applying for financial aid, your adviser will also need to send your degree notification to the NPC Financial Aid Office.
- All students pursuing a degree or certificate of Applied Science need to participate in the NPC placement system. We use your high school grade-point average or a computer placement instrument to determine where you begin in Math, English and General Education courses. Please contact your adviser for more information regarding the NPC placement process.
- You may change your degree plan with the college whenever you like. You should realize, however, that if you do change your degree plan, some of the courses you have already taken may not apply to your new degree. For degree options at NPC and what courses are involved with each, check with your adviser or the NPC College Catalog.
- Your adviser can give you a copy of your degree plan. Put your plan in a safe place – you can use it to fill in classes you have completed and track your progress toward graduation! Be sure to see your adviser every semester to keep up-to-date on any degree/certificate program changes.
