Through the Northfield Community College Collaborative—the NCCC, for short—anyone with a high school diploma or GED can take in-person or online classes through our partnering community colleges in Minnesota. 1-on-1 tutoring, childcare, and other supports are offered at no cost.
What opportunities can the NCCC open up for you? The possibilities are endless!

The most rewarding part of Jennifer’s NCCC experience so far has been getting a scholarship, going to class with friends, meeting new people, and getting support from staff.
