Welcome to Northwest Vista College! We are excited to have you join us as one of our newest Transfer students. If you are returning to NVC, welcome back!

Click Here For Important Information About Transfer Student Types

The Vista Central: Welcome & Admissions Center serves the following student populations:

New students transferring from a non-Alamo Colleges District college or university
Returning Alamo Colleges District students from any of our five campuses who have not attended classes for more than one year
Visiting (Transient) students seeking to only take classes at NVC for one semester and then transfer those credits back to their home institution

Current NVC students who have been enrolled in classes within the past year will still be considered current students and will need to contact the Main Advising Office.

Students who are currently enrolled at another Alamo College District campus (SAC, PAC, NLC, or SPC) will be considered current students and will contact the Main Advising Office for registration assistance or to be reassigned to an NVC advisor.
