Students must attend all lab dates to complete the class as there are no make-up sessions. Lab manuals may be ordered from the NDSCS-Wahpeton Bookstore at www.ndscsbooks.com.

If you are a returning NDSCS student and have had a break in your NDSCS enrollment for one semester or more, complete the Admission Re-Application Form and send it to Enrollment Services to reactivate your NDSCS student record. Please allow at least two weeks to complete the application process. NOTE: Official transcripts from high school (or GED) and colleges must be received before students can register for classes.

subject to change without notice. Tuition and fees exclude books, supplies, and additional course and program fees. NOTE: Courses listed that are not taught online will be charged based upon student’s state of residency.
Books:Purchase your textbooks at www.ndscsbooks.com. Some classes also require an access code or a CD which is bundled with the books from our Bookstore for NDSCS classes. Books purchased from another source may not have the correct access code or CD and students may need to purchase the additional item separately.
