       • From the student's PowerSchool account, go to ND EdPortal by clicking the  icon in the upper right.
       • Once in the EdPortal, click on the tab with student's name to view these tabs.
       • Use the ND College Application tab to complete the NDSCS Application for Admission

       • Once you submit the application your high school transcript will be electronically sent to NDSCS

2. NDSCS Application (if you do not have access to PowerSchool, use this application)

   • Application for Admission

Complete the Course Registration Form

• This form must be signed by both the student and parent/guardian. Return the form to the high school official or email to
  Dawn.Knudson@ndscs.edu

• It is recommended that students have a minimum GPA of 3.0 — Students who request enrollment in Dual Credit who do not have a GPA of 3.0 will be reviewed on an individual basis.
• Attach a copy of ACT scores if taking an English Composition or Math class. If you do not have ACT scores, you will need to schedule a placement test. (Required ACT scores - 18 English and Reading, 21 Math)

NDSCS no longer sends or receives paper copies of the FERPA form. Students will need to complete a FERPA form through the online CampusConnection. Students will not be able to access CampusConnection until they have submitted their application. 

A completed FERPA form will allow NDSCS to speak to parents/guardians/school officials about academic and financial records.
