Instructions: If you have not done so, the following steps must be completed prior to submitting this admission request: 

  1. Apply to North Hennepin Community College
    You must be accepted for admission at NHCC in order to be admitted into the Paralegal Program.
    Applications are available at www.nhcc.edu/apply.
  2. Submit official transcripts
    Students applying for the Paralegal Certificate program must submit an official transcript to verify the conferment of an associate, bachelor, or graduate-level degree if awarded at an institution outside of the Minnesota State College and University system. When placing a transcript order, please enter Records and Registration at NHCC as the recipient of the official transcript. If you already have transcripts on file at NHCC, you do not need to send another official transcript. If you are not sure about which transcripts we have on file, please contact Records and Registration at 763-424-0719 or registration@nhcc.edu.                            Transcripts from colleges and universities within the Minnesota State system are accessed electronically by NHCC, therefore a transcript order is not required for these schools. 
  3. Meet with the Paralegal Program Advisor
    • Current students: Call the Advising Center to schedule your appointment: 763-424-0703 (Request to speak with the Paralegal Advisor)
    • New students: After you complete the online orientation, you will get an email to set up your registration session. You will meet with the advisor during your registration session.
