Application Timelines
NSCCT processing times vary by licensing pathway.
Estimated processing times begin when NSCCT receives a complete application and end when a registration decision is issued.
Example:
- An application is submitted on May 1, and NSCCT receives the university transcript from a non-approved program on May 30.
- The applicant can expect a registration decision by July 15.
Processing times are estimates and may change. If an application is expected to take longer than estimated, NSCCT will notify the applicant.
