Empower your educational path!
Npowered is a comprehensive support program designed to empower students enrolled in developmental education courses to succeed at Normandale and beyond. By providing you with professional guidance, peer mentorship, and necessary tools, we help you build the foundational skills and confidence you need to achieve your academic and personal goals.
Successful completion of the semester-long program earns you a $200 campus store or bookstore voucher, along with other benefits.
To be eligible to join the Npowered Program, you must be eligible to enroll in one of these courses for Fall 2026 and be willing to enroll in the paired NCC1000 Path to College Success class:
To join the Npowered program, Fall 2026 participants are required to:
Self-register for ONE of these learning communities. You will need to place both classes in your cart:
Meet weekly with their assigned Peer Mentor (virtually or in person)
Engage with other campus resources and events (check in with your advisor, tutoring sessions, workshops, campus events) at least ten times during the semester.
These requirements help participants increase their academic skills and self-knowledge, learn to better navigate college, and build community and confidence.
In addition to guidance, mentorship, and community, Npowered participants receive:
“NPowered offered me emotional support, connections, opportunities, and most importantly a safe space to be myself. . . . NPowered helped me to succeed my first year here at Normandale.”
