OVERVIEW: The NPC public website at www.npc.edu is vital to current and potential students because it contains the only online application form, online class registration form, descriptions of the programs and classes offered, access to some NPC library services, news and announcements, emergency alerts and more. Functionality of the site has degraded over time and no major site-wide redesign has been done since 2010. The current website is built using Drupal 6 software which has reached end-of-support status for security updates.
The latest version of Drupal 8 contains many new and improved functionalities that will greatly enhance NPC's public website. The most significant improvement is the ability to make the entire website mobile friendly. The rebuild will improve NPC's page rankings in Google search results, an important factor when current and potential students are searching for colleges and programs.
