Current Students
The Northwest Vista College community wants you to succeed as a student. Vista employees, students and alumni are ready to help you achieve your goals, whether you want to take one class for professional development, complete a degree or certificate or enjoy an enrichment class like cooking or yoga. There are many benefits that come from your enrollment. You can exercise at the fitness center at a reduced rate, visit several San Antonio museums free of charge and study or relax at the Cyber Café by the lake.
While you’re here, we encourage you to experience college beyond the classroom. Student Life can be so much more fun if you join a club or an organization, participate in recreation sports or take on student leadership opportunities. We hope you enjoy being part of Vista!

The Summer Momentum Plan (SMP) makes it easier than ever to advance your education over the summer by covering required tuition and fees for 3 to 9 credit hours. The free credits can be applied to any Summer 2025 semester term and must be used for courses that are part of your degree plan or certificate program. After all other financial aid resources have been applied, SMP credits will automatically be applied to eligible students' accounts. Take advantage of this opportunity to accelerate your progress and achieve your goals while saving money with the Summer Momentum Plan! |
