NCTC's governing board convenes for regular meetings on a monthly basis, normally on the third Monday, and meetings usually begin promptly at 6:00 PM in the Board Conference Room (near the north entrance to the ASC Building, adjacent to the Chancellor's Office).

All regular meetings of the NCTC Board of Regents are open to the public. Persons wishing to address the Board may do so during the "Public Forum" section of the agenda. Persons desiring to speak are asked (but not required) to submit a request to do so in advance. A time limit, usually five minutes but possibly less depending on the number of persons wishing to speak, may be imposed at the discretion of the board chair. In the interest of time, delegations representing a group or organization may be asked to appoint a spokesperson to express their views.
