Turn NCFCA preparation into college credit.
3 college credits · Confirmed Fall 2026 section · One coordinated plan for NCFCA and COMM 1443
Through Christian Halls, eligible NCFCA students can enroll in Southeastern University’s COMM 1443: Fundamentals of Speech Communication for Fall 2026. Students use the NCFCA curriculum Foundations of Speech (or a curriculum of their choice) as the learning foundation for this course, then adapt existing work — or design future NCFCA work — to meet the specific requirements in the existing COMM 1443 syllabus.
This is a practical “2-for-1” opportunity: the same research, writing, and speech preparation can contribute to both the student’s NCFCA season and the college assessments required by Southeastern University.

Students can use the same research, writing, and practice to advance both their NCFCA preparation and their college assignments.
Adapt existing work or plan future work intentionally
Students may reshape a speech, debate case, research file, or apologetics study they already have. They may also design new NCFCA work, keeping in mind the broad COMM 1443 assessment categories.
Meet the syllabus requirements without starting from zero
The university syllabus remains the standard, and students must satisfy the specific assignments from the syllabus, but the NCFCA materials provide guidance and a framework for their assignments.
Use the NCFCA curriculum as the learning foundation
The NCFCA curriculum, or a similar speech and debate curriculum of your choice, supplies the rhetorical, research, organizational, audience, and delivery instruction students apply to their college work. There are additional books listed in the syllabus, but these are recommended and supplemental only, not required.
Follow an NCFCA-specific roadmap
The Christian Halls companion guide identifies the broadest workable assignments from SEU, recommends the most useful submission format for each assessment that maps onto NCFCA clubs, and shows exactly where existing or future NCFCA work must be adapted.
Earn official college credit
COMM 1443 is an official Southeastern University dual enrollment course worth three credit hours. The Fall 2026 section is confirmed and guaranteed to run.
- One prompt-selection assignment
- Three working outlines
- Three major assessments
- A final reflection
- Preparation and learning activities — provided through the NCFCA curriculum Foundations of Speech, or another curriculum chosen by the student
For a presentation-based major assessment, the required submission is generally a video recording. Major assessments must follow the selected prompt and normally include at least three credible citations. Students choose APA, MLA, or Turabian and use the selected style consistently.
Combination assessments balance a speech with a required reflection or short essay.
Registration requires both Christian Halls setup and an SEU dual enrollment application.
