You must complete an application for admission prior to applying for financial aid. The Financial Aid Office cannot process your file until the Admissions Office has received your application. Visit the Financial Aid section of this web site for financial aid application instructions and deadlines.

All new students without prior college experience are expected to attend an orientation session.  The information provided at orientation will make your experience at Clark College more successful. During the orientation, you will learn registration policies and procedures, how to register online, advising, degree requirements, and other student resources at Clark.  At the end of orientation, you will be able to register for classes.  Space is limited, so sign-up for a session as soon as you have completed the application process. 

You must complete placement testing prior to registering for any courses in math or English. Call the Placement Testing Office to schedule an appointment.

Academic advisors are there to help you define your educational goals and select classes required to complete your degree or certificate. Students are required to meet with an advisor based on the number of accumulated credits.  Visit or call the Advising Center to schedule an appointment. During registration periods, the center serves students on a walk-in basis.

If you completed an application by the priority admissions deadline, you will be mailed a registration access date/time. Access dates/times are based on application date.  Please note all new incoming students must be advised before they can register for classes.
