If you plan to take eight credits or less and are not seeking a degree or certificate, you can register for classes without completing an application in the following ways:

• Open Registration (In-person)
• Mail-In Registration

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.

There are two options for new student orientation and advising. You are invited to attend a brief orientation at the beginning of your registration appointment. 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. We also recommend an online orientation option available on our website http://www.clark.edu/orientation .

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. If you take nine or more credits, you must meet with an advisor prior to registering. 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. You may also register during Open Registration. Other registration options include:

• Online Registration
• Mail-In Registration (8 credits or less only)
