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.

Placement testing is required before you can register for any course with a prerequisite of math or English, or that has a specific Reading assessment requirement.  The COMPASS exam is offered on a walk-in basis, Monday-Friday.  For current testing hours, please visit the Assessment Centerwebpage. If you have already completed math or English at your previous institution, you do not need to take the placement exam if your previous school meets transferability requirements and you have submitted an official transcript to the Welcome Center-Admissions Office.

Academic advisors are here to help you define your educational goals and select classes required to complete your degree or certificate.  All incoming students are required to meet with an advisor their first quarter, then at specific intervals based on 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 complete an application by the admissions deadline, you will be emailed a registration access date/time. Your registration access date/time will be based on the date your application was received.  Please note you will need your student ID (SID) number and a registration PIN before you can utilize the online registration option.  Plan early to meet with an advisor to avoid a delay in your registration opportunity.
