Students are required to turn in an Enrollment Verification Form (EVF) each quarter, signed by their high school counselor and a parent/guardian.  This is important because this is the form that reduces tuition. 

Note:  You can register for your classes before you submit your EVF.  It’s important that you register on your enrollment date/time for best class selections.

Review your remaining enrollment requirements at the Welcome Center with an Entry Services staff member and ask any questions to clarify the process.

Visit their virtual Zoom support center or schedule an appointment by emailing start@clark.edu.
