New To SCC

SCC is Your Place to ROAR!

When it comes to starting college, selecting a degree, and registering for courses you might have a few questions. We are here to help you get started at Cougar ROAR (Registration, Orientation, Advising, and Resources).

Cougar ROAR is the time you'll work with campus experts to register for SCC college courses, prepare for your first semester, and meet other SCC students! ROAR is a one-day experience over the summer for new SCC students starting classes in Fall 2024 - classes begin in August. More information about orientation will be sent out in March. Before you attend your orientation date, complete the steps below.

Parent/Family members: Family members are welcome to join students (limit is 2 family members per student). During this time we will be working directly with the student to answer questions and help them prepare for getting started in their courses. We will be hosting sessions specifically for family members about Financial Aid, degree programs, and supporting your student at SCC.

Follow these steps to prepare for Cougar ROAR at SCC!

Step 1: Login to your mySCC Portal and Email
After you have applied for admission.
  • Locate your username/password in your "Welcome to SCC" email from Admissions.
  • Login to your mySCC Portal -> Scroll down past the announcements to MyCougar Mail on the left-hand side -> Click on “Office 365”
  • Save your login information as note or contact in your phone – you will use this when meeting with an advisor.
  • We encourage you to setup your SCC Email (ending @my.stchas.edu) on your phone so you don't miss a thing. In order to keep yoru information secure, we will start communicating with that email regularly.

If you have difficulty accessing your student account, please contact our IT Service Desk at 636-922-8555 or servicedesk@stchas.edu.

If you have not yet signed into your account because you cannot locate your "Welcome to SCC" email, check your spam or junk folder. You can also email admissions@stchas.edu so they can resend it.

Step 2: Submit Transcripts and College Credit
  • Request your Official High School Transcript and scores obtained for AP, CLEP, ACT, HiSET, etc. be sent to enrollment@stchas.edu for processing. Your high school should send this information for it to be considered official. Transcripts sent to us by students are considered unofficial.

  • Request Advanced Placement(AP) or CLEP scores be sent to enrollment@stchas.edu from your SCC email. We recommend students download their score report or screenshot their scores and send to us. Unoffocial copies are sufficient.

  • If you are receiving college credit, ask for that college to send your final Official Transcript directly to SCC. For advising purposes, unofficial transcripts can be used for helping to determine what classes you may receive credit. Unofficial transcripts can be sent to enrollment@stchas.edu from your SCC email.
    • Request for Evaluation of Transfer Credit. Transcripts sent to SCC will not be automatically reviewed for transfer credit.
    • Sign into your mySCC Portal -> scroll down to Quick Links (on right-hand side) -> select eForms -> select Forms -> Select "Request for Evaluation of Transfer Credit" (you can use the search bar at the top) -> complete the required information and click submit. (Direct link to form.)
    • You will receive a transfer evaluation report via your SCC email indicating how the courses were accepted. Please allow two weeks for an evaluation from the time the transcripts are received by SCC.
Step 3: Take the Placement Test

All students must take a Placement Test at the SCC Assessment Center in order to receive their initial placement into Math, English, and/or Reading courses. The Placement Test should be completed at least 5 days before your session, so results are available. Students can have their placement determined by providing ACT scores and high school transcripts (graduation within past 3 years).

  • Contact Admissions for information about taking the Placement Test admissions@stchas.edu.
  • ACT scores can be sent to enrollment@stchas.edu from your SCC email. ACT scores are not included on high school transcripts. You can take a screenshot of your ACT scores from ACT.org and email them to us, but they must include your name and scores for each subsection (ie. Math, English, Reading).
  • Request that your high school send transcripts to enrollment@stchas.edu.

Step 4: Apply for Financial Aid and Scholarships
  1. Complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) at studentaid.gov by the deadline to see if you are eligible for any financial aid. SCC’s code is 017027. Be sure to check out these video tutorials offered about the Financial Aid Process at SCC.
  2. Monitor your FA Checklist and SCC email for updates from Financial Aid
    • Login to mySCC Portal -> scroll down to "SCC Connection" -> click on "Student" -> click on "Financial Aid" -> click on "FA checklist".
