Getting Started is Easy!

If you have never been an SCC student, you must complete an Application for Admissions and the Class Add/Drop form. Current SCC students may register online. There are no prerequisites to getting started with CPT 107: A+ (Computer Repair and Maintenance), CPC 170: CCNA1, CPC 125: Windows Desktop Operating Systems, or CPC 180: UNIX for Networking.

You may pick and choose specific class sequences as you work towards certifications. However, if you plan to earn a degree, please visit our counseling department early in your training.

If you have further questions, contact Mike Fuszner via e-mail at mfuszner@stchas.edu to set up a time to meet. You'll have a chance to talk about your background, experience, goals, take a brief tour, and prepare to sign-up for classes if the program fits your educational needs.

Some classes fill up quickly. Students register on a first-come, first-served basis. It is suggested that you register as soon as registration opens up each semester. Spring registration usually begins in late October; fall and summer registration usually begin in early April.
