Degree Seeking Students

1. Complete SCC Application for Admission.
   
2. Request that high school transcripts or verification of GED be sent directly to the SCC office of Admissions. If you have taken 15 or more semester hours of college credit, you need not send your high school transcript unless specifically requested by the Office of Admissions.
   
3. All first-time entering freshmen are encouraged to take the ACT and forward their scores to the Admissions Office.  ACT scores will be primarily used for institutional research, academic advising, course placement, and outcomes measurement purposes.  ACT scores may be required before admission to specific degree programs.
   
4. Take the SCC Academic Skills Assessment in Administration Building Room 1204.
   
5. Schedule an appointment to meet with a counselor to register.
   
   • Students who are eventually transferring to a four-year university should make an appointment with an academic counselor in Administration Building Room 1204. 
     
   • Students with the goal of completing a career, Allied Health, or technical program should make an appointment with a vocational counselor in Administration Building Room 1204.
     
   • All first-time students who have never completed college credits and who plan to take 6 credit hours or more (two or more classes) are required to have a counselor's signature in order to enroll. 
     
   • Students taking fewer than 6 hours are encouraged, but not required, to see a counselor.
