Steps to Enroll: Check List of Instructions 

Welcome to South Seattle Community College!

To enroll, please carefully read and follow each step below. We encourage you to apply on the web using our online application.

  • If you need assistance at any time, please contact us.
    Telephone: (206) 764-5300   ~   Fax: (206) 764-7947 
    Email: advisorsouth@sccd.ctc.edu
Step 1: Complete a Financial Aid Application
3 months before quarters start
Telephone (206) 764-5317  Globe southseattle.edu/finaid  Building RS Building Room 53
If you will need financial aid to assist with the cost of tuition and books, you can pick up a financial aid packet from the Financial Aid Office or access the required paperwork on our website (see above). The application information describes eligibility requirements, deadlines, and the process. Our best advice is to plan at least three months before the quarter begins and pay close attention to financial aid application deadlines!
Please note that students are responsible for paying tuition by the due date along with purchasing books by the first day of class if their financial aid eligibility has not been determined.

Step 2: Take a Placement Test
As soon as you are ready
Telephone (206) 764-5349 Globe southseattle.edu/enrolling  Building RS Building Room 76
Contact the Information Desk (in the RS Building) to take the COMPASS or ESL/COMPASS placement test. The cost is $15. You will need:
1. SSCC student identification number from Registration or from Admissions Acceptance e-mail
2. A receipt from the Cashier
3. State-issued picture identification or CURRENT student picture identification.
The results of the test will guide the counselor/advisor in placing you in appropriate classes.
NOTE: You do not have to take an assessment test if you have an official transcript listing college-level English 101 and Math 102 with a grade point of 2.0 or higher.

Step 3: Schedule An Initial 30-Minute Academic Advising Appointment
After test, 2 weeks before quarter start
Telephone (206) 764-5387 Globe southseattle.edu/enrolling building RS Building Information Desk
Call to schedule a 30-minute advising appointment to take place AFTER you complete your placement test.
Advisors must have your test results for this meeting.
If applicable, before you come in for your appointment request a review of previous college credits before meeting with advising staff. This requires filling out a “Transcript Evaluation Request Form” located at the Registration Counter or online.
