Steps to Enroll

Enrollment Coaching Appointments

First Time in College, Prior College Experience, or South students re-enrolling in classes after a break can schedule a 30 minute Enrollment Coaching support appointment.

If you complete the survey below our team can help you with your enrollment steps. The survey takes about 5 minutes and will ask some personal questions to help us understand how to best serve you. You do not have to complete this survey to enroll, but is required if you are seeking an Enrollment Coaching support appointment since it allows us to help you access more resources.

Please Note: International students, Running Start, Continuing Education and Career Link students have unique requirements for their enrollment pathways. Please connect with department staff in those areas for further guidance.
