Getting Started

The DRC can help students with disabilities with the College’s application, admission and enrollment process and with applications for financial aid.  We provide interpreters or the other accommodations to ensure that prospective students gain complete access to college services and functions.  If you are visually impaired, we can arrange for a tour so you can familiarize yourself with the campus.  Please contact the DRC prior to your visit so we can arrange for assistance.

Each new student is strongly encouraged to consider these six steps to success:

1. Attend a New Student Orientation.  This orientation will cover general college information, such as; how to choose a major and registering for classes.  Students can sign up for an orientation by calling 801-957-4978.  The Online Quick Connect Orientation is another good way to get started at SLCC.

2. Take the Accuplacer test (also known as the CPT), before they register for classes.  This test is used by the college to assess placement into basic English and Math classes.  This allows for the most suitable placement and helps the student avoid selecting over-demanding or under-challenging classes.

3. Visit with an Academic Advisor to discuss your program of study before you register for classes.  Academic Advisors will answer questions regarding curriculum and academic requirements.  Students who are unsure about their majors can also get assistance with career advising.

4. Enroll in LE 1020, Essentials of College Study, a course offered by the College.  This course provides an introduction to and the opportunity for, practicing many skills necessary for success in college courses.

5. Sign up for our free Student Success Workshops which can assist you to improve your concentration, develop study habits, improve memory, test-taking, notetaking and research abilities.  Workshops are available throughout the semester, free of charge.  Students can register by calling 801-957-6050.
