How to get started

1. Apply to SLCC

   • All students are required to apply to SLCC. The online Application for Admission is the fastest and easiest way to apply to the college.

2. Placement Process

   • The Placement Process, ACT or SAT test scores must be recorded on the SLCC system before the student can attend Orientation. See SLCC testing services for more information.

3. All new students must complete a mandatory new student orientation to be eligible to register for courses. Transfer and returning students are also highly encouraged to attend; early participation in orientation will allow students to register up to ten weeks before the open registration period.
