College, minus the guesswork. Now that's SLCC.
Starting something new can feel like a lot. But we're here to make it a lot less scary.
At SLCC, you can study on campus, online, or a mix of both. You can keep your job while going to school (most of our students do). You can start with a certificate that gets you hired fast, or an associate degree that sends you on to a four-year university. Plenty of students are the first in their family to try college.
No matter where you're headed, at SLCC, you'll find a community of people who get where you're coming from.
Your first five steps
-
Say yes!
Fill out the online application. It's short, it's friendly, and it's the only thing standing between you and the life you want.
-
Claim your MySLCC.
Once you're in, don't hesitate to set up your MySLCC account. It's your all-access pass for registering for classes, checking financial aid, and finding your grades. Think of it as your window into all things SLCC.
-
Find your starting line.
Take the placement assessment so we can match you with the right first classes. There's no pass or fail. It just helps you start where you'll do best.
-
Show up and get connected.
Orientation is where you'll meet your advisor, learn the ropes, and realize just how big your cheering section is. You'll leave knowing where things are and who to ask when you need help.
-
Build your schedule.
This is the fun part! Sit down with an academic advisor, find your pathway, pick your classes, and register. This is the step where it all becomes real, in the best way.
