FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Registration & Enrollment

You can register for classes through your MySLCC student portal. Detailed tutorials are available to walk you through step-by-step.

The registration start dates for each term are listed in the Academic Calendar based on credits earned and student type.  Log in to your MySLCC student portal to see your specific registration date and time which is viewable under "Registration Status."

You may be blocked by a hold, prerequisite, time conflict, or class capacity issue. The registration error message usually explains the reason. If you're unsure what it means, contact the Registrar's Office at registration@slcc.edu or visit the ORAR Registration webpage here.

Current holds can be found on Student Profile > Register for Classes Card > Register Here > Registration Status.

  • Dropping a class removes it from your schedule, and it does not appear on your transcript (if done by the drop deadline). Any tuition charges for the class are cancelled.
  • Withdrawing happens after the last day to drop and results in a "W" on your transcript. "W" grades do not impact your GPA. Students do not receive tuition refunds when withdrawing from courses. 

Some deadlines are set by policy and cannot be changed, but others may allow an exception. Contact the Registrar's Office at registration@slcc.edu to review your situation.

No, it is a student’s responsibility to drop their classes before the last day to drop on the academic calendar. Sometimes faculty will drop students for not attending at the beginning of each term, so it’s important to attend and participate in each of your classes.

Academic Records & Grades

Program or major changes are submitted by submitting a Major Change Request form on MySLCC and may require advisor approval. For more information on declaring your major click here.

Legal changes require official documentation and are requested using the Personal (legal) Information Change Form available on MySLCC.  Preferred name changes can be updated directly using the My Profile>Personal Information card in MySLCC

Grade changes must be initiated by your instructor. If you believe there is an error, start by contacting your instructor or department if necessary.

Occasionally records may need to be reviewed due to transfers, duplicates, or system updates. Contact the Registrar's Office at records@slcc.edu so staff can investigate and resolve the issue.

A completed Registration Appeal Form, a personal statement and appropriate supportive documentation must be provided. For more information, visit Registration Appeals

Transcripts & Enrollment Verification

You can request official transcripts through the college's transcript ordering system or in person at most SLCC campuses. Official transcripts are validated by the Registrar's Office and are used to transfer to another institution or to confirm your academic history at SLCC.  Unofficial transcripts are intended for personal review and are available for current students in your MySLCC student portal.

  • Please allow up to 5-7 business days for processing of mailed transcripts (including rush processing). More time may be required during peak ordering periods, college closures, and holidays.
  • Electronic transcripts generally transmit within 24 hours.
  • Transcript requests with special instructions, require attachments, or are older than 1990 may require research and could delay the transcript order.

Enrollment verifications can be requested through your student portal or the Registrar's Office and are often used for employers, insurance, or housing.

Transfer Credit

Have your previous institution send official transcripts directly to transferevaluation@slcc.edu then complete SLCC's Transcript Evaluation Form.  Click here for detailed instructions for transferring to SLCC. 

Transfer evaluations are processed in the order received and usually take one week or less.

Not all courses transfer or apply to every program. Transfer decisions are based on your educational goals, course content, level, and institutional policy.

Graduation

College students submit a graduation application and high school students submit the Concurrent Enrollment/Early Enrollment Application for Graduation. It is best to apply early for review of your records by the Graduation Office, so you can be alerted if you have requirements missing.

You can monitor progress towards graduation in DegreeWorks. DegreeWorks will show completed requirements with a green check mark and in-progress requirements with a blue line. Missing requirements will be indicated by a red circle and/or an “Incomplete” note. We recommend cross-referencing requirements with the Academic Catalog for the year associated with your program entry or later if you intentionally moved to a more recent set of requirements. An academic advisor in your program can also assist with understanding requirements and progress.

Degrees are posted after final grades are reviewed, and graduation checks are complete usually within one month after final grades are available. Diplomas are mailed approximately ten weeks after degrees are officially awarded.

Privacy, FERPA & Policies

Student records are protected by FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). Only you and authorized school officials can access your records unless you provide written permission.

Not without your consent. You may setup a FERPA Proxy for your parent, spouse, or another third party if you want to grant them access to your education records.
