I'm interested in attending Owens Community College after I graduate. Can anyone outline the application process for me? Any tips on deadlines or what materials I'll need to prepare would also be super helpful. Thanks!
Here's a breakdown of the application process for Owens Community College:
1. Online Application: You will need to complete the online application form. This can be accessed on Owens Community College's official website. The application form will ask for your basic personal information, high school details, and proposed program of study.
2. Transcripts: You should arrange to have your official high school transcripts sent to Owens Community College. If you've taken any college level coursework you'll also need to supply official college transcripts.
3. ACT/SAT Scores (Optional): This step isn't mandatory, but if you've taken the SAT or ACT, you may consider including your scores. Owens uses these scores for placement purposes only. They help gauge your preparedness for college-level work and determine if you need remedial courses before starting your intended study.
4. Complete Testing: Unless exempted, you'll need to take a placement assessment. This is meant to help counselors advise you on the appropriate courses to take in your first semester.
5. Financial Aid: Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as soon as possible to determine your eligibility for financial aid. Owens Community College's Federal School Code is 004861.
6. Attend Orientation: Once you've completed the application, you should schedule an appointment for an orientation session. This will introduce you to the campus, available resources, important policies, and the registration process.
The priority deadline to apply for financial aid is March 1, but applications remain open after this date. As for course registration, the sooner you apply and complete your admission file, the more likely you'll be to get into your desired classes.
Best of luck with your application process!
