Trying to find out when my community college apps are due!

I’ve been trying to keep track of the due dates for my community college applications, but it seems like each school has its own timeline. How do I find accurate dates for submitting them?

As a general rule of thumb, community colleges operate differently than four-year institutions when it comes to application deadlines. Many community colleges have a form of rolling admissions, where they continue to accept applications until they have filled all seats. However, some do have priority or specific deadlines.

It's important to directly check the website of the community college(s) you're interested in. Look for a section typically labeled "Admissions," "Apply," or "Enrollment" on the website. In this section, you'll likely find information on how and when to submit your application. If the deadline isn't clearly stated, try looking in their FAQ section or even use the website's search function and look up 'application deadline.'

Additionally, community colleges often have multiple start dates. They might have a fall start in August or September, a winter start in January, and even a summer session. Each of these sessions can have different application deadlines, so you should be aware of which session you're interested in.

If you're still unsure, don't hesitate to reach out directly to the admissions office of the college. They can give you accurate information and answer any other questions you might have about the application process.

And remember, even if a college accepts applications on a rolling basis, the earlier you submit your application and other necessary documents, the better. Open classes and financial aid can fill up, so it's to your advantage to apply early.
