I'm interested in attending Isothermal Community College and I'm trying to figure out how to get started with their application process. What do I need to know to apply and is there anything specific I should prepare?
Glad to hear you're considering Isothermal Community College! To start the application process, you'll want to follow these standard steps generally applicable for community colleges.
1. Complete the application: Isothermal Community College has open admissions which means you can apply at any time. The admission application is available on their website. It generally requires basic personal information such as your name, address, and social security number. You'll also have to provide information on your educational background.
2. Request transcripts: Ask your high school to send official transcripts directly to ICC's admissions office. This can usually be done via mail or electronically. If you have attended any other colleges you may also need to send those transcripts.
3. Placement Testing: Once you've submitted your application, you may need to take a placement test unless you have acceptable SAT, ACT, or other college-level coursework scores. This test helps determine what level of Math, English and Reading courses you'll need to start with and helps the school create the best academic plan for you.
4. FAFSA: Don't forget to complete your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). This can grant you access to federal and state grants, work-study funds, and loans. Isothermal's school code for the FAFSA is 002926.
5. Attend the New Student Orientation: Finally, Isothermal mandates an orientation for all new students. This will give you a clear understanding of the campus and the resources available to support your success at the college.
Note: If you're a recent high school graduate or under 18, you may also be required to submit an Immunization Record to the school's health services department.
Remember, it's always a good idea to meet with an advisor who can guide you on the courses you should take according to your academic goals.
Good luck with your application!
