I want to apply to Excelsior Community College but I'm a little confused about their application form requirements. Can anyone clarify what I need to do?
Sure, I can help clarify. When applying to Excelsior Community College, you will typically need to fill out their application in full, provide your transcripts from high school and any other colleges you've attended, and pay the application fee, unless you're eligible for a waiver.
The application is going to request personal information including your name, contact details, citizenship, and potentially some demographic information. It's crucial to fill in all parts of the form.
Academic information like your high school GPA, course listings, and any standardized test scores should also be included. If you've taken any college-level coursework, you'll need to mention this and provide those transcripts as well. As for the high school transcript, reach out to your high school's guidance office and they can send it directly to the college.
Notably, each program may have additional requirements, so make sure to review the prerequisites for your intended program. Some might require letters of recommendation, an audition or portfolio, or an essay. It's crucial to read all the application instructions for your desired major.
Lastly, if the application fee is a hardship, you can contact the admissions office about a waiver or use an app like Appily to find scholarships that could help offset the cost.
One important note is that process can vary across community colleges, so it would be best to contact Excelsior Community College's admissions office directly for the most accurate information. They're there to help you navigate this process—don't hesitate to utilize that resource!
