Has anyone completed the online application for Salt Lake Community College? I'm trying to figure out what information and documents I'll need before I start, and if there are any specific challenges I should be aware of.
Applying to Salt Lake Community College online is quite straightforward. However, it's good to be prepared with all the necessary information:
1. Personal information: This includes your legal full name, mailing address, email address, Social Security Number (if applicable), and birth date.
2. Academic History: Be prepared to provide details about your high school and any previous colleges you've attended (if any). This includes the name of the institutions, dates of attendance, and any degrees you may have earned.
3. High School Transcripts: While not always required for community college applications, it's best to have your high school transcripts readily available. If you've attended any college before, you should have those transcripts as well.
4. Course Selection: Have a good idea of the degree or certificate program you're interested in as you may need to indicate this on your application.
Remember, every college application process may have unique aspects, so here are some Salt Lake Community College specific pointers:
1. Residency: If you're a Utah resident, you may be required to provide proof of residence for tuition purposes.
2. Non-traditional applicants: If you did not complete high school or don't have any previously earned college credits, you might be asked to complete placement tests (usually in Math and English).
3. Apply for Financial Aid: If you plan to apply for financial aid, begin your Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process. Salt Lake Community College's FAFSA code is 005220.
4. Activate your MySLCC account: After your application is accepted, you'll get access to MySLCC where you can register for classes, check your student email, accept financial aid awards, pay tuition, and more.
Prepare these things ahead of time and expect the overall process to take around 1 to 2 hours. Keep in mind that depending on the time you submit your application, it can take a couple of days to a few weeks for your application to be processed. The earlier you apply, the better, especially if you're considering programs or courses that are likely to fill up quickly. Good luck!
