I'm filling out my first community college application and would like to see a sample to make sure I'm on the right track. Does anyone know where I can find a sample application to look at?
You may not be able to find a complete sample application for a community college because the application forms typically vary by schools. However, most community colleges have online application processes, and their websites provide a step-by-step walkthrough on how to fill out the application. The application usually includes sections on personal information, academic history, and intended course of study.
Here are some generalized aspects you'll typically find on a community college application:
1. Personal Information:
This usually covers your full name, contact details (address, phone number, and email), date of birth, and social security number (if you have one).
2. Academic History:
This section is where you list your high school or any previous college attended, dates attended, honors/awards received, and any other pertinent academic information.
3. Intended Course of Study:
You'll likely have to indicate what type of degree or certificate you're seeking and name your intended program or major.
If you struggle with any part of the application, don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions or student services office at the community college. They can provide guidance throughout the application process. Also, many community colleges even offer workshops offering help with the application, so it's worth seeing if your school does as well. Good luck!
