I'm looking at St. Louis Community College and would like to understand their admission application process. What are the necessary documents I'll need, and how long does it typically take to hear back after applying?
The application process at St. Louis Community College is quite straightforward. Here are the steps you need to follow:
1. Complete the free online application: The first step is to submit an online application on the college's website. This application will ask you basic information like your contact details, education history, intended major, etc.
2. Submit required documents: After the application, you would need to submit your high school transcript or GED records. Transfer students will need to submit transcripts from any previous colleges.
3. Complete placement tests: All new full-time students and some part-time students are required to take placement tests in English and mathematics unless they have similar college-level credit or qualifying ACT/SAT scores.
4. Attend New Student Registration: After the admission process, you will need to attend a New Student Registration session. This session is mandatory before enrolling in classes. You will receive information about this event after your application is processed.
5. Complete FAFSA: If you are a US citizen interested in applying for financial aid, you'll need to fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Now, in regards to when you would hear back, it typically varies. However, most community colleges operate on rolling admissions, which means applications are reviewed as they come in and decisions are sent out regularly. Your best bet would be to apply as early as possible and regularly check for updates on your portal or reach out to the admissions office, if necessary, for an update on your application status.
I hope this helps, and remember to double-check all information on the college's website or with their admissions office to ensure accuracy. Good luck with your application!
