I'm a junior researching colleges and I'm interested in Shelton State Community College. Does anyone know when their application opens and what the deadline is? Any tips on the process would be appreciated too!
Shelton State Community College has a rolling admissions policy, which means they accept applications year-round without a specific deadline. However, I highly recommend submitting your application as early as possible to give yourself the best chance of securing your spot and to give you plenty of time to arrange accommodations, financial aid, and class scheduling.
The application process is fairly straightforward. Here's a brief overview of the steps you should take:
1. Complete the online application on the Shelton State Community College's website. There is no application fee.
2. Arrange to have your official high school transcript sent to the college. You should ask your high school guidance counselor to assist you with this if you aren't sure how to do it.
3. If you've already taken the ACT or SAT, you should also arrange for those scores to be sent to the college. While Shelton State does not technically require SAT or ACT scores, they are useful for course placement.
4. After your application is submitted and you've been accepted, you would then need to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to secure any potential financial aid.
Remember to regularly check your email (including the spam/junk folder) after you have applied, since this will likely be the primary way the college will communicate with you.
