Applying to St. Louis Community College?

I'm planning to submit my application to St. Louis Community College soon. For those who've applied before, how was the process? Any specific documents or steps I should keep an eye on?

The application process for St. Louis Community College is straightforward and user-friendly, but you should still plan to be thorough. It's helpful to prepare some required materials in advance.

First, you'll need to complete the online application, where you'll provide basic personal and academic information. You'll also list your desired major and start term.

Documents you'll likely need include your high school transcript or GED certificate. You'll also need your SAT or ACT scores if you took either of these tests. However, they aren't typically required for admission to community colleges.

After submitting your application, you'll need to take the placement test unless you have qualifying ACT or SAT scores to waive it. This compulsory test helps determine your appropriate course level, particularly in Mathematics and English courses.

You'll probably also have to attend a mandatory orientation session before you can register for classes. The orientation provides important information about campus resources, student life, and academic expectations.

Lastly, all students applying for St. Louis Community College are required to apply for financial aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Even if you think you might not qualify for aid, it's still worthwhile to submit this application because it opens up possibilities for work-study opportunities and loans.

Generally, the process is quite intuitive, but don't hesitate to reach out to the admissions office if you're unsure about anything or need help with your application.

Be sure to keep track of all deadlines and double-check your application for accuracy before submission. Good luck!
