I'm thinking about applying to Surry Community College but am not sure when the deadline is. Could someone let me know when applications are due, and if there's anything essential I shouldn't miss when applying?
Sure! For community colleges like Surry Community College, the admissions process is often rolling, meaning they accept applications throughout the year until classes are filled up. However, it's always good to submit your application early, as it gives you more time to sort out any additional documents required and make all necessary arrangements.
Here's a quick rundown of the application process:
1. Complete the online application: This is generally free and can be found on the college's website.
2. Submit your transcripts: You need to send your high school and any college transcripts to the admissions office. If you were homeschooled or received a GED, there will be a slightly different process, usually detailed on the college's admissions webpage.
3. Complete any placement testing required: Some community colleges require incoming students to take placement tests in subjects such as English and Math to determine the appropriate level of classes for them. The need for this can depend on your transcript and other factors.
4. Apply for financial aid and scholarships: Fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and inquire about any scholarships the college might offer.
5. Once accepted, you'll be asked to attend an orientation and register for classes: This varies from college to college but generally includes things like a campus tour, meetings with advisers, and some sort of welcome event.
Remember, it's always a good idea to reach out to the admissions office for any specific queries or concerns you have about the application process. Good luck with your application!
