Hello! I'm considering Crafton Hills College as one of my options for a community college. Can anyone guide me through their admissions process? I’m a bit overwhelmed but eager about everything.
Sure, happy to help you out! First off, keep calm and don't stress; the admissions process for Crafton Hills College is more straightforward than typical four-year institutions.
The very first step is to fill out an online application on the California Community Colleges' website, which is a system shared by all community colleges in California. This application will ask you basic personal and academic information. You will also be asked to select your intended major or program of interest.
After submitting your application, you should receive an email from Crafton Hills College providing you with a student ID number and instructions to set up your student portal. This is an important step as your student portal will be where you'll be able to register for classes, check your financial aid status, access your school email, view grades and more.
The next step is to complete the online orientation. This is necessary for all first-time college students and will provide you with key information about college procedures, campus resources, and available student services.
Counselling and educational planning is another crucial part of the process. The counseling services provided will help you navigate and plan your course schedule and degree path based on your personal academic goals. You can usually schedule a meeting with an Academic Advisor virtually or face-to-face to assist you with this planning.
Finally, you'll need to register for your classes. Most likely, this will be done online through the student portal. During open registration, you'll be able to pick the classes and sections that work best for you.
Remember, it's always best to do these tasks as soon as possible to improve the likelihood you'll get the classes you want. Funds and certain classes can be competitive at times, so a proactive approach often pays off.
If you plan on applying for financial aid, make sure to fill out your FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) as soon as possible as this can take some time to process.
Throughout the process, make sure to check your email regularly since Crafton Hills College will communicate important information through this channel.
Good luck with the application process! You're taking a great step forward towards your future education, and I'm sure you'll do great.
