2. Do I need to see an advisor before registering?
The college does not require you to meet with an academic advisor prior to registration, but it is certainly recommended. Students in Associate of Science and certificate programs should meet with faculty in their respective academic departments because the course selection is very specific. Each academic program is described in the college catalog with all course requirements indicated as well as the prerequisites. Each course is not necessarily offered every semester, so students are encouraged to meet with an Academic Advisor who can help plan course selections.

5. Can I register if I am a Transient student? Can transient students register online?
Transient students are allowed to waive the course placement and prerequisite requirements.Therefore, transient students must have the transient form signed by their home college to verifythe prerequisites are met and that the course will be acceptable in transfer.

8. How long do I have to pay for classes? Do you have online classes? Is there a cost difference?
Each time you register you need to print out your Schedule and Fee Statement. Not only does this show the start date of your classes, it also displays you tuition and fee bill and provides your bill due date. The college does not mail a tuition bill. In most cases students have 10 days to pay or defer the bill, but this collapses to one day as the start date of classes gets closer.The college offers many classes online. Over 25% of students are taking at least one on line class, with many other classes being offered on a 50/50 basis. There is an extra cost of $19.50/credit hour (for 2012-2013) for 100% online classes.
