Frequently Asked Questions

  • With Admissions Counselors, you can meet one-on-one with a professional academic advisor. They will provide support and assistance in the following areas:

    • Course selection and registration
    • Educational planning
    • Information about campus support services
    • Explanation of prerequisites/corequisites and graduation requirements
    • Information about your program of study and much more!
    • All students who, after taking the entrance test, place into at least one transitional course (031/032/100).
    • New/Curriculum ready students for all program divisions: Associate of Arts, Associate of Science, Business, Computer Technology, Engineering, and Industrial.
    • All health science students that have NOT completed all zero and 100 level classes.
  • Your Admissions Counselor helps you clarify educational goals, discuss program requirements, course prerequisites, graduation requirements, academic progress, transfer information and much more!

  • You do not have to attend during the summer semester. However, it is important that you check with your counselor before making the decision not to attend. There are some specific programs, particularly in the health field, that require summer attendance. There are also some courses that are only offered during the summer. If you decide not to attend in the summer semester, this may delay your graduation.

  • You must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours to be considered a full-time student.

    Is full-time status necessary?
    You do not have to attend SCC full-time (12 credit hours). However, maintaining a full-time status allows you to earn your degree in a timely manner. We understand if you are unable to attend full-time, but we encourage students to do so whenever possible. Please note there are some financial aid programs and health insurance companies that require students to maintain full-time status.

  • You should visit Admissions Counseling Services to request a program change. This can be done on the Giles Campus or an SCC campus site convenient to you.

  • Self-service provides students with information about financial aid, registration, and progress toward graduation. Login to MySCC Portal and click on Self-Service.
