10 Tips
Choosing a college will involve keeping track of lots of different kinds of documents. Staying organized will help you stay on target, meet deadlines and fill out all the forms that you need to do in order to get accepted. The best way to stay organized is to buy a file folder.
If you know the kind of job your interested in having after graduation, check the college’s website to see if they offer training for those types of jobs. If you’re not sure what you want to study, take the time to meet with an admissions counselor.
College tuition costs vary widely and you should always assume your eligible for financial aid. Don’t rule yourself out because of grades or your family’s income! Start by completing the FAFSA.
Being accredited means that many of the credits you earn at that college should transfer to another college if you move or decide to change. It’s critical to make sure the college you plan to attend is accredited.
Whether big or small, some campuses are laid-back and some are more buttoned down. What kind of atmosphere do you like? Schedule a tour of the campus and walk around. You’ll be spending an incredible amount of time there, so make sure it’s someplace you like.

Visiting a college campus is very exciting. But with all of the excitement you may forget to ask some very important questions. Keep them together in your “college bound” folder! Before you visit write down the questions that you want to ask. As you tour the campus, write down any more questions. Get a phone number and e-mail address of someone in admissions.

Today’s college students have very full lives and college campuses are changing to offer options that work with busy schedules. Many colleges offer flexible class schedules such as classes in the daytime, in the evening and online. Make sure the classes you have to take are offered at times when you can take them and at the location convenient for you.

College is a lot different than high school, and sometimes new students struggle with new classes and new experiences. Ask the college admissions center to explain the different types of campus resources available to help you succeed just in case you need a little extra help (we can all use it sometimes).

College is more than just attending classes and doing homework. It’s also a place where you will make friends, experience new things and have fun. Whether it’s sports, theater, community service or club activities, make sure the college you choose to attend offers opportunities for you to get involved beyond the classroom.

Earning your college degree is a great accomplishment. But then what? When you visit the campus or talk with an admissions counselor ask what services are available to help you begin your career after you graduate. Find out if their graduates get jobs!

Residency for Tuition and Fee Purposes

SCC is required by State law to determine the residency classification of all applicants. The initial determination of residency status is made at the time of admission to the College. The determination made at that time and any determination made thereafter prevails for each subsequent semester until information becomes available that would impact the existing residency status and the determination is successfully challenged. The burden of proof resides with the student to show evidence as deemed necessary to establish residency status.

Inquiries and Appeals

Inquiries regarding residency requirements and residency determinations should be directed to the SCC Admissions Center, PO Box 4386, Spartanburg SC 2936. Call (864) 592-4800 or toll-free (866) 591-3700.

Individuals seeking to appeal their residency status must complete the Application for Reclassification of Residency Status form and submit all supporting documentation to the SCC Admissions Center at least one week prior to the first day of class for which a change in status is requested. For additional information concerning SCC’s residency policy please refer to Frequently Asked Questions and the SCC College Catalog.
