What should you expect the first time you meet with an Academic Advisor?

It is that time of year to start thinking about fall registration. CVCC begins registering for fall classes beginning April 9th, that is next Thursday!

If you are a new student to CVCC you may not be familiar with the registration process. That is what I want to cover in this week's post- getting started at CVCC!


Step One:
The first step in getting started at CVCC is to apply for admission online. You can apply here.

Step Two:
After you have applied to CVCC the next step will be to come in and take our placement test. The full test covers both math and English and you will need to take this before you will be able to sign up for fall classes. Here is more information abou the placement test.

Step Three:
Your next step will be to come in and speak to a counselor. At this meeting we will go over your placement test scores and talk about what your academic goals are. We will also set up a schedule that fits your needs and talk about what to expect your first semester in college.

Step Four:

In addition to the steps outlined above you will also want to apply for financial aid. You can apply at the Financial Aid website. You can apply for financial aid once you have applied to CVCC.

If you have any questions about the registration process please feel free to call the Counseling Office at 832-7800. We are taking appointments now and look forward to meeting you soon.
