Application for Admission

Applying for Admission is Step 1 in the Get Started Guide

Your future starts now! Your first step is to fill out our free application. Most students will use our Standard Application, although there is a separate application for College Credit Plus students and other groups. Follow the Get Started Guide for an overview of the entire process, including financial aid and orientation.

Feel free to Contact Admissions if you need help! We'll see you at your first class.
