Transitioning to SLCC

After High School Graduation

Step 1 - Complete a new SLCC application

When you started in Concurrent Enrollment, your student information came to SLCC from a state-wide form. Now that you are graduating from high school, we need to update your student record in our student information system (Banner). This is a chance for us to get up-to-date information about you and your academic plans.

Step 2 - Apply for Financial Aid & Scholarships

Financial Aid

Completing a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is required to be eligible for many scholarships. You can complete the FAFSA here: Submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online.

Step 3 - Sign Up For Orientation

During orientation you’ll learn how to register for classes, receive helpful information regarding major and career exploration, and acquire useful tips on what it takes to be a successful college student. To register for an orientation go to Student Orientation.

Step 4 - Complete Placement Testing

The college must have a record of your ACT scores or SLCC Placement Process scores before you can register for classes.

SLCC Placement Process scores: If you took the test at your high school or at a Salt Lake Community College campus, your scores should already be in the system. Math scores must be less than a year old and English scores must be less than two years old.

ACT scores: If you requested that your ACT scores be sent to SLCC when you took the exam, your scores should be on file. If not, have an official copy of your scores sent to SLCC. ACT scores are valid for 18 months.

AP credit: Some AP credit may be used for placement. When you take an AP test, you can request that the scores be sent directly to Salt Lake Community College. If you did not do that, have an official copy of the scores sent from College Board to:

Salt Lake Community College
Transcript Evaluation
P.O. Box 30808
Salt Lake City, UT 84130-0808

Step 5 - Meet with an Academic Advisor

Advisors can assist students to:

• Interpret placement scores, create an educational plan and set up a class schedule,
• Learn about career and major options as well as transfer information,
• Locate resources available at the College

Visit the Academic Advising web page to learn how to schedule an appointment with an advisor online.

Step 6 - Register for Classes

When to Register: Students register according to how many credits they have earned. The more credits you have, the earlier you get to register. To find out when you can register:

2. Select your term.
3. Then click the ‘Registration Status’ This link will tell you what day you can register. It will also tell you if you have any holds that will stop you from registering. If you want the best choice of classes, register as soon as you are eligible.
