Graduating seniors must complete TWO applications in Spring 2025

2. As a first-time college student for Summer 2025. This will let you sign up for the actual courses you need in the fall after completing the Counseling 095 course.

A student can save money by beginning at a community college and then transferring to a four year college to complete a degree.
