Home-Schooled New Student Checklist

SCC welcomes home-schooled students. Whether you are looking to supplement your home school curriculum, or enroll as a student, SCC's course offerings will meet your needs!

If you are currently enrolled in your high school curriculum, you will be limited to a maximum of 6 credit hours per semester. Enrollment in physical education activity and developmental courses are not allowed unless special permission has been obtained from the vice president of academic and student affairs.
