Students Not Seeking a Degree
Or Taking Less Than Five Credits Checklist

SCC offers many programs to help you accomplish your personal and professional goals. If you just want to take a few courses (5 credit hours or less) for professional or personal interest but do not want to earn a degree or certificate, SCC can help.

1. Complete an Application for Admission.

  • Take your completed application to the Assessment Center when you go to take the Academic Skills Assessment (see step 3.) If you are not taking the test, applications can be submitted in person or mailed to the Admissions Office.
  • Applications may be found online in Acrobat Reader (PDF) format, or may be picked up at the Information Desk in the Administration Building.

2. Instructions for students not seeking a degree.

3. Take the Academic Skills Assessment.

  • If you have not completed college-level math or English or plan to take courses that require English or math as a prerequisite, you must take the assessment.
  • If you have completed English and/or math at another college, the full assessment may not be needed; however, proof of the prerequisite (report card or transcript) will be required.
  • Visit the Academic Skills Assessment Web page for hours and more information.

Students who later decide to enter a certificate or degree-granting program are required to complete the Academic Skills Assessment.

4. Complete the Course Registration Form.

  • Bring the completed form to the Registration Office (ADM 1113).
  • Check the college catalog to ensure the required prerequisites or corequisites for the course have been met. All course prerequisites must be met prior to registration.
  • Check the online credit course schedule for course availability.
  • If you completed prerequisite courses at a college other than SCC, you will need to have the transcript or grade card in your admissions file or with you when you register to show proof that you have met that prerequisite (proof of prerequisite).
Meeting with an advisor is not required; however, if you would like help selecting courses and with the registration process, visit the Academic Counseling Web site for hours and contact information to schedue an appointment.

5. Pay tuition and fees in full.
6. Obtain picture ID and parking tags.
7. Buy textbooks.
8. Complete the online orientation for new students.
9. Sign up for SCC Connection.
  • Access your final grades, personal SCC records, and register for upcoming semesters. You must complete one full semester before you can register online.
