Dual Enrollment students!
Priority Appointment Registration: (PLEASE NOTE CHANGE!)
The college has found it necessary due to program growth and limited staffing to restrict priority registration appointments to ONLY collegiate high school, early admission and prep students.
Attention all men turning 18!
You must register with the Selective Service within 30 days of your 18th birthday. Register at your local post office or www.sss.gov
Remember, it’s the law! Failure to do so will impact employment, job training and financial aid.
