Applying for College does not need to be a chore. Just follow these steps and you will be on your way to earning your college degree.
Step 1: Apply: Complete an application for admission and submit it to the college along with a $20 admission fee.
Step 2: Transcripts: Submit a copy of your high school transcript or GED certificate. If you are transferring from another college, you will need to submit a transcript from any other college you have attended.
Step 3: Financial Aid: All students who plan on applying for financial aid need to fill out the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) which is available in the Student Services Office. Students can also fill out the FAFSA online at www.fafsa.ed.gov To speak with a Financial Aid Counselor, stop by the student services office in C106 or call (419) 267-1389 or (419) 267-1333 or (419) 267-1438.
