The following students may skip steps 2-4:

NOTE: We encourage all new Sacramento City College students to complete all five steps.

Step 1: Admission/Application


Where
Admission applications are available at the Admissions Office, Rodda North Building, Room 159, the Counseling Center, Room 147, or the Welcome Center, Room 138.

You are eligible for admissions if:

  1. you have earned a high school diploma or the equivalent (such as a GED or certificate of proficiency issued by the State Board of Education) or
  2. you are over 18 years old (a high school diploma or equivalent is not required).

Other Steps

Step 2: Assessment

To assist students in selecting courses, the Assessment Center provides testing for English/English as a Second Language, reading and mathematics. These tests are scheduled regularly with no fee. Students can meet with a counselor to review assessment results and schedule appropriate classes. Also, examinations to meet reading and math competencies for the Associate Degree are administered by the Assessment Center.

Where
The Assessment Center is located in the Student Services Building, Room 121. Assessment calendars with test dates and times are available at the Assessment Center or you can call the center at 558-2541. Office hours are 8:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., Monday - Thursday and 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. on Friday.

Other Steps

Step 3: Orientation

Orientation provides you with important information about the college, programs and services available, what is expected of you, and what you can expect of the college. All new students are strongly encouraged to attend orientation. The information you receive will help you during your time at SCC. Students who attend orientation will receive priority registration.

Where
Orientation appointments can be made by calling 558-2147/2148 or made in person at Rodda North Building, Room 155.

Other Steps

Step 4: Counseling

As part of the orientation process, you will meet with a Counselor to discuss your major, educational goals, courses required, and develop a course plan. You should maintain a close relationship with your counselor throughout your stay at SCC.

Where
The Counseling Center is located in Rodda North Building, Room 147. For additional information or a counseling appointment, call 558-2204. Office hours are 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 p.m., Monday - Thursday and 7:30 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. on Friday.
