DACA students may qualify for in-state tuition. They have to bring documentation of their status to the campus Student Services Center before the first day of class. Students must be in DACA status for one year before they are eligible.

You are encouraged to speak with a counselor before enrolling for classes. A counselor can help you select a major, identify the classes you need to take, get financial aid, evaluate potential careers and more.

  • Walk-in advising is available at any Student Services Center.
  • Students with disabilities can meet with a counselor for accommodations and accessibility services.
  • Confirm your major.
  • Bring an unofficial transcript from every college you have attended.
  • Determine which classes transfer to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ.
  • Verify whether you need to take placement tests.
  • Choose your classes.

Enroll online with SIS. First-time students are encouraged to enroll in SDV 100 or another student development course during their first semester.

Pay online by credit card through SIS. When you enroll for classes, you must pay by the payment deadline. Unpaid classes may be dropped from your schedule.

  • To protect your privacy, instructors may only use a student's official Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ email address.
  • You will receive updates on course changes and other pertinent information through your Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ email account.

Important Notice: Students cannot activate their VCCS student email until they have enrolled for classes. All fees must be paid before students can access their email.
