Contact the admissions office; guidance counselors or career counselors are available to help you with necessary paperwork and find the right classes to meet your educational goals. Program requirements can change, and if you have been away from school for a lengthy period, the courses you previously passed may no longer count toward your degree.
Submit your official high school transcripts and a copy of your SAT or ACT scores. Some colleges might ask you to take a placement test to determine your academic needs. These tests generally apply to math, reading and comprehension placement. Your career counselor will inform you if you need placement testing.
Transfer any official college transcripts from other colleges to the admissions department of your school. These transcripts are useful when planning your learning path; counselors can tell you if any of your previous credits will transfer to the school and if they can be applied toward your degree.
