Steps for Getting Enrolled


  • The first step is to fill out an application for admissions.  You can do this on-line or in person at our admissions office.
  • The second step is to take our assessment test.  All new students must take the assessment test unless they have taken English and Math at another college and can provide a transcript.  We offer two types of assessment testing, the ASSET and the COMPASS.  You can sign up for the test at the admissions office.  The cost for either the ASSET test or the COMPASS test is $15.00.  To see the schedule or to look at some sample questions, enter here.
  • The third step is to contact the Counseling and Career Services office at 360-416-7654 to set up an appointment to attend our New Student Group Registration.  It's that simple!
