Hey! I've been looking into applying to Olive Harvey College, but I'm not exactly sure about their admissions process. Can someone fill me in on the steps? Like what documents I'll need to submit and deadlines I should be aware of?
Hello! I'm happy to help you with Olive Harvey College's admissions process. Olive Harvey College is a community college within the City Colleges of Chicago (CCC) system. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of the application process, required documents, and important dates to keep in mind:
1. Application: First, you will need to complete the online application which can be found on the City Colleges of Chicago's website. The application is free of charge, and there is no deadline for applying since Olive Harvey College operates on a rolling admissions basis. However, it's still advisable to apply as early as possible to ensure course availability and schedule preferences.
2. Transcripts: You will need to submit your official high school or GED transcripts. If you have attended any other college(s) or post-secondary institutions, make sure to submit official transcripts from all of them.
3. Placement Tests: Depending on your program of study, you may need to take placement tests in English, math, and/or reading to determine appropriate course placement. You may be exempt from placement testing if you have already completed college-level coursework in English and mathematics or if you received qualifying scores on ACT, SAT, or AP exams.
4. Financial Aid: Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) as early as possible to ensure that you maximize your eligibility for financial aid. Olive Harvey College's school code for the FAFSA is 001650.
5. New Student Orientation: After being admitted, you will be required to attend a New Student Orientation session. During this session, you will receive valuable information about the school’s resources, programs, and support services.
6. Advising and Registration: Following the completion of your New Student Orientation, you will meet with an advisor to discuss your academic goals, develop a program plan, and register for courses.
To stay on track, it's essential to check your City Colleges of Chicago student email regularly for important updates and notifications related to your application and enrollment.
