hOW DO I START?
It is best for you to apply for admission at least 60-90 days before the quarter starts in order to gain
an early registration access date/time. There is no application fee. Computers are available outside
of Enrollment Services for new students to use to apply for admission.
It is necessary to apply for admission in order to register. Students who are admitted early generally
receive priority in registration. Walk-in students will be delayed if they have not yet applied, taken
our placement test, completed orientation, met with an advisor, or if the classes they want are full.
PLACEMENT TESTING REQUIREMENTS
Placement testing is required of all students taking more than 7 credits and/or taking classes with
Math and/or English prerequisites. This is not a pass or fail test. The assessment helps you and your
advisor select the right level of courses. See the testing schedule on this page.
WhEN DO I hAvE TO PAy?
You are expected to pay within five working days of your registration or before the last business day
before the beginning of the quarter, whichever comes first. Once classes begin, payment is
due immediately. The College reserves the option to drop or bill unpaid students. Students who are
receiving financial aid, a scholarship, or third-party payment must make prior arrangements with
the Financial Aid and Cashiers Office in order to avoid being dropped or billed.
IS FINANCIAL AID AvAILAbLE? OR A PAyMENT PLAN?
Please read the description about tuition, fees and payment on page 9 very carefully. If you feel you
need assistance to pay for your college costs, contact our Financial Aid Office immediately, or go to
www.everettcc.edu/sfs for information about grants, loans, and scholarships. Please apply for aid
early. You may complete the federal financial aid application form online - go to www.fafsa.ed.gov
Need a payment plan? You may submit an application for our “20-40 Plan” which sets payment
deadlines as follows: 50% by the regular deadline and the remaining amount split between payments
by the 20th calendar day and by the 40th calendar day. Go to the Cashiers Office for the “20-40
Plan” application after you register. You do not need to be eligible for financial aid to participate.
