ADMISSIONS/ENROLLMENT
ORIENTATION
All students enrolling for the rst time at Southwestern Community College are required to participate in an orientation program. The program is designed to acquaint new students with important polices, resources and services that are unique at SCC and provide valuable information needed to facilitate student academic success.
Prior to the start of fall and spring semesters, live orientation sessions are conducted on the Jackson campus. Students taking classes on the Macon Campus have the op- portunity to stop by the Cecil Groves Building from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on the afternoon of orientation. New Student Orientation may also be completed at any point on the college website. Students are not permitted to register for the next semester of classes until they have completed the orientation program, either seat-based or online.
SCC ID CARD STATEMENT
New students are required to obtain an SCC ID Card.
If you are studying at one of our campuses, you can secure your SCC ID card by visiting the Cashier’s Of ce on the Jackson Campus or at the Cecil Groves Center. Bring a photo ID with you.
Online students (typically use the SCC ID card when securing off site testing facilities) can secure an SCC ID card by sending the following information to tholland@southwest- erncc.edu via their SCC student email:
• Full Name
• Student ID #
• Image of themselves (preferably with a white or off-white background). Images can
be of any size or shape but must clearly show the students’ face, free of hats, visors or scarves. Student IDs can only be mailed to the address currently on le.
To update your address, visit: www.southwesterncc.edu/change-name-address-noti cation
Each fall semester you are required to update your SCC ID card. There is no charge as- sociated with this update. If you lose your SCC ID card, a replacement card can be created for you. The cost of the replacement card is $5.
