Your Remaining SVCC Admissions Steps

To have a smooth start to your academic journey at SVCC, please take a look at the following Admissions Steps:

 

 

Complete your Direct Enrollment Questionnaire by logging in with your MySVCC username and password. This brief, 3-5 minute survey will help determine your most appropriate English and math placement and first semester courses. (If you have already completed the Direct Enrollment Survey or other placement requirements, please move forward to the next admissions steps listed below.) 

 


Clear Your Student Account Holds

If you have holds on your account, it can impact your enrollment process. 

Addressing holds promptly is crucial to ensuring a seamless admissions process and transition into college life. It's common for holds to arise due to outstanding documents, fees, or other requirements that need attention before you can proceed with enrollment or access certain services.

Our staff is here to assist you in navigating through this process and ensuring that you can fully engage in your academic journey without any hindrances.

For assistance with your holds, please contact your College Navigator
