Steps to Starting School
- Submit an Application
for Admission
First-time students
All students must complete a Student Record form.
If you will be full-time, receiving financial
aid, or pursuing a degree or certificate program, you must submit an Application
for Admission. If you are taking less than 12 credits per term
and/or NOT pursuing a degree, you are required to complete only
a Student Record form.
Transfer Students
If you are transferring to Southwestern and plan
to complete a degree and/or receive financial aid, you must complete
the application process and have official transcripts from all colleges
previously attended sent to Southwestern's Transcript Evaluator. Click

International Student
Admission

federal immigration and
college requirements before being admitted to Southwestern. Click

course,
program of study, or training opportunity. Restricted-entry courses,
programs, or
training opportunities include Culinary Arts, Nursing, Perioperative
Nursing, Pharmacy Technician, Surgical Technology, Nursing Assistant,
Medication Aide, Emergency Medical Technician. These programs may require

Degree seeking students must declare a major either on the
Application for Admission or with Educational Support Programs and
Services (ESPS). If you wish to change your declared major, you must
go to ESPS and complete a Major Change form.
Note: For graduation and class scheduling purposes students need to use the
catalog year in which they declare the major.
- Take a Placement Test
The placement test determines your entry levels for reading, writing and math.

or have recent ACT or SAT scores, check with Educational Support Programs in
Stensland Hall. Click here for
more specific information about testing.
- Student Housing

to live in housing for your freshman year. Prospective

school year to live in housing. Pre-approved

- Make an appointment with a Counselor or Advisor
Before attempting to register, a student must see an advisor. The advisor
will
discuss your educational goals with you and help you
set up your class schedule. You may make an appointment
to see a counselor or be assigned an advisor at Educational Support Programs
and Services (ESPS) in Stensland Hall. If you are unsure of your educational
goals, you can get help from counselors to determine a college major and
career goal. Note: Students must meet with their advisors each term they attend, to be approved
to register for the following term.
