Admissions

Apply online for as many things as you can and save all your logins. Also, when ever you have questions go in person and always try to see the same people. When on campus, speak up...say hi, smile...when the staff learns who you are life is a lot easier! Plus, if you want good parking the first two weeks of class, show up early...dont last minute try to park!!

Go here. It is a good way to start out the beginning of your college career. I would advise coming and getting your AA or BA here (they only offer BAs for certain programs though) and then after that you can easily transfer!

Before you register with a teacher, ask other students about the class and see if you can find people who have already taken the class with the professor. That will help you to make sure that you find the right fit for your learning style. Also, don't wait until the last minute to register, because you may end up in a classroom, on a campus, or with a professor that does not work for you.

use your resources and get to know people in all the major departments, like financial aid. also, get up on time to get adequate parking to be on time for class because most professors do take attendance. if you are planning to sign up for work-study, then fill out the application and fafsa very early so that you get a chance. irsc also offers part-time jobs as an irsc employee that pays more that financial-aid based work-study. students should try to get involved in the student support services program, which helps students with financial aid tips, picking out classes and so on.

The financial aid and academic advising offices become very busy around semester registration dates. Take careful notes and follow up with your advisors to expedite your progress (the advisors will appreciate it)
