Admissions

Sign-up for classes and pay tuition as soon as possible to ensure that you can get into the classes that you want. The school will go through and drop students from classes that they have not paid for either on the first day of classes or within the first week.
Also, many of the textbooks can be found on Amazon.com for much cheaper than in the bookstore.

If you're having trouble filling out forms, VHCC offers help to ensure students are doing everything correctly (such as filling out the FASFA form). I've found that it is easier to just go down to the college if needing to speak with someone in Admissions or the Financial Aid office. Otherwise, it'll seem like you're playing phone tag. ALWAYS show up for class, even if you are going to be late. It's a VHCC policy to drop students from a class if they miss three classes in a row. With this warning, don't be surprised if you play hooky three class meetings in a row and finally do decide to go to class, only to find you've been dropped. That would be no fun for you, the professor, the people working in Admissions, and the people working in Financial Aid!
