Enrollment Checklist

ADVISING AND REGISTRATION

Students are our number one priority
at Terra Community College and to make admission and registration as convenient as possible, we have greatly simplified the process. There are essentially only two steps for new students to complete after they have been admitted: advising and registration. Both can usually be completed on a single trip to campus.  Please refer to the Enrollment Checklist.pdf for more information. 

COMPASS Testing

Because we care about your success, we ask you to take an assessment of your reading, writing and math skills as part of the advising process. The state-of-the-art COMPASS test is given via computer so that you can take it at your convenience and is structured so that you can take all the time you need to demonstrate the knowledge and skills you bring with you to Terra.  Sample questions are available at COMPASS.

After you have completed the COMPASS, an appointment will be scheduled with an advisor to help you select the classes that are right for your goals. In most cases, advising can take place immediately after the placement test is completed--right in Admissions & Enrollment Services! The advisor will review your goals and previous work, and help you build the schedule that will work best for you. In addition, if you have questions about financial aid, specialists in this area are available to step you through the process.

Register for Classes

Registration for Spring 2008 begins October 23.

After you have met with an advisor (list of Current Advisor List), use your Student Portal to register for classes.

Advising Roles and Responsibilities

To help you better understand your roles and responsibilities in the advising process, and those of your advisors, please read Terra's statement of Advising Roles and Responsibilities.
