New Student Class Planning

Creating an academic plan is a state mandated requirement of all students who are new to college, or attended only while in high school, and who plan to earn a Certificate, Associate Degree, or transfer to a four-year college. Please note: It may take up to 48 hours after you apply to SBCC to be able to register for a Class Planning session.

New Student Class Planning Sessions will help you develop a first semester class plan with a counselor and help you understand your English and Math placement results, pre-requisites and skill advisories.
