Step 3: Check your email for next steps
Once your application materials are submitted, you will receive an email with additional information about the on-boarding process from the college.
Additional steps include orientation, advising, and campus tour. The SFCC Office of Concurrent Enrollment communicates using the email students provided on the submitted application.
