A quick education on becoming a Cougar.

Step 1: Apply for Admission – complete the SCC Admission Application. If you're an A+ Scholarship student, make sure you read this: Critical Information. 

Step 2: Login to your SCC Portal with your SCC email and password – to access email and Canvas. Remember, the SCC Portal>SCC Connection is where you can register for classes, see your financial aid, view your grades, etc. You can also find campus announcements, news and events in the portal. Learn More.

• Your username/password is contained in your Welcome/Acceptance email which is normally sent within 1 business day of applying to the college. If you don't see it, check your 'spam' and 'junk' folders and then email admissions@stchas.edu and we will re-send it. 
• If you have issues signing in, please contact the IT Service Desk at 636-922-8555 or servicedesk@stchas.edu.
• If you are requested to supply additional information (i.e. transcripts, change of information, residency proof, citizenship documents, date of birth or Social Security Number corrections, tuition rate corrections, registration restrictions, waivers) send the documents to enrollment@stchas.edu from your SCC email account for processing.

Step 3: Submit Transcripts – your final High School transcript, ACT scores, and any other College or University transcripts you may have. Send this information to enrollment@stchas.edu.

• Request for Evaluation of Transfer Credit (if you have college transfer credits from another institution) Transfer students must request that their transcripts be evaluated so they can be transferred into your SCC student record. Sign into your SCC Portal>Quick Links>eForms>Request for Evaluation of Transfer Credit - complete the required information and click submit.
• You will receive an email to your SCC email account with instructions on how to view your transfer classes and how they were accepted at SCC. Please allow two weeks for an evaluation from the time the transcripts are received at SCC.

Step 6: Apply for financial aid and scholarships.
