• The Summer '12 class schedule is available online on WebAdvisor.   Due to budget constraints, we will not have printed class schedule copies available. 
• If you are requesting an evaluation of credits for coursework completed at another accredited institution, you will need to meet with a counselor for a preliminary transcript evaluation. Bring in an official, sealed copy of your college transcript. The Counselor will review your completed coursework and forward it to our Transcript Evaluator in Admissions and Records. Please allow 8-10 weeks for completion. Official transcripts sent directly to Admissions and Records will not be evaluated without the student meeting with a Counselor and requesting the evaluation for the transfer of credits towards a specific degree or program. Transcripts with coursework completed prior to 1994 must be accompanied by either a detailed course description, or ideally, a course syllabus.
