***Please Note***

The SRJC is expecting to have a larger enrollment of students for the Fall 2020 semester due to the Covid impact.  This means that many of our students may find that the classes they want to take are already full by their registration date.  I know that this may be challenging to navigate.  Here are some tips that may assist you in your registration process:

  •  Add more classes to your Dual Enrollment Form, so that you have more options chose from. 
  • Sign up for classes at your designated registration time:  June 25th at 7 am
  • As soon as you see that the class you want to enroll in is full, email the professor of the class to ask about being on the wait-list.  As these will all be online classes, the wait-list may be automatic or your professor may be able to add you in later in the course.  In your email, tell them who you are and why you want to take this course.  Also, let them know your commitment to doing well if they allow you to enroll. 
  • There may be more than 1 section of the course that is offered, so you may want to email more than 1 professor. 
  • If you are added to the wait-list and/or told by the professor that you are on an "unofficial" wait-list, make sure that you keep up with the reading and homework so that you are able to jump right into the class if you are officially enrolled. 
  • I want to encourage you to be flexible and look for alternatives to the classes that you want to take.

If you are attending a 4-Year College in the Fall:
 
     Look into the housing deposits required for most on-campus housing.
     Most final decisions (and tuition deposits) need to be made by May 1.  Note: Some schools are extending deadlines due to the Covid circumstances.
     Make sure OVS sends your Final High School Transcripts.

 

 

Juniors

  •      Summer Plans:  Keep Building your College List, work on your Essays, & enjoy your summer. 
  •      SAT/ACT:  Many of the schools have declared that they will be "test-optional."  Depending on the list of schools that you are planning to apply to, they may still look at your scores.  I would encourage you to take the SAT/ACT if you have schools that might consider it.
