Steps to Enroll

Step 1 _____________________________________________

Admission Process (Full-time students)
(Part-time students skip to Step 4)
Note: If you are currently attending Moraine Valley Community College or have completed an enrollment form or attended within the past year, you do not need to submit an enrollment form.

To enroll, fill out an enrollment form online, call Registration at (708) 974-2110, or stop by the Admissions Office in the College Center (Building C). The online enrollment form is not real time. Please allow a week to receive notification of enrollment after submission of form.

Submit transcripts. If you graduated from high school or passed the GED less than five years ago and have completed fewer than 15 hours of college credit, submit either an official high school transcript that includes your final grades and graduation date or the results of your GED test.

If you are seeking a degree or certificate at Moraine Valley Community College, you must submit all prior undergraduate U.S. college transcripts. If you currently are attending another college or university, have the transcript sent at the end of the semester. Graduate transcripts are only required if needed to show prior college math or English credit.

Each high school or college must mail the transcripts to Records Department, C125, Moraine Valley Community College, 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills, IL 60465-0937.

Step 2 ____________________________________________

Take placement exam
All new full-time students are required to take Math, English and Reading Placement exams. Take placement exam or submit appropriate ACT scores (if applicable). The student does not need to take the placement exam (COMPASS) if the student scored a minimum of 20 in the English, Math and Reading sections on the ACT. Scores must be submitted to the new student retention office (College Center, upstairs). It is the student's responsibility to go to the Moraine Valley walk-in Testing Center, located in Building B, Room B101. Students will receive test results immediately after taking the exam. Call the Testing Center at (708) 974-5309 for current testing hours. No appointment necessary. There is an $8 fee, which is added to your tuition bill.

It is recommended students review www.act.org/compass to prepare for the placement exam. In addition, there is a COMPASS study guide at the circulation desk in the library (Building L) and in the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (College Center). The placement exam can be taken twice before registration for classes.

Step 3 _____________________________________________

Attend orientation
Orientation is mandatory for all new, full-time students. Students cannot register until they have attended orientation. At orientation, students will review their placement test results, as well as receive information on programs and services, educational planning assistance and class scheduling.

Step 4 _____________________________________________

Register for classes (Full-time students) Full-time students who have completed the previous steps are now ready to register for classes and can do so at the end of the new-student orientation.
