Next Steps After Pathway Selection
Now that you have finished selecting your pathway, you can begin working on the remaining steps towards becoming a YVC student.
YVC has many paths for you to find your starting points in English & math. Most courses have placement prerequisites for writing and math ability and all new students must have placements in order to register for classes. You should complete the placement process within two weeks of admission.
Read the Checklist that accompanied your Letter of Admission or view a more detailed Next Steps for New Students for a complete list of everything you need to do.
Next Steps
Most new students will need to complete the placement testing. Students must begin class at the most appropriate level of instruction in order to be successful. Placement testing assists your advisor in placing you in the correct class.
Students that have already completed a college level writing or mathematics class do not need to take a placement test if they have submitted official transcripts to YVC. Transcript evaluation can take up to four weeks, so get those transcripts sent in early.
To be considered for federal or state financial aid complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Visit: www.fafsa.ed.gov.
