Follow these easy steps to register as a first-time student:

- Submit your transcript - If you want to earn a degree or certificate at STLCC, you need to submit your final, official high school transcript.

- Meet with an admissions counselor and register for classes – Meet one-on-one with your admission counselor to review your current high school transcript and ACT scores if you have them, and guide your placement for English, math and reading courses. Your counselor will also work with you to explore programs of study and select the appropriate classes for your educational goals. Your counselor will assist you in registering for the classes that best meet your needs.
- Apply for scholarships - Looking for additional funds to go toward your tuition? After you’ve registered for classes, take time to explore our wide variety of scholarships.
