Research Before You Choose

Choosing the right school can be a tough choice, so research first to make an informed decision!
Research before you choose using the various tools available to you. To find out the total estimated yearly cost of attendance, including tuition, fees and other living expenses, go to Cost of Attendance. Our Net Price Calculator can provide a preliminary estimate of federal, state and institutional aid eligibility. SENMC Financial Aid Staff can help you create the best financial plan. Determine the price of books, course materials, and supplies at the campus bookstore.

Explore financial assistance through Student Financial Aid and Scholarship Services and contact our office with any questions. You may also view the Federal Student Aid tutorial video for step-by-step instructions on how to complete to the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Academic Advising

From your first semester through graduation or transfer, academic advising is an invaluable resource to help you reach your goals. Advisors work with students to select and enroll in classes, understand academic program requirements, develop graduation plans, and connect with campus resources.

Advising is available year-round by appointment; walk-ins are seen on a first-come, first-serve as time permits. Click here to visit the SENMC Advising webpage to schedule an appointment or for any additional advising information.

Degree and Certificate Programs

Any of our degree programs will lead you to a rewarding career and help you reach your academic and personal goals! Students seeking associate degrees can choose from a number of majors and pre-professional programs.
