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. Use this checklist to help you in the financial aid process. Visit the FAFSA Application Process page and view the FAFSA video tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
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.
