Welcome, Students!
- All NEW SSCC students must go through ADMISSIONS (206) 934-7943 ...before they can register for any college class.
(Returning students register themselves, either in-person, or online: http://www.southseattle.edu/services/sermain.htm)
+ The Admissions Office assigns you a Student ID (SID) number, which is REQUIRED for registration into any class. This can be done online or in-person.
+ Students who have a Student ID (SID) number through Seattle Central CC or North Seattle CC,
but have not taken classes at South Seattle CC, will need to fill out an online Web Admissions form.
+ If you are a returning student, please register here or see below section on returning students.
- Take a COMPASS or ESL/COMPASS placement test (206) 934-5349
All 100-299 level courses require COMPASS scores in Writing (68) and Reading (81), except as noted in individual course prerequisites. Compass test scores are good for 2 years, generally, and must be on file at SSCC. Call the Assessments Office for questions.
- Minimum entrance prerequisite placement scores for all College level courses, with the exception of studio and performance courses and where noted in individual course prerequisites, are as follows: COMPASS: Writing 68, Reading 81. Call the Assessments office for questions.
- If you have taken a COMPASS test at another college within the last two years, these scores can be transferred in. Please contact the college you took the test at to initiate this process. The eLearning office does not do this for you. If your scores are older than a few years, please arrange to re-take them.
Call the Assessments Office for information.
- Previous college credit?
- If you are a New Student to SSCC, and only taking a few online courses through SSCC, you may
send your UNOFFICIAL (but complete) transcript by email to eLearning@southseattle.edu.
Include your Name, SID, Item # and Course Name, and which quarter you'd like to be registered for. - NOTE: the eLearning office only accepts unofficial transcripts during registration periods, and does not keep your unofficial transcripts on file for later use. If you wish to register more than once, you will need to provide an unofficial transcript each time you request registration. Most students find it useful to submit an official transcript to the campus. Please read here: Transcripts
- For quick Advisor questions, e-mail advisorsouth@seattlecolleges.edu
Note: SSCC eLearning students are not required to have an appointment with an Advisor before registering for classes; however, talking to an Advisor is always recommended!

Newly-enrolled SSCC students with assessments and/or transcripts ready-to-go can:
- Go to the Registration Office and register in-person; or
- Contact the eLearning office at (206) 934-7930, or eLearning@southseattle.edu for help with registration. You will need to have your Student ID (SID) number ready, have your assessment tests or transcripts in order, and know the item number of the class you wish to take.
PAY for your SSCC courses.
Tuition is due within 7 days of registration until the quarter starts, or within 24 hours if registered after the quarter starts. You are not guaranteed your spot back in class and may have to go on a waiting list to re-register if you are dropped for non-payment of tuition.."I'm Registered, Now What?"
Find and read your course information under COURSE LISTINGS. Get started in your classes once they open!Attendance Verification Forms:
The Financial Aid department would prefer that your instructor send them proof of your online attendance, following the procedures for this. However, you may instead come to the eLearning office in person for a proxy signature AFTER the quarter has started and you have started your work. Make sure your form is filled out in advance, including your SID and the item numbers of the online classes you are taking. We will gladly sign for your instructor.
Please see: Transcripts and Grades
Transcripts: You do not have to take an assessment/placement test if you have submitted an official transcript listing recently-taken college-level English 101 and Math 102 with a grade point of 2.0 or higher.
