All students new to CLC will first meet with aCollege and Career Navigator (CCN)to confirm educational and career goals, program of study, and to receive first semester advising. After your application is processed, you will receive an email from your CCN, guiding you on next steps.

Before meeting with your CCN to discuss your success plan, complete the Starting Out at CLC online module. Go tohttps://launch.comevo.com/clcillinois/2607. Enter your name, CLC ID number, preferred email, and preferred phone number. If you don’t know your ID number, check your admission email or log into your Student Center to access the number. If you need to stop for any reason, you can log in later and resume your pre-orientation. If you have questions, contact academicsuccess@clcillinois.edu for assistance.

After meeting with your CCN, you will register using thestudent portal(“myCLC” atwww.cherokeefp.com). If you need personal assistance, come to the Welcome and One Stop Center, Room B114, Grayslake Campus, the Student Services office at the Lakeshore Campus or the Campus and Student Support Center, Room V130, at the Southlake Campus.

New students seeking a degree or certificate that requires more than one semester (16 or more credit hours) are required to complete theCollege Success Seminar (CLC 120)with a grade of D or better to meet graduation requirements. Some new students may meet the milestone through other experiences. YourCollege and Career Navigatorcan assist you with questions about the milestone and requirement.

Step 8 - New Student Orientation and Convocation

After registering for classes with your College and Career Navigator, you will receive information about completing new student orientation activities and convocation. Check your CLC student email for details. You will access personalized orientation modules and choose a date to attend New Student Convocation, CLC’s official welcome to the college. Convocation is held shortly before the start of classes, and you will meet your Academic Success Advisor during the program. For more information, visitwww.cherokeefp.com/nso.

Step 9 - Pay

Pay

CLC enforces tuition payment deadlines, so it is important to make payment arrangements by your payment due date. To avoid being dropped for nonpayment, students should set up an installment payment plan, pay 40% or more of their balance due, or owe $500 or less. Students receiving financial aid are eligible for an installment payment plan under the “deferred” option. The installment plan only goes into effect if your aid does not cover your full tuition and fee obligation. Students will be dropped from their classes if they have not made payment arrangements. Veterans: Refer to the Veteran’s Request for Certification Form for payment plan requirements or contact Veteran Student Services at (847) 543-2018.
