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.

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 7 - 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.
