CHIPOLA COLLEGE
Enrollment Timeline for Fall Semester 2007
#1 - Application for Admission
Submit an Application for Admission as soon as you decide to attend. You are encouraged to submit your application to the
Admissions and Records Office before July 1. The deadline for applications for admission is August 2. Remember, the
Application for Admission and the Application for Financial Aid are not the same. Receiving financial aid and/or a scholarship
does not mean you are automatically admitted to Chipola; you must complete separate applications for admission and financial aid.
You do not have to declare a major or program of study when you submit your application; however, it is important to work with a
college counselor and make a decision about your major during your first two semesters at Chipola.
If you are a high school dual enrolled student in a college class Spring Semester, 2007, you do not have to submit a new
Application for Admission: however, you must submit a final high school transcript that indicates your official graduation date.
#2 - Placement Testing
If you plan to enroll as an academic or college credit student, you should take the ACT or SAT before the end of your senior year.
If you have not taken the ACT or SAT in the last two years, you will need to take the College Placement Test (CPT) before you
register for classes. If you plan to enroll as a workforce development student, you should take the Test of Adult Basic Education
(TABE). Contact the Testing Center at (850) 718-2284 for testing information. Test scores must be on file before you can register
for classes. Test results are used by the college for both advising and for placement in courses that will best assist you toward your
chosen major.
