  • Learn how to prepare for the placement test;

  • Review the registration and advising process to allow you to register for your classes;

  • Learn about options for paying for your classes; and

  • Learn how to activate your Self-Service and ConnectMail accounts and learn how to use Self-Service to register for classes.
