The Admissions Process
A Step-by-Step Process
1. Be Admitted / Establish
a Record with EAC
| How: |
You may complete and submit the online
application for admission called the Admissions
Form.
Or
You may print out a pdf
version of the Student Information Form, fill it
out and send it to us:
|
2. Apply for Financial Aid
| Why: |
Even though Eastern's tuition
is one of the lowest in the state, many students take
advantage of both scholarships and federal grants and
work study money to save even more |
| When: |
March 1 is the priority date for both
the FAFSA (Federal) and EAC scholarship applications. |
| How: |
As early as January 1:
- Fill out and submit the Federal
application
- Complete the EAC Financial Aid Data
Sheet
- Fill out and submit the EAC scholarship
application
|
3. Arrange Housing
| Why: |
On-campus living adds an
important social dimension to your college experience
and helps you find “balance” along with your
academic pursuits. In addition, there’s no cooking,
no dishwashing, and unlimited “seconds” at
the cafeteria, not to mention the proximity to classes
and the safety and support of full-time residence staff.
|
| When: |
Assignments are given first-come first-served,
based on receipt of the completed application and $150
refundable deposit. |
| How: |
Complete and submit the Residence Hall
License Agreement/Application. You can also apply
online or by phone at 1-800-678-3808 ext. 8605. |
4. Take Placement Tests (if you
need to)
| Why: |
Placement tests provide you
with information about your reading, writing, and mathematics
skills and enable us to advise you about the course or
courses most likely to offer you the best opportunity
for success. You may need to take placement testing before
you enroll in your first mathematics or English composition
courses or those courses with special placement testing
requirements indicated in the class schedule. Results
of the tests will be provided to you along with recommended
placement in specific reading, English, and math courses.
Go to the web address above, or call 1-800-678-3808 ext.
8270 to find out if you can waive the tests. |
When/
How: |
Go to the above web address, or call
1-800-678-3808 ext. 8270 for dates, times, and places
offered. Each test is approximately 2 hours. |
5. Seek Class Planning Advisement
| Why: |
As a new student at Eastern,
it’s important to start out right. EAC’s Counseling
Office can help you learn how to set your academic
goals, to study and learn more effectively, and to function
well in the sometimes demanding and high stress college
environment. New Student Orientation covers subjects such
as Academic Planning-learn how to use the tools necessary
for planning your college program and Registration Assistance-learn
how to use Eastern’s registration systems and in
most cases you will be able to complete registration for
your classes. |
| When: |
Orientation sessions are offered on the
Thatcher Campus on all dates when placement testing is
scheduled, the months of May, June, July, and August and
the week prior to the beginning of Spring semester classes.
Sessions are 4 hours in length and begin at 1 p.m. |
| How: |
To sign up for an Orientation session,
or for more information, call 1-800-678-3808 ext. 8253
or send an e-mail to counseling@eac.edu.
Orientation sessions are free and include an optional
session for parents. |
6. Register for Classes
| When: |
Although it is highly recommended
that all new students register for classes during an Orientation
session (see Class Planning Advisement) any student may
register for a given semester months prior to the first
day of classes. |
| How: |
See online
registration options, or call 1-800-678-3808 Ext.
8270. |
7. Contact the Fiscal Office to Verify
or Pay Tuition/Fees, Housing, and Meal Plan and to Verify
that your status is “Finalized”
| Why: |
Eastern’s Fiscal Office
can help you make sure nothing stands in the way of the
first day of classes by allowing you to verify payments
already made and make any outstanding payments, thus “Finalizing”
your payment history and ensuring any financial aid you
qualify for is ready for dispersement. |
| When: |
At least one week before classes begin
you should contact Eastern’s Fiscal Office. |
| How: |
Call1-800-678-3808 Ext. 8223 and tell
them you wish to “Finalize” your record in
preparation for the start of the new semester. |
8. Buy Text Books
| When: |
Most students buy textbooks
before classes begin; however, books are sold through
the first few weeks of each semester. |
| How: |
You can purchase your textbooks through
Follett Higher Educational Group. Although not affiliated
with EAC, Follett has a store on campus and can serve
your needs in person or online. |
9. Obtain Student Photo ID
| Why: |
Want to get into a basketball
game, check out a library book, use a campus computer,
or just cash a check? The Student Photo ID card is the
“key” to many campus activities. |
| When: |
Once you’re on campus, registered
for classes, and have paid all your fees, you can obtain
a Student ID card. |
| How: |
Go to the Cashier’s Window, at
the Fiscal Office. Your picture will be taken and your
card processed within a few minutes. |
