Send Us Your Transcripts and Test Scores

Admission to SPC requires a standard high school diploma or GED. We need your final and official academic transcripts to show proof of high school graduation or GED. We must have your official transcripts in order for you to receive Financial Aid and be classified as a degree-seeking student.

If you took any AICE, AP, CELP, ACT, and SAT, please also send those official transcripts.

Save time — have your schools send us your transcripts electronically!

Steps to Register

Meet with Your Advisor to Register

You were assigned a Career and Academic Advisor when you applied to SPC. You can find your Advisor’s name by either checking the email you received when you first applied, asking your Enrollment Specialist, or logging in to the Titan Hub to access your MySPC. Your Advisor’s name and contact information will be in the bottom left-hand corner of MySPC. You can meet with your Advisor face-to-face or online.

Schedule an appointment. Advisors have appointments up until two weeks before the beginning of the term. If you want to register two weeks or less before the start of the term, you can see an Advisor on a first come, first served basis, either on campus or through virtual advising.

Pay Tuition and Fees

Login to the Titan Hub to access MySPC. Here you will see your balance and tuition date. Please be aware of your payment date. You will be dropped from your classes if your tuition and fees are not paid by your due date.

Orientation

After registering, you are ready to start the SPC First-Time Titan program!

Pre-Orientation

Pre-Orientation is an online module that will take roughly an hour and a half to complete. In Pre-Orientation, you will learn helpful information to help you succeed here at SPC. To access pre-orientation, log in to the Titan Hub, and click on MyCourses. The First-Time Titan Pre-Orientation will be listed here as a course option.

It is important that you complete these four assignments prior to attending orientation:

Introduction to MyCourses found in Module 1 in the MyCourses Student Overview section
SPC's Your Keys to Success! Survey found in Module 2 in the Titan Care Center section

You will register for Orientation in the last module of Pre-Orientation.

Orientation

Orientation is a face-to-face experience where you can meet other students starting at SPC. It is approximately three hours long. During this interactive and engaging session you will learn more about exploring your career options, what to expect on the first day of class, get familiar with the campus and learn about SPC resources.

Please arrive to Orientation 15-30 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. This will allow time for the check-in process and to complete any items needed for the day.
