Welcome back.
We would like to extend our counseling services to you. Services
will be available to you one business day after your application is
submitted. Students
must resubmit an application if they have sat out for more than one
semester (not including summer).
Please be sure to check out Chabot’s Admissions and Records
website for registration information for former students:
http://www.chabotcollege.edu/admissions/registration/former.cfm
If you would like to see a counselor to discuss
your educational plan, come in person to the Counseling Center to
make an appointment. To AVOID THE RUSH, we encourage you make an
appointment as soon as possible. To prepare for your counseling
appointment, you should:
-
Complete English and Math assessments at
Chabot College. If
you have completed English and/or Math at Chabot previously be
sure to ask your counselor what course (if any) you should take
next. If coursework
for English and/or Math was completed at another college you may
opt out of the assessments but you will need to provide your
transcripts.
-
Make sure all transcripts are on file at Admissions or Records.
-
Make a counseling appointment to have an unofficial evaluation,
review your priority registration and to initiate prerequisite
overrides (if applicable).
Veterans
The Counseling department is proud to welcome our Veterans to Chabot
College. This guide is designed to help you understand the
enrollment process, the services you are entitled to receive, and
the campus/community resources available to assist you with your
academic and career goals.
In addition to the steps listed below be sure to check out Chabot's
Admissions and Records site about veterans services:
http://www.chabotcollege.edu/veterans/
Step #1:
Complete the Admissions Application at
www.chabotcollege.edu.
24 hours after submitting your application, you should receive an
e-mail giving you your Student Identification Number(W#).
You can check your W# by logging into Classweb.
For further assistance you can go to Online Student Services
located on the first floor in building 700.
Step #2:
Once you receive your Student Identification Number (W#), your next
step is to take a copy of your DD214 directly to the Veterans
Office. Submit to the
Veterans Office your VA packet and verify that your tuition expenses
will be covered by your benefits.
Step #3: the college
assessment tests (placement tests) for English/ESL and Math. A
schedule
of test dates is available online, your college application must be
on file prior to taking the test. The computerized test usually
takes two hours to complete. The test measures your English,
Reading and Math skills and places you into an appropriate class for
your skill level. Remember these are not pass/fail tests.
A photo identification is required to take the test. The
Assessment Center is located in Building 700, Room 714A.
If you have completed English and/or Math courses at another
college you can bring your transcript to counseling to request a
prerequisite override.
See a counselor for more details.
Step #4:
Complete the College
Online Orientation.
As new students you are encouraged to attend the in-person group
Orientation sessions
(if available; in-person group orientations are scheduled at the end
of the assessment test).
The orientation is designed to give you a general
understanding of what the college has to offer, its programs,
services, policies, and procedures. If you have previously attended
another college
you can opt not to complete the Orientation because you have college
experience, it is still recommended so that you can understand
Chabot College's policies and procedures.
Step #5:
Check
service hours for counselor availability.
Student must come in person to schedule a counseling
appointment (if available with a veterans counselor).
Collect a copies of all college transcripts (military or
civilian) and bring them to the counseling appointment for review.
Work with a counselor to
understand how military credit is awarded.
The counselor will review your assessment results and/or
prior academic recrods. The
counselor will develop an educational plan. The educational plan is
required by the Veterans Office to process your VA
educational benefits. During the counseling appointment you may also
request a review of your priority registration number if you have
previously completed English/Math courses at another college (you
might qualify for an exemption from assessment and orientation). See
the following website for more information on how priority numbers
are determined at Chabot:
http://www.chabotcollege.edu/admissions/registration/priority.cfm
Step #6: Veterans
receive pre-priority registration.
Check the class schedule for specific dates.
Register for your classes using Classweb and be sure to pay
by the listed deadlines.
If
payment is not received by the deadline, students may be unenrolled/deregistered
from all their classes. Payment can be made on Classweb or in person
at Admissions and Records (1st floor building 700).
Check with the
financial aid office (building 700)
for information regarding fee waivers and financial assistance.
Step #7: Tour the
campus and become familiar with campus and community resources.
