As a trusted source of insight and guidance for your students, we know and appreciate your need for quality information.  Here are some more common topics of interest to counselors, advisors and teachers as you assist your students in making the transition from high school to college.

Financial aid - The Financial Aid Office assists students in applying for federal, state and institutional funds to help them meet their educational costs. Students may apply for grants, loans, and work assistance. Most of the funding is based on the family's financial situation; therefore, the student must complete a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/

CSC’s Federal School code is 007265

Scheduling a Campus Tour – For the most comprehensive look at Carl Sandburg College, we recommend tours during the week when classes are ongoing and the majority of students are on campus. Campus tours are available Monday through Thursday from 9 am to 3 pm. Call (309) 341-5237 to set up a time to visit campus. 

COMPASS Placement exam – Prior to registering for classes, all incoming students must take the COMPASS test.  The COMPASS assessment will not only help place students in courses most beneficial to their needs, it will also orient them to the many programs, activities and resources offered by the College.  In addition, the results of the COMPASS testing will provide the Student Services staff with a valuable tool for more effective counseling of students.  For a schedule of exam times and to register, call the Assessment Center at (309) 341-5323 or visit http://www.sandburg.edu/admissions/placementTesting
