Steps to Enrollment

Step 1

Explore Your Career and Major Options

Not sure what you want to study? You’re not alone. Lots of students start college still figuring it out.

Your Student Services Specialist can help you explore career paths and choose a major that fits your goals. We've categorized our majors into nine Guided Pathways that can help you determine your college concentration.

Step 2

Apply to Atlantic Cape

Applying is free and it’s the first step toward your future. You can fill out the application at home, on your phone, or at a kiosk on campus.

You can learn more about how to apply on our Admissions page.

If you are looking to enroll in Workforce Development or Continuing Education courses, select the Continuing Education / Workforce Development Application.

Good news: We’re an open enrollment college, which means you’re in.

Apply Now
Step 3

Meet Your Student Services Specialist

Once you apply, you’ll get a go-to person to walk you through the rest when you are on campus.

They’ll help with everything from placement testing to choosing classes.

If you don’t have SAT, ACT, or transcripts, we may ask you to take a placement test through our Testing Center.

No stress. It’s not pass or fail. It just helps us place you in the right course.

Step 4

Apply for Financial Aid

College costs less than you think, especially with financial aid. Filling out the FAFSA is free and it’s the key to grants, state aid, and even tuition-free college. Start your FAFSA at studentaid.gov and use Atlantic Cape’s school code: 002596.

Not a U.S. citizen? No problem - you may still qualify for financial aid through New Jersey. Just complete the NJ Alternative Financial Aid Application instead of the FAFSA.

Need help? We’ve got you. Just ask your Specialist or stop by the One-Stop.

Start Your FAFSA
Step 5

Plan Your Classes and Register

Now it’s time to build your schedule.

You can register online through your Atlantic Cape Connect portal via the Self Service card or meet with your Specialist in person.

We’ll make sure you stay on track with your goals and have a schedule that works for your life.

Want to see the schedule for the upcoming semesters? Visit our Course Catalog & Class Schedules page. NOTE: Atlantic Cape Connect keeps the most up-to-date class schedules. 

Register for Classes
Step 6

Make a Payment or Set Up a Plan

To reserve your spot in class, you’ll need to make a payment, apply for aid, or set up a payment plan.

If you apply for financial aid, payment is not due until your award is processed.

You can take care of it all through Atlantic Cape Connect or at the Bursar’s Office (Cost and Payment Plans page).

We accept all major cards, E-Check, and cash. Payment plans are available for fall and spring semesters.
