Transfer students should meet with an Academic Advisor in the Advisement Center and must bring unofficial copies of all college transcripts. Appointments available, walk-ins welcome. The Advisement Center is in the Student Center Building (SC-118), (480) 423-6539.
   
   New college students: At College Kickoff you will learn how to choose courses that fit your goal, how to register, and how to be successful in college. Academic Advisors will be your coach as you gear up for your first semester. If you have never attended college and have completed placement testing in English, Reading, and Mathematics, you must attend College Kickoff where you will make your course selections and register.
    
5. Register for courses. This occurs for new students at College Kickoff. For transfer students, after meeting with an Academic Advisor, you may register by logging in to my.maricopa.edu and click Add a Class or complete the registration form and submit it to the Admissions and Records Office. Be sure to note the payment and refund deadlines. Now that you are enrolled, have taken the placement tests, and registered for courses, you may begin the enrollment process with our office. To do so, you must submit a registration form (which can be picked up at our office, or can be found here), as well as the proper documentation (as can be found here). Once the registration form and documentation has been submitted, the DRS staff will assess the documentation and need for academic accommodations within 2 business days. After the assessment process is complete, the DRS staff will contact you to inform you of the academic accommodations we will be able to provide you, if appropriate.
   
   Accommodations are not retroactive. A student with appropriate documentation and approval of DRS staff is entitled to services and accommodations from that date forward. It is important, however, to remember that it is the student's responsibility to request academic accommodations each semester.
