Taking advantage of these services and resources will help you define and reach your highest goals, will contribute to your academic success, and will enhance your life for many years to come. An assessment of your existing skills may be required in order to assure a reasonable match between your existing skills and the academic demands of certain courses. For example, if you are enrolling in an English, mathematics or reading course, or enrolling in a course for which English, mathematics or reading is a prerequisite, you must have completed the required assessment test. Academic advisement is designed to help you select courses that will assist you in achieving your educational goals.
Appointments are free of charge for both academic advising and for assessments.
The increasing cost of a college education makes it rare that students can complete their coursework or degree program without needing to seek some form of financial aid. Estrella Mountain is sensitive to this issue and has organized two avenues for you to explore when seeking money to finance your college education. Information and assistance is provided to help determine student eligibility for various forms of financial aid - grants, loans, and work study. Help is also available to assist you in obtaining scholarships. On-campus interviews are held throughout the school year by employers around the valley who recruit and hire students.
