All orientation sessions are held in the Civic Center in Building 9. A schedule of classes will be worked out with the advisor and, after registering, students will pay, verify payment or charge fees at the Business Office, or at the satellite campuses, and pick up their official schedules. It takes 3-4 weeks to process applications. If additional assistance is needed, there also may be state or college funds available for eligible students. In order to charge tuition and fees to a Pell Grant, processing of the application must be completed prior to the registration period.
Personnel are available at all four campuses to assist students in filling out the applications.
Students should take a copy of their 1999 federal tax return, or their parents' return, when they go to make application for funding assistance. Child care assistance may be available for students with preschool age children. Applications for this assistance are available at the Financial Aid Office. The VA does not approve some courses for payment, and veterans should check with Rose to see if programs they are interested in are covered. Additional information on registration and financial aid can be found on the VGCC World Wide Web site.
