Once you have completed the residency determination, application, and submitted your transcripts, you are ready to proceed to the next enrollment steps:
- Participation in a New Student Orientation. is recommended for all new, degree-seeking students prior to registration. Sessions are available online and are held on campus throughout each term. Orientation provides in-depth information on College resources and requirements, program and career options as well as exposure to critical student technology pieces, including college email, Carteret Compass, and Moodle.
- Get your Student ID. New and returning students need to obtain a Carteret Community College Student ID Card by stopping by the reception desk in the Henry J. McGee Building. The first card is provided free of charge. There is a charge of $5.00 for all replacement Student ID cards. It is recommended that students always keep their Carteret Community College Student ID Cards with them to be used as a means of identification. Student ID cards are required to purchase books and supplies in the campus bookstore and when charging to a third party (Pell, Student Loan, V.A., V.R., scholarship, SEOG, etc.).
- Determine course placement. Carteret CC uses high school GPA or GED test scores to determine placement. Students with GED scores older than 2014 will be placed in transition courses unless the student chooses to take the placement test which can be scheduled through the MAPS Center.
- Register for class. Visit carteret.edu/register to check registration deadlines. First-time college students will meet with an advisor for approval to register for classes. In this session, students will be provided with an overview of placement into courses, program information, and the name of their faculty advisor who will provide curriculum guidance for future semesters. The student and advisor will discuss recommended courses for the first term at Carteret CC and develop an educational plan. When you have chosen your courses, go to Carteret Compass to register.
- Carteret Compass is a self-service application that allows the student to access online registration, their academic unofficial transcript, final grades, program evaluations, test scores, advisor information, current address/phone number/email address, financial aid and account information, and much more.
Access to Carteret Compass can be found on the main page of the College's website, http://www.carteret.edu. To login to Carteret Compass, a student should user their college assigned username and password.
- Pay for your classes. Visit carteret.edu/tuition for information on payment plans and deadlines. Use Carteret Compass to pay for your classes and check the status of your financial aid package, if applicable.
