Shelton State Community College to Host Special Admit Day

August 4, 2021 – Following the announcement that American Rescue Plan (HEERF III) funds will be used to assist students attending classes this fall, Shelton State Community College will hold a special Admit Day on August 11.   Students who attend Admit Day will be able to complete all parts of the admission process in a single session.

Two sessions will be held for Admit Day on the Martin Campus.  The first session will be from 8:30 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. and the second session will be from 1:30 p.m. until 4:30 p.m.  Attendees will be able to apply for admission, apply for financial aid by completing a free application for federal student aid (FAFSA), speak with an advisor, and register for classes.   Prospective students are asked to bring high school/college transcripts, ACT/SAT scores (if applicable), and 2019 tax returns to determine financial aid options.  Campus tours will also be available.

On Monday, Shelton State announced the use of HEERF III funds for fall students.  All students registered for the fall semester will be eligible to receive a $1,400.00 grant that can be applied to their account for tuition or fee payments or can be refunded directly to the student after classes have started for fall.

If a student wishes to apply these funds to their account balance for the fall semester (to help pay for tuition and fees), they should complete this form. If a student elects to apply these funds to tuition and fees, any excess funds will be refunded on September 8.

If a student prefers to receive these funds in the form of a refund after classes begin, completion of the form is not necessary, but the student’s total account balance must be paid before the next drop for non-payment.

Students who elect to receive refunds are encouraged to enroll in eRefunds. It is important to note that the bank account may only be in the student’s name. If a student has already enrolled in the eRefunds program, they may call the Cashier’s Office at 205.391.2335 to confirm successful enrollment in eRefunds.

If a student elects to receive these funds via check, their student account information in myShelton should be reviewed to ensure that the address on their student profile is correct. If updates are necessary, please email enrollmentservices@sheltonstate.edu.

Only students registered before August 20, 2021, at noon are eligible for this funding.

Refunds not applied to student balances will be issued by Friday, September 10, 2021.
