Return to Cecil College and pick up where you left off. Learn how to reapply, update your student status, register for classes, and access the resources and support you need to complete your educational goals.

Welcome back to Cecil College! Students who have previously attended Cecil College and wish to return should contact Admissions to determine whether a new application is required. Once readmitted, students should access their CecilConnect account, meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss their academic plan and register for classes, and submit official transcripts from any other colleges attended since their last enrollment if they wish to have those credits evaluated. Students should also review their financial aid eligibility, resolve any outstanding holds, and ensure they are prepared to begin classes for the upcoming semester.

Steps

1. Submit a New Admissions Application

All returning students must submit a new admissions application if they have not attended Cecil College within the past year.

Cecil College applications remain active for one year only. If it has been more than one year since you last attended Cecil College, you will need to reapply before continuing your studies.

When completing the application, be sure to select Returning Cecil Student as your Admit Type.

Important: Watch your email for instructions from IT and follow the steps to activate your account.

3. Submit Transcripts from Other Colleges

If you attended another college or university since your last enrollment at Cecil College, request that your official transcripts be sent to Cecil College.

The Registration Office completes official transcript evaluations to determine which previously earned credits may transfer to Cecil College.
