Are you returning to Butte after a leave or did you attend another college since attending Butte?  You should update your address, email and phone number but you don't have to fill out another application.  You can do this online using WebAdvisor.

If you attended another college then have your official transcript sent to Butte College as soon as possible.   Allow 1-2 weeks for arrival.  If you are taking a Math, English or Reading class you may want to have your transcipt evaluated for placement.  Otherwise you will need to take our placement test if you did not complete it when you attended in the past.  Call the Assessment Office @ 895-2350 to request an evaluation or to schedule a test if you are not yet cleared from Assessment.

If you are not planning on earning a degree and are taking 6 units or less that are not Math, Reading or English you are not required to have placement on file.

Follow the Enrollment Process guidelines to make sure you are ready to Register.
