Complete Placement Process

Students in the Early Childhood Education State Certificate and Degree program will need to take the English and/or Math Placement Surveys. Please do not wait to take the placement surveys. You will complete a lot of reading and writing in each of your classes and taking English classes early in your program will help you with the Addiction Studies courses. Waiting may affect your sequence of classes. Especially if you place into prerequisite courses for both English and Math.

High school transcripts are used for math and English course placement for those who have graduated high school within the last five years.
SFCC offers an online direct self-placement survey for students who graduated beyond 5 years.

Email your High School Transcripts to or request Self-Placements from Bigfoot Discover Center (see contact at the end).

Order Official Transcripts

Sealed Official transcripts are to be sent to SFCC directly from all previous college institutions, including Spokane Community College (SCC). SCC transcripts are not sent automatically to SFCC and require you to send by clicking here. Any transcripts sent to SCC will also not transfer and needs to be sent separately. Please do not send them to your email and then send them to the Transcript Department or else it will be considered unofficial and you will need to reorder transcripts. It can take up to 6-8 weeks to be uploaded in the system once the transcript office receives them. Electronic/email is preferred.

All transcripts, (except SCC) send directly to sfcc.transcripts@sfcc.spokane.edu.

Send Unofficial Transcripts

Send unofficial transcripts to me so I can send to a counselor and/or faculty to look over before you enroll so we can reduce possibility of taking courses you do not need, saves you time and financial aid funding. The counselor will not lift the hold without having an unofficial copy and you will not be able to enroll in classes until received. The sooner they are sent the better.

Complete Sasquatch Registration and/or Enrollment

You will arrange advising meeting through Sasquatch Beginnings Canvas Shell course. Please select the option that applies to you (e.g. No college experience, New transfer student, or returning student). This is important for advising process.

A brand new student to college will select the Sasquatch Registration Meeting and at that time get assistance with enrolling in your first quarter classes.
A transfer or returning student will meet with me (Leah.Ruiz@sfcc.spokane.edu) or a counselor and get assistance with enrolling in your first quarter classes.
