Registration is open for fall classes at Spoon River College that begin August 19, and there are four main steps prospective students should complete.

The first steps are completing an admission form, which can be completed online, and taking an assessment test. For placement, SRC accepts ACT, SAT, ACCUPLACER, and previous college credit. The ACCUPLACER testing is offered at all four SRC locations, and there are no fees for the application or the testing.

Prospective students should also complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine eligibility for federal financial aid, and the school’s code is 00164300. Throughout the month of July, financial aid staff at Spoon River College are offering walk-in assistance in filing the FAFSA on Tuesday mornings from 9-noon at their Canton and Macomb campuses.

The final step in registering is to make an appointment with an advisor. Academic advisors are currently available for advising and registration appointments during July in-person and by phone Monday – Thursday from 8:30 am – 3:30 pm. The college is currently observing summer hours, and will return to being open on Fridays in August.

An appointment with an advisor can be scheduled online by filling out the Advisor Meeting form on the website under the Admissions tab, and should include the date and time that is being requested, along with the program of interest. Please allow 1-2 business days for confirmation as date and time is not guaranteed until it has been confirmed by the Student Services Office.  Advisors can also be reached by emailing advisor@src.edu or by calling call (309)647-6400 in Canton, (309)543-4413 in Havana, (309)837-6069 in Macomb, and (217)322-6060 in Rushville.

The payment deadline for the fall semester is August 1. Students must have their tuition paid in full by that date or be enrolled in the automatic installment payment plan. For more information about financial aid, call (309) 649-7030 or (309) 833-6073. More financial aid information is also available on the college’s website under the Student Services tab.
