Steps To Start Credit Courses
If You Have Never Attended Any College
As a first-time college student, you very likely have lots of questions about how to start college.
- Which courses do you need?
- Which courses are you eligible to take?
- How will you know when classes are scheduled?
- What is a credit hour?
At Lone Star College-North Harris, your success is our goal and the college district has developed an Enrollment Guide to help answer many of these questions.
Lone Star College-North Harris students can download a printable New Student Checklist to assist with the beginning steps.
All new students are required to complete some form of placement testing to determine your beginning course placement.
