Outreach

Helping You Make a Smooth Transition to College

Are you a graduating senior, first-time college student, returning student, adult learner, or Guidance Counselor?
The Outreach team is happy to help you explore your options at Southwestern College and guide you through the enrollment process. 

Whatever your background, the Outreach team is committed to providing you with information about Southwestern College programs, services, enrollment procedures, and academic opportunities. Our goal is to make sure you have the information and resources you need to make an informed decision, and ease your transition into Southwestern College.

Finding the right college for you can require many steps. Admissions. Residency. Student Support. Health Services. It’s a lot. We get it! And that’s why we’re here to help you every step of the way.
