You can fill the application out at home or on your phone by visiting atlantic.edu/apply or you can use one of our self service kiosks at any of our three convenient campus locations. Atlantic Cape is an open enrollment institution so your acceptance is guaranteed. 
• Meet your Atlantic Cape Student Services Specialist
  At Atlantic Cape, you will have one central point of contact help to guide you through the registration process and answer any questions you may have. If you don’t have your high school/college transcripts, SAT or ACT test scores we will ask you to take a placement test. You can’t fail our test – it’s simply a way for us to ensure that you are in the correct class level.     
• Career & Academic Major Exploration
  Are you unsure what career path you want to pursue? It is not uncommon to be undecided when you are starting your journey. Our Student Services Navigators/Advisors will help you determine your career goals and help you decide on a academic major.
• Apply for financial aid
  All Atlantic Cape students are highly encouraged to apply for financial aid. Applying is free and may save you a lot of money. You can save time by starting your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov or we can assist you in this process. Be sure to use Atlantic Cape’s code 002596 when filling out the application, and also choose to use your data for the State of New Jersey. Financial aid determinations are based on many different criteria and mean you could qualify for federal and state aid, grants, and you might even qualify for tuition-free college through New Jersey's Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG).
• Plan out your classes and register
  Your Student Services Specialist may help you plan and register you for your classes. Students may also register for classes by logging on to their Self Service
  student portal.
• Payment
  You must make a payment, sign up for a payment plan or apply for financial aid to reserve your space in your classes. If necessary, your Student Services Specialist will help you process a payment through Self Service or direct you to the Bursar to make your payment in-person or set up a payment plan. Atlantic Cape accepts cash, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover and E-Check. Payment is due upon registration and payment plans are available for the fall & spring semesters.
