- If you have not taken the ACT exam, sitting for the Accuplacer test is the easiest. The test is given in the Intake Testing Center located in room 142 of the Student Services Building. Please call the Intake Testing Center at 870-850-4801.

STEP #2: See an Advisor
Prior to registering for classes, each student must see an advisor. Visit the Student Success Center, Room 160 located in the Student Services Building, for advisement and register for classes via Self Service. If you are paying for the classes yourself, without financial aid, staff will assist in setting up a payment plan.
STEP #3: Visit the Registrar’s Office
After registering for classes, pick up your Student ID from the Registrar’s Office. Student IDs must be worn while on campus. There is no charge for the first student ID, but there is a $5.00 charge for a replacement.
STEP #4: If Needed, Visit Financial Aid
Students who are receiving any type of financial assistance (or who have applied for financial aid) need to go by the Financial Aid Office for verification. Financial Aid is located in Room 152, in the Student Services Building.
Payment plans can be made online via Self Service (Student Planning) or paid in full at the Cashier. See and adhere to payment deadlines to avoid being dropped from your classes.
STEP #5: Purchase Books and Supplies
Visit the Virtual Barnes and Noble Bookstore for your books and supplies. It is recommended you have your registration class schedule in front of you when ordering books and supplies. If you have any issues with using the online bookstore, contact: Meagan Coats at mcoats@seark.edu, or by phone at 870-850-3124.
