Welcome to your virtual Parson Days session! Here you’ll find the same valuable information that you receive on campus at Parson Days. Keep scrolling to find step-by-step directions for virtual orientation. By the time you’ve completed all of the steps, you’ll be ready to register for classes!
Step One – Confirm all of your admissions documents have been received.
OneACCS is the access point to your student records and information at SSCC. This is where you will register for classes, withdraw from classes, view admissions information, find financial aid records, access your grades, view/print/request academic transcripts, and many other things while you are a student. You need to check to make sure we have received your residency form, photo identification and your final high school transcript. The first step for you to complete is to sign-in to OneACCS using your student number, which is the same as your student email.
Your email address is your full student number AXXXXXXXX@snead.edu. This means your ACCS login will be your personal A number @snead.edu. Your default password is !SNEADMMDDYY with the MMDDYY being your birthdate. This does include in the exclamation point.
Trouble logging in? Please email jerri.gullion@snead.edu, and be sure to include your full name and your date of birth.
Check out this video for a quick how-to on signing in to OneACCS and checking your admission documents.
Step Two – Confirm all of your financial aid documents have been received.
Next up, be sure you have completed all of the financial aid requirements on your OneACCS account.

Step Three – Check your program of study.
Now, let’s check your program of study, or pathways as we call them, on OneACCS. Your advisor is determined based on your pathway. So, it’s important we have the correct major listed for you.
Changed your mind about your program of study since you applied to Snead State? No problem! If you need to change your major, please complete the change of program of study form and email it to studentservices@snead.edu.
Step Four – Complete and print your Alabama Transfers Guide.
Students at Snead State who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university in the state of Alabama will need to print and follow an Alabama Transfers Guide. Login to your student application portal at snead.edu/apply and click on Alabama Transfers, or go to alabamatransfers.com to find the guide and print it. Be sure to have your Alabama Transfers Guide on hand for your advising session in step 5.

Step Five – Sign up for an advising session.
Once you’ve completed the first four steps, it’s time to sign up for an advising session. During your advising session, you’ll have a virtual meeting with your faculty advisor to determine which classes you need to take this fall.
An advisor will be assigned to you based on your major. Once your information is entered, you’ll be able to see the available dates and times for your advisor. You’ll need to schedule an advising appointment with an advisor from your major advising group. Be sure to have your Alabama Transfers Guide on hand for your advising session.
To sign up for an advising session, you’ll need to include your full name, date of birth, your student number and your email address. Remember, if you don’t have your student number, you can email your full name and date of birth to studentservices@snead.edu, and we’ll be happy to help you!

The first official day of classes is Monday, Aug. 22nd. Courses will not show up on Blackboard before this date. On your first day, please be sure to read your syllabus thoroughly and complete your attendance verification during the first week of class.
