Semester Information

Transcript Info

All transcripts are required for you to be unconditionally admitted to Calhoun, and you must have unconditional admission status before you can utilize Financial Aid or other benefits.

If you are beginning at Calhoun as a First Time Freshman, you will need to make sure that you have requested your final high school transcript, or provide a valid GED certificate. 
To be considered an official high school transcript, it must show a posted graduation date from a public, private, or home school program equivalent to the Alabama High School Diploma, as defined by the Alabama State Board of Education. 

If you have previously attended other colleges or universities, you will need to request that all of those transcripts are sent to Calhoun, in addition to your high school transcript. 
*Note: If you have previously earned a degree in college, your high school transcript is not required.

Placement Testing 

Before you can begin with an English or Math course, you will need to have an appropriate placement score on file. There are multiple options for proper placement, which include: 
+Official HS transcript with appropriate GPA and Math/English grades. 
+ACT report with appropriate scores listed.
+Placement Testing on site here at Calhoun.

All scores must be within the last five years. If you are unsure about your grades or where you place, schedule an appointment with advising to discuss your options.

If you need to schedule a placement test, the button below will assist you with that. For English placement, you will need to complete the Writeplacer, and for Math placement, you will need to complete the Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics test.

Both the Decatur and Huntsville campus have a testing center, however, if you require a virtual placement test, please schedule a time to meet with an advisor so they can assist you with scheduling that.

New Student Information

Before you are able to view your required classes, register for those classes, or access any of your other student records, you first need to be able to access your MyCalhoun Experience portal. 

Your username for the portal will always be your A#@alabama.edu

In addition to your username, you will also need to set up a password. To do so, a Claim Code has been emailed to the email address that you used to submit your application. 

Once you have located that code in your emails, you will need to go to: password.alabama.edu to "claim" your student account (aka create your own password). Once this is done, you will be able to sign in to the MyCalhoun Experience portal.

You will access your MyCalhoun Experience portal often, so please write down/remember your password. 

If you have trouble setting any of this up, you can contact our IT Help Desk: helpdesk@calhoun.edu

If you have more questions about any of this, click the button below for more information!
