Class B VFR


I'm hoping to make my long VFR cross-country for my commercial license this afternoon and evening (to get both day and night into one flight). I'm tentatively planning to fly into CAK which is class bravo airspace. As I was planning the flight today, I realized that I haven't flown VFR into class B in I can't remember when. I've flow IFR almost exclusively since getting the rating 14 years ago.

I know that clearance is required to enter class B, but IFR this was taken care of. I assume that the approach controllers routinely issue this clearance when your destination is field in their area, but I wanted to be sure. My plan is to request the clearance if I have received it prior to entering class B, but I'm wondering what the SOP is these days for VFR into class B.
