How to Start Your Community College Application

Are you thinking about enrolling in a California community college? You’re in the right place. In this post, Vanessia from the TecoGuide team shares practical, pro-level advice to help you start your California Community College application with confidence using CCCApply.org.

Step 1: Go to CCCApply.org

The application process begins by visiting the official California Community Colleges application portal: CCCApply.org. This centralized site is where you will create a secure account to access applications for any of California’s 100+ community colleges.

Step 2: Create Your CCCApply Account

Once on the site, your first step is to create a user account. This account will allow you to:

- Submit applications to one or more community colleges

- Track application status

- Receive your student identification number (student ID)

Creating an account is free and takes just a few minutes.

Step 3: Select and Apply to Colleges

After your account is set up, you’ll choose which California community college(s) you want to apply to. You can apply to one or several schools—just be sure you’ve researched which ones fit your academic or career goals.

Once you submit your application, you’re almost done! In most cases, you will receive an email within a few hours with your student ID number, a critical piece of information you’ll need to access your student portal, register for classes, and access college services.

Step 4: Didn’t Get Your Student ID? Here’s What to Do

If, for any reason, you don’t receive your student ID number, don’t panic. You should contact the college directly. Typically, this issue is handled by the Student Administration and Records Office at the college you applied to.

To find the right contact information:

- Visit the college’s official website

- Use the site search to look for "Student Administration and Records"

- Reach out via phone or email to request your student ID

Promptly resolving this will ensure you stay on track with your enrollment steps.
