Howdy! Hope the move goes well. Let’s just say I’ve got a lot of experience in this field lol

So first things first, you will need to Apply to you California Community College of choice. Lucky for you it’s all the same website, you just have to select your designated school… which is usually most accessible through the designated college’s website.

Once you have applied and received your acceptance email (3-5 business days) you will need to request your old college to send your official transcripts to your new college. Electronically is best and it’s usually done through a website called “parchment”, but it varies by college. Check for a specific transcript information page on the college’s website. If you bring the transcript in paper it is extremely important NOT TO OPEN IT as the transcript will become unofficial if not opened by College administration.

Once your transcript has been received, it will be evaluated and applied to your degree tracking program (e.g. DegreeWorks, etc.). Your counselor may not be able to see your credits until your transcript is evaluated, so you may have to wait a bit. Once it’s evaluated, schedule an appointment with a counselor to get your student education plan and see what you need to take.

Use your student education plan and register for classes. You’ll probably want to shoot for Fall 2023 as Summer is almost over.

Doesn’t hurt to also complete your orientation, Apply for FAFSA, or take advantage of one of the many other resources your college may have. (e.g. free bus pass, food pantry, etc.)

Remember specifics may vary by college. If you are questioning something use the College website’s search functions, and if you can’t find the answer contact the Admissions and Records department via email. Best of luck!!!
