CCCAPPLY Non-Credit Application

To begin Part 2 of the application process, click on Start a New Application.

Under Enrollment Information, the student will select the following:

1. Term Applying For
2. Educational Goal
3. Intended Major or Program of Study

1.Term

Select the term the student wishes to apply for from the drop-down menu.

NOTE:  it is best to have the student select the current term, in this example, this would be the Fall term.  If the student selects Spring, then changes their mind and wishes to take Fall class, their admit term will need to be adjusted by the Office of Admissions and Records office and will cause a delay in registration.

2. Educational Goal

Select an Educational Goal from the drop-down menu.

NOTE:  the selection will not affect the student’s application.

3. Intended Major or Program of Study

Select an Intended Major or Program of Study from the drop-down menu.

NOTE:  only one major can be selected during the application process.  If the student wants more than one major, be sure to select the major with the most enrollment requirements first.  For example, if the student wants Account Clerk and ESL, have the student select ESL, as there are more enrollment requirements.

When all fields are complete, click Continue.

The student will be directed to the Profile information page.

On the Profile information page, the student will need to complete the Previous Name and Current Mailing Address sections.
