Steps to enrollment

Step 1: Apply online, it’s free. You will receive a myHancock account username and password, including a student ID number, also known as an H #. You will need this information to register for classes. NOTE: Have you attended another college/university? If the answer is yes, you are required to submit all official transcripts to the Admissions and Records office.  If you are a California Dream Act student, do not complete the online admissions application; complete a paper admissions application and an AB 540 Non-Resident Exempt waiver.  Both documents are available at our Admissions and Records office (Admissions and Records Office ext. 3248).

Step 2: Take the placement test (START). Your reading, writing, and math skills will be assessed. Check out the START study guide before you test. No appointment is necessary. Know your student ID# and bring a photo ID. For assessment hours, visit the Testing Center website (Testing Center ext. 3364).

Step 3: Apply for financial aid - it's free (www.fafsa.ed.gov). All students are encouraged to apply.  By completing the FAFSA, you may also qualify for the BOG, which will waive your enrollment fees.  Check your Financial Aid Status for requirements/updates in myHancock. California Dream Act students need to complete the Dream Act Application
(dream casac.ca.gov).  The application will also determine if you qualify for the BOG  
(Financial Aid Office ext. 3200).

Step 4: Register online for the New Student Orientation. Learn about student services, college success tips, and other “need to know” information (Counseling Department ext. 3293).

Step 5: Attend an Academic Advising Workshop. You will meet with a counselor who will assist you in understanding your assessment results and help you select your first semester classes. All new students are required to attend the workshop in order to schedule a future appointment with a counselor (Counseling Department ext. 3293).

Step 6: Register for classes. Log onto your myHancock account and verify your registration date under your “Student” tab (Admissions and Records Office ext. 3248).

Step 7: Pay for your enrollment fees. BOG recipients are still responsible for additional fees. If you do not pay your fees by the deadline, you will be dropped from your classes (Cashiers ext. 3626).
