Veteran or Military Student

1. Apply for your veteran educational benefits.
   Before you apply to CCC, start the process of accessing the benefits you have earned.  If you are unsure which benefits apply to you, our Veterans Services team can help you figure that out before you take your next step.
2. Submit your CCC application.
   Applying is free, simple, and quick. Once you submit, watch for a confirmation email from Admissions and Enrollment Services with your next steps.
3. Set up your student account.
   You will receive instructions by email on how to activate your CCC student account. Once it is active, all future communication from CCC will go to your student email, so check it regularly. Admissions staff may reach out requesting additional documents to complete your enrollment, so keep an eye out and respond promptly.
4. Apply for financial aid.
   Do not skip this step. In addition to your veteran educational benefits, there may be additional options available to help cover the cost of your education, including the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), scholarships, and the Comet Promise.
5. Meet with your advisor.
   Your advisor will help you figure out course placement, choose your first classes, and build a plan for your first semester. One important note: most veteran educational benefits require enrollment in a degree-eligible program, so your advisor will make sure your plan meets that requirement.
6. Register for classes.
   Once you have your plan, register through your student portal.
7. Pay your tuition and fees.
   Make sure payment is submitted before the deadline to secure your spot in class. If your benefits are still processing, contact Student Accounts about deferment options.
8. Get ready for day one.
