How to Become a CCC Student
- Submit your CCC application
You will receive an email confirmation from CCC admissions with your next steps. - 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, not your personal email, so check it regularly. Admissions staff may reach out requesting additional documents to complete your enrollment, so keep and eye out and respond promptly. - Apply for financial aid.
Don’t skip this step! There are several options available to help you cover the cost of your education, including the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), scholarships, and the Comet Promise. - Submit your official college transcripts
CCC will need official transcripts from all of the colleges you have attended in order to see which classes transfer. Visit the Transcripts page to learn more about submitting transcripts. - Meet with your Advisor
Your advisor will help you figure out course placement, choose your first classes, and map out a plan for your first semester. - Register for classes
Once you have your plan, you will register for classes through your student portal. - Pay tuition and fees
Make sure payment is submitted before the deadline to secure your spot in class. See more about setting up a payment plan. - Get ready for day one

Frequently asked questions
- Will my credits from another college transfer to CCC?
Many credits do transfer, but not all credits transfer the same way. Once you apply and submit your official transcripts, an advisor will review your previous coursework and help you understand what counts toward your CCC program and what courses you may still need. The sooner you get your transcripts in, the sooner you can build a plan.
- How do I send my transcripts to CCC?
Request official transcripts from every college or university you have previously attended and have them sent directly to CCC Admissions. Transcripts can typically be submitted electronically through your previous institution’s registrar or student portal. Your transcripts must be official, meaning they need to come directly from the institution, not from you. Contact CCC Admissions if you have questions about the process or need help tracking down records from a previous school. For more information, visit our transcript page.
- Do I need to reapply for financial aid?
Yes. Your financial aid eligibility is determined each year and is specific to the school you are attending. All CCC students need a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) on file to get financial aid. If you received financial aid at your previous institution in the same school year, you need to add CCC to your FAFSA. CCC also offers scholarships and the Comet Promise for eligible students, so do not assume you will not qualify before you apply.
- Will I have to start over academically?
Not necessarily. Your advisor will review your transcripts and help you figure out which classes, if any, transfer to CCC. In many cases, transfer students are able to pick up close to where they left off, sometimes with fewer requirements remaining than they expected. Come in with your official transcripts and your goals, and your advisor will help you map out the most efficient path forward.
