Steps to become a matriculated student:

Step 1	Complete an Admissions Application and submit it to the Office of Admissions and Records, Humanities Building, Room 42.
Step 2	Attend Orientation. Orientation is designed to provide you with a wealth of information on Contra Costa College's policies, procedures, programs, and support services that will assist you in setting up a path to success. Check with the Counseling Office for the orientation schedule.
Step 3	Assessment of new students is required in the areas of reading, writing, and math. Assessment will provide you with a realistic understanding of the student's skills in these areas. The information you receive will help in selecting courses that best match your skills and preparation.
Step 4	Attend Group Program Planning/Counseling. Upon completion of orientation and assessment, the student is ready to meet with a counselor to discuss an educational plan for the upcoming term. The Group Program Planning session helps students to understand the assessment results and the counselor(s) assist with selecting appropriate courses for the upcoming term.
Step 5	Register for courses either by calling the automated telephone registration system or in the Admissions and Records Office, located in the Humanities Building, Room 42.
