As you may know, public higher education in California is facing drastic budget reductions for the third year in a row. Even though we have struggled through three years of drastic budget cuts, the Counseling Department is committed to meeting the educational needs of our students.  As a result of the budget situation, the number of available counseling appointments has been greatly reduced.  Please observe the following admission and counseling procedures:

Step #1 - Apply Online

Visit the Admissions & Records web pages for information about transcripts, residency, cost, high school student admissions, international student admissions and veterans. 

Step #2 - Send Your Transcripts to Cuyamaca College

Official transcripts are needed to clear prerequisites, and to award prior credit for degrees and certificates, this includes all AP, or IB credit. 

Cuyamaca College accepts credit only from institutions accredited by one of the six regional accrediting associations.
 

Step #3 - Attend Assessment, Orientation & New Student Advising - All Assessment, Orientation Sessions Are FULL at Cuyamaca College.  Sessions will be offered for Summer term beginning in April, 2012.  However, you may still register for classes.

Sign up for Cuyamaca Assessment Appointment on WebAdvisor.  This appointment will include the orientation and advising information and is your only contact with a counselor prior to the beginning of the term.  Please return to the Counseling Center after the semester has begun to make an appointment with a counselor for further educational planning.  If you have any follow up questions after attending the Assessment/Orientation session, please utilize Ask A Counselor, our convenient online web counseling service.

There is a limited number of Assessment Appointments available.  Once they are filled, we encourage students to take the necessary steps to prepare for the next semester by registering for an Assessment Appointment during the next cycle.

New students who have transcripts from other colleges may see a counselor by appointment.  You must bring copies of your transcripts with you to the appointment.  The counselor will provide you with an unofficial evaluation of your course work and clear any prerequisites.  Please call the Counseling Center for an appointment, and specify that you are transferring in from another college.  Make sure you either bring copies of these transcripts with you to the appointment, or confirm with the Admission and Records Office that your transcripts have arrived and have been processed. 619-660-4429. 

Step #4 - Register and Pay Fees

Register for classes online via WebAdvisor.  Your registration is not complete until your fees are paid.  You are responsible for all appropriate fees.  Students are dropped for non-payment of fees.
