High school students: Check with your school counselor to find out if the placement assessment will be offered at your high school campus.
You may retrieve a California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request at the Admissions & Records (A&R) office, located in A-300, or on the Admissions & Records webpage.
Bring Unofficial High School Transcripts with you. You may request your unofficial transcript in your high school’s counseling office.
Note: If you are applying early and have not yet graduated you MUST submit a letter, on official letterhead, from your high school counselor or principal, verifying that you are set to graduate. Once your graduation status is posted, a new transcript or diploma must be submitted to A&R.
This online advising can be accessed by logging into Self-Service. This interactive virtual advising session will assist you in creating your initial educational plan.
Search for desired courses and register for classes on or after your assigned registration
date using Self-Service.
(Between January 1st and March 2nd each year) The Dream Act may be completed by undocumented students who meet AB540 criteria.
Once your application is submitted, it will be forwarded to the Cuyamaca College Financial Aid department to determine your eligibility for the California College Promise Grant (CCPG) and Cal Grant. Apply for CCPG using Self-Service located in the student menu under Cuyamaca Financial Aid.
Pay any fees due within 10 days of registration to avoid risk of being dropped for
non-payment.

may be dropped.
