Steps to Apply and Register

STEPS to APPLY and REGISTER for CREDIT COURSES

To ensure a smooth and successful start at Citrus College, carefully review and follow steps one through 10 outlined below for credit courses. These instructions will guide you through the enrollment process and help you determine which path best fits your educational goals.

IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT
International students seeking credit admission should review the international application on the International Student Center's site before completing the international student application. Once admitted, international students are eligible to register for both credit and noncredit courses.

IF YOU ARE A NONCREDIT STUDENT
If you plan to take only noncredit classes (zero-unit or "free" courses), refer to the Noncredit Admission and Class Registration page for the appropriate process.

Please note that credit students may enroll in both credit and noncredit courses, while noncredit students may enroll in noncredit courses only.

STEP 1. APPLY FOR ADMISSION AND FINANCIAL AID

STEP 2. COLLEGE TRANSCRIPTS

​It is recommended that all official transcripts are on file prior to each registration period and before you schedule an appointment with a counselor or educational advisor.

You may send official transcripts electronically, via email to admissions@citruscollege.edu or by mail to the mailing address:

Admissions and Records
Citrus College
1000 W. Foothill Blvd.
​Glendora, CA 91741

Foreign transcripts must be evaluated by an approved transcript evaluation service. Seek advice from a counselor prior to evaluating foreign transcripts.

STEP 3. STUDENT EMAIL ACCOUNT AND WELCOME LETTER

STEP 4. GUIDED SELF-PLACEMENT FOR ENGLISH AND MATH

Citrus College uses a guided placement method where placement into English and math is based upon self-reported high school GPA and the last math course completed in high school with a "C-" or better. All applicants receive an email with their placement into English and math.

Students who took English and/or math at another college and who plan to take an English or math course can use an unofficial transcripts to clear English and/or math prerequisites by submitting the Prerequisite Clearance Form online to the admissions and records office or meet in-person with a counselor for proper placement.

Students with questions about their placement should meet with a counselor. Students without high school data on the application receive the following placements, which provide direct access to transfer-level English and math:

English

English as a Second Language (ESL)

Math

STEP 5. REQUIRED NEW STUDENT ORIENTATION

Students applying to Citrus College MUST complete the New Student Orientation. Priority registration consideration may be forfeited if the New Student Orientation is not completed by the deadline dates.

It is recommended to complete the orientation by the deadline dates below for priority registration consideration:

Students can complete the New Student Orientation online.​ After completing the orientation, students must then complete a Student Education Plan (SEP).

Students who believe they are exempt or would like to read about procedures for challenging matriculation regulatory provisions can refer to the college catalog​.​​

STEP 6. STUDENT EDUCATION PLAN (SEP)

​​​The Student Education Plan (SEP) is a roadmap of courses that align with your identified program of study and is required for participation in many programs at the college.

After completing the New Student Orientation, a SEP for your first semester can be completed by scheduling an individual 30-minute counseling appointment or attending a SEP workshop.

The SEP workshop is recommended for students with less than 15 college units.
