New, Active and Returning Students
You’ve been admitted to Palomar College – now what? Our steps to enroll breaks down the enrollment process, step-by-step.
The process is generally the same for all new incoming students and the application is free. There are slightly different procedures for Athletics, Camp Pendleton, Disability Resource Center, Dual Enrollment or Concurrent Enrollment (Under 18), Nursing, Palomar Promise, Police Academy and Veterans
Are you continuing to take classes from the previous semester (took classes in the previous two semester), then you do not need to update your application at this time.
Have you applied to or attended Palomar College within the last two semesters? If the answer is no, then you will simply sign into your CCCApply Application and update your application. You will want to double-check that your name and address is correct and you may need to update your program of study/major.
