Whether you're attending college for the first time, returning to continue your education, transferring, or exploring a new career, CCSF is here to help you get started. Beginning Sept. 22, CCSF is transitioning to CCCStart, California Community Colleges' new enrollment experience designed to make getting started simpler, clearer and more student-friendly.
As part of this transition, you'll notice "Apply" is being replaced with "Start" across the CCSF website. As an open-access California Community College, this language better reflects the process. You're not applying to see if you'll be accepted. You're taking the first step toward enrolling and reaching your goals at CCSF.
Already enrolled at CCSF? Nothing changes for you. You do not need to start a new application or take any action. CCCStart is primarily for new students and students returning after more than a year away. When it's time to begin your journey at CCSF, just Start.
Applying to City College of San Francisco is easier than ever through California Community Colleges' new enrollment experience, designed to make getting started simpler, clearer, and more student-friendly. The updated process helps guide you from application to enrollment so you can focus on reaching your goals.
Find your Path Before you Enroll
Your major is more than a line on an enrollment form, it's the direction your CCSF journey will take. Whether you already know exactly what you want to study or you're still weighing your options, a little research now saves you time later.
