A step-by-step guide on enrolling
Go to my.ccc.edu and use the specific student ID or portal activation instructions sent from your college.
Check your Student Aid Portal for your financial aid status. If you do not see an award, review your FAFSA or Alternative Aid Application to ensure you included the CCC you were admitted to on your financial aid application.
Follow the steps to remove your verification flag if necessary. After completing the verification steps, check your account daily for an award letter or any additional requests.
Review and accept your financial aid. In order for your aid to be applied to your account, you must accept it.
For any financial aid questions or concerns, reach out to your financial aid office, or check out CCC’s Virtual Student Services.

Once you have your schedule, review classes on Brightspace before the first day of class. Professors often post their syllabus, a welcome email, and some initial instructions for course materials, textbooks, and class codes you might need.
