Wait 72 hours for your application to be processed and you will receive a automated Welcome Letter with your 7-digit SJCC ID # via email. If you do not receive an automated email within 72 hours, please contact Admissions & Records with your full name, DOB, and SJCC Confirmation #.

In preparation for your first day, we recommend gathering the following information:

• Get your Class Schedule ready. Make sure you know what time your classes start and the location of each class. Check your email for any important information from your instructor.
• Log onto Canvas. You should see the class(es) you signed up for on your Canvas dashboard by the first day of class.
• Plan to arrive on time! The first day of classes can be crowded, so leave earlier than expected if you are coming to campus.
• Assess the parking situation. If driving to campus, take a look at the campus map to get familiar with SJCC! Click here for more information about parking. 
• Pick up a VTA Smart Pass. Students can get a VTA Smart Pass for $6.50 per semester (5 units or less) or $11.00 per semester (6+ units). Stop by the Welcome Center in the Student Center to get a VTA Eco Pass.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our team.
