Follow the steps below to apply and enroll at SMC.
Apply to SMC
Create an OpenCCC account first. You will need a real email address. If you already have an OpenCCC account, just login. Complete and submit your application. Check your email after you have applied. Your SMC ID number and two emails will be sent by Admissions & Records within the hour with further instructions (check junk mail if you did not receive it).
Apply for Financial Aid
