Enrollment Steps
SMC will receive your admission application only if you verify your identity. Verify your identity when you create your CCCApply/OpenCCC account.
- All adult applicants must verify their identity before their application can be processed.
- If you choose "Verify Later," your admission application will be placed on hold until you complete the verification process.
- You can complete your identity verification at any time by signing in to your OpenCCC account.
- If you are unable to verify your identity online, visit the Admissions & Records Office with a valid photo ID, and staff can verify your identity in person.
- Completing your identity verification before submitting your application is the fastest way to avoid processing delays.
Please see the Get Verified page for more information on the process, and your options.
Most applications are verified within an hour.
