First you need to create a CCC account and Register for Cabrillo for Summer & Fall by going here
  • There are two applications, one for creating your CCC Account and right after you'll be taken to a page to register for Cabrillo College. 
  • Important:
    • Please be sure to indicate that you will be a "First Time Student in College (After Leaving High School) " and that you put your school as San Lorenzo Valley High School.
    • Also, use your personal email, not your school one.
    • Read any emails from Cabrillo. If there is an issue with your application, they will email you with information.
 
After you submit your registration application, it will take 2-3 days for Cabrillo to email you with your Student ID #. Once you have this ID, you can proceed to the next Steps.
 
In order to qualify for Priority Registration, you need to have at least one class planned for the Fall
