New Student Transferring From Another College
If you have attended another college, especially another community college, you must:

  • Bring a copy of your official transcript to Counseling and meet with a counselor.  If you completed a prerequisite outside of SAC, you may be restricted from telephone registration. OBTAIN A CLASS WAIVER FROM A COUNSELOR FOR ALL PRE-REQUISITES TAKEN OUTSIDE OF THE RSCCD DISTRICT. 

  • Bring any official copies of placement test results in English, reading, and /or math to the Santa Ana College Testing Center to determine whether it is advisable to complete additional placement testing. Placement test information from other colleges must include: your name, name of the test(s), the raw scores(s), and test date(s).  Test scores for English are valid for two years.  Test scores for Math are valid for one year.

  • Make an appointment to see a counselor by calling the Santa Ana College Counseling Center at (714) 564-6100.

  • Bring an official copy of your transcripts from other colleges and official copies of any placement test results.

High School Students in Career Advanced Placement Program (CAP)
CAP form for K-12 students.  A significant portion of the Rancho Santiago Community College District curriculum is available to supplement programs of high school students recommended by their counselors.  Contact your high school counseling office for details.  Placement tests for Math and English are required! CAP forms need the signatures of the the Principal and parent. Also, a dean's signature is required for each course Click here for a list of Division Deans. 
NOTE
: Please print and complete three copies of this form. 

CAP students with a principal's recommendation and parent's signature must register in person. Bring a copy of the CAP Form with you to the registration site.  YOU CAN ONLY REGISTER IN PERSON.  Due to a new state law CAP students who wish to take classes at a community college must be assigned a low enrollment priority so as not to displace regularly admitted students.

New Student
You are a new student if you have never enrolled in college credit classes at Santa Ana College.
 
New students receive appointments to register on a first-come, first-served basis. All new students to SAC are encouraged to complete matriculation services (testing, orientation, and advisement).  Upon completing testing, students will be given an appointment to attend an orientation and advisement session with a counselor.  Students will receive their test results and their appointment to register after completing orientation and advisement.  See the Placement Testing Schedule for further information.
