Step 2: Apply for Financial Aid

You might qualify for free tuition, work-study programs that allow you to work on campus, or low-interest financial aid loans. It's always worth applying.

If you are a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident, use the FAFSA application (opens in a new tab).

Step 3: Meet with a Counselor

Meet with an academic advisor prior to re-registering for classes to create your Comprehensive Educational Plan. Your advisor will help you create a direct plan towards completing your associate degree. Having a clear path will allow you to explore your options, graduate faster, and avoid taking unnecessary classes.

Academic advisors can also help with a number of other topics like career exploration, transfer applications, transcript evaluations, personal matters, and much more.

If you have completed any course work at other accredited institutions, submit any previous official transcripts for evaluation. Submitting your official transcripts from prior institutions will ensure that you are credited for any prerequisites or course work already completed.

CCCApply Verification

To apply to LTCC or other California Community Colleges, students use the CCCApply online system. When students create or log in to a CCCApply account, they may be prompted to verify their identity through ID.me or the CA DMV Wallet. We recommend that all new and returning adult students complete this ID verification before submitting their application. Skipping the verification step could result in your application being flagged as spam, which may delay admissions or access to financial aid.

As noted on the CCCApply website, "some students might have trouble verifying their identity with a third party like ID.me if someone doesn't have a permanent address, social security number, or taxpayer number, if there are issues with identity theft, if someone is under 18 years old, or some other reason." Applicants under 18 will be reviewed and verified using a separate process.

If your application is marked as SPAM, please return to your CCCApply account to verify your identity. Once logged in, select the "Edit My Account" button then select Verify with ID.me Now or Verify with CA DMV Wallet. Please reach out to Enrollment Services once you have verified your identity.

• Support for CA DMV Wallet: Visit the CA DMV Wallet Help Center (opens in a new tab)
• Support for ID.me: Visit the ID.me Help Center (opens in a new tab) or CCCHelp.info (opens in a new tab)
