If you never attended Skyline College, College of San Mateo, or Cañada College (New student) or if you have not been in attendance during the past academic year (Former student), you need to complete an Application for Admission.

Complete an application for admission as soon as possible. Applications are processed in the order in which they are received. Incomplete applications are returned unprocessed, resulting in a delay in your admission to the College, and reduce the possibility of enrollment in your desired courses. See the New Student checklist.

Once your application has been accepted by the Office of Admission, you will be sent notification regarding counseling, placement testing, and orientation sessions available before your registration date.

Veterans: Submit Form DD-214 to the Office of Admissions and Records to receive educational benefits.
