High school students

It's a perfect time to start thinking about what you want to study. You can even get a head start on college and enroll in community college classes while still in high school. Ask your counselor for help matching your interests with a major and career path to select the classes you need.

Community College Students

If you plan to continue your studies at a four-year university, schedule an appointment with a counselor at your college's transfer center. Create a step-by-step plan to meet your educational goals on your timeline.

Veterans

Community college helps returning veterans make a smooth and affordable transition from military service into the highly competitive job market. Military service may even qualify you to earn credit for prior learning.

Foster Youth

Every community college campus has a foster youth liaison to help support students throughout their educational journey. And, with the NextUp program, the colleges also offer eligible current and former foster youth support and services that could include help with books, transportation, tutoring, housing and more.
