How to Apply For Admission

Students who are enrolling for the first time or who are returning after an absence or one or more semesters must complete an admission’s application prior to the start of registration. Applications may be completed online at: www.cerritos.edu.
After enrolling, you will receive a student number (no cost or obligation).
Once you have a current student number, you may then go to the MyCerritos link at
www.cerritos.edu to enroll in classes (when the registration period is opened prior to each session.)

Requirement for state licensing – High School diploma or GED

Counseling

All new, returning, and transfer students seeking academic degrees or certificates must see a counselor for course approval prior to registration. It is advisable to complete assessment requirements before seeing a counselor. If you are going through the court reporting and captioning program solely to prepare for a state license, national certification, or for vocational job skills to go to work and you are NOT seeking to get an AA degree, a College issued Certificate of Achievement, or seeking to transfer to a four-year university, in that specific instance you are NOT required to see a counselor prior to registering for classes in the Court Reporting and Captioning Careers program and you are not then required to take assessment tests in order to register. Likewise, if you are seeking a department-issued certificate and not a college issued certificate, you are not required to see a counselor prior to registering for classes.

Prior to registration, counselors are available on a walk-in basis. It is advisable to make an appointment with the following counselor before coming in:

Advisory counselor: Dr. Adolph Johnson (Court Reporting Counselor)

Appointment Desk: 562.860.2451, Ext. 2231
