New Students: Here's What You Need to Know!

New Student Registration Information            Class Schedule (CRCC)

Getting Started!            Getting a Machine! ........Online speed classes

The first thing you need to do is become a Cerritos College student.  To do that, you must enroll at the college.  On the main web page, www.cerritos.edu, follow the links for "new students" to apply to the college.  You should then receive a student number via email within approximately two days.  (You can also go directly to the Admissions Office or complete an application by mail.)  Now that you have a student no., you will be able to (follow the instructions to take the assessment tests and complete the counseling orientation *see the "getting started" link for more detail) then get an appointment to register for classes when registration is open for the term you are applying for.  You will either receive a letter in the mail with your "appointment to register" date (anytime thereafter), or you should also be able to see your registration date once they are assigned by going to www.cerritos.edu/  and clicking on "MyCerritos" and logging in.  That is also how you will actually register for classes if you do so online.  You will need the section no. for your class (see Getting Started).  All students MUST pay for their classes and waitlist classes within 7 days of registering or you will be dropped from the class automatically.  You may pay your fees online through the MyCerritos system.  Even if you were a prior Cerritos student, if you have not attended for one semester or more, you need to reapply.  They then will reactivate your student no. so you can proceed to register when your time comes.  If you get on a waiting list, show up for that first class for on campus classes, and contact your instructor for online classes.  

New students should also know that initially, you can start the program without having your prior transcripts sent and received by our campus.  If you decide to pursue the AA degree or college certificate, you will have to have your transcripts sent and counsel with a counselor in the counseling office for academic guidance.  
For Court Reporting Department guidance, you will be counseling with your court reporting instructors and/or department chairs.

All students begin with Theory and Theory Review. All Theory students must have a stenotype machine the first week of class. See the "getting a machine" link.
