Applying to college can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone! The College & Career Center is here to support you throughout the application process. Whether you're applying to a community college, CSU, UC, private college, or out-of-state university, we're here to help every step of the way.

Step 1: Create your CaliforniaColleges.edu account

San Leandro High School students will use CaliforniaColleges.edu as their primary college and career planning platform. Through their CaliforniaColleges.edu account, students can access college applications for UCs, CSUs, California Community Colleges, and participating out-of-state colleges, as well as financial aid applications and resources.

CaliforniaColleges.edu also allows students to explore colleges and careers, research majors, build and save a college list, compare different postsecondary options, and keep track of their plans for life after high school.

We encourage students to begin with CaliforniaColleges.edu when they are ready to explore their options, apply to college, or complete their financial aid application.
