College Applications
Applying to Colleges
Once you build your college list, it is time for you to start learning about the application process. There are five different types of applications you should know about when applying to college. Three of them are for colleges in California:
CCCApply can be used for nearly all California Community Colleges (CCCs).
Cal State Apply is used for all California State University (CSU) campuses.
The UC Application is used for all University of California (UC) campuses.
