All students must start here.

When you click Apply Now, you鈥檒l be taken to CCC Apply, the official application system for all 116 California Community Colleges.

What happens in this step:

• You create a CCC Apply profile (this is required for any CA community college)
• You receive a CCC ID (Note: this is NOT your Foothill ID)

Important: A CCC ID contains letters and numbers. This ID cannot be used to register for classes or access Foothill services.

Due to statewide fraud prevention requirements, most students must complete identity verification before moving forward.

You鈥檒l be asked to verify your identity using one of these options:

• ID.me
• DMV Wallet

This step may include:

• Taking a photo of your ID
• Taking a short selfie or video using your camera

You must complete identity verification to continue your application.

Once verification is complete, you should be automatically directed to the Foothill College application.

After completing CCC Apply and identity verification, you鈥檒l submit your 海角社区 application.

What happens next:

• Foothill receives your application
• Within 1鈥�24 hours, you鈥檒l receive a 海角社区 ID (CWID) 

NOTE: If you don鈥檛 receive anything during the first 24 hours, please contact the Admissions and Records Office.

Your 海角社区 ID (CWID)

• 8-digit number
• Numbers only (no letters)
• This is the ID you鈥檒l use to:
  • Register for classes
  • Access student services
  • Make counseling appointments

Don鈥檛 confuse your CCC ID with your CWID鈥攖hey are different.
