Steps to Become a CCSF Student

You are a New Credit Student if you have never attended CCSF before.

CCSF Credit Admission Application

Before You Start Your Application

  • Collect the names and dates (month and year) of all high schools and colleges attended.
  • Have a valid email address ready, one that you check frequently. This is where we will send follow-up information about your application. If you do not have one, we recommend that you create an email account prior to applying.
  • (If applicable) Have your permanent resident card ready.

After You Submit Your Application

  • Be sure to check your email regularly. You will get a welcome email confirmation after you submit your application containing very important information. This message will be sent to the email address you provided when you applied for admission. If you do not receive an email confirmation with your student identification number from CCSF with 72 hours, please contact the main Admissions office: admit@ccsf.edu or 415-452-5101.
  • Once you have been assigned a CCSF Identification number and RAM ID (provided in your Welcome Email), you will need to log into in order to enroll for classes and view other important information.
  • Before you can register for classes, you must complete the entire enrollment steps.  
  • If you have questions about your application, contact our Admissions and Records Office at 415-452-5101 or admit@ccsf.edu.
