Next Steps

PORTAL

• Check your email: Look for a "Welcome Email" sent to the email address you used to apply through CCCStart. It will include instructions to activate your MyVCCCD portal.
• Activate your portal: Your MyVCCCD portal gives you access to registration, fee payment, course information, student email, campus news, and more.
• Activate before the link expires: Be sure to use the portal setup link before it expires. If it expires, you’ll need to contact Admissions & Records to request a new link.

Complete either the FAFSA or California Dream Act Application (CADAA) to see what financial aid you may qualify for, such as grants, work-study, the California College Promise Grant, scholarships, and student loans.
