ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
An application is required for admission to SRJC. If you plan to register for courses that require significant mathematics, reading, or writing, placement by high school records, or completion of the guided self-placement activity can be very useful for you. Assessment for placement is a central part of the college orientation program.
STUDENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER/ SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
SRJC uses a Student Identification number (SID), replacing the use of a Social Security number as the primary identifier for students.
SRJC continues to collect Social Security numbers, as they are necessary for financial aid recipients, federal tax credits, and state data reporting. The new SID number is printed on all SRJC documents and records.
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN)
For added security, students are required to establish a Personal Identification Number (PIN) upon initial logon to the Student Portal.
Once a PIN has been established, students will need to provide their PIN when using Web Link or in-person enrollment services.
For security reasons, if students forget their PIN, they will need to contact the Admissions and Records Office in person on the Santa Rosa or Petaluma campuses. Please be prepared to show photo identification.
SELECTING APPROPRIATE COURSES
The course descriptions listed in alphabetical order in the back of the Catalog help to determine which courses meet your college objectives. Counselors and advisors help to answer questions regarding requirements for graduation, for transfer and occupational curricula, and to handle other matters affecting your educational plans.
