Apply and Enroll

We are here to help you! Please follow the below steps, and if at any time you need help, reach out to our Academic Counselor, Gwyer Schuyler, for support.

1. Apply to SBCC
  • Completing an SBCC application is the first step to getting started in the HIT/CIM Program.
  • There is no separate application for any of our HIT/CIM programs.
  • After you apply to the college, you can then apply for Financial Aid.

2. Log Into the Campus Portal, Look up your Student ID Number, Look up Your Registration Appointment Time, and Check for Holds
  • Within one hour, you will be able to log into , the student registration system. Follow the instructions HERE to log in for the first time.
  • Once you have logged into the campus portal, click the Student tab, then go to 'Registration', then to 'Check Your Pre-Registration Requirements and Registration Appointment' (your student ID number is listed along with your name on the right hand side of the screen).
  • This screen will show you whether you have holds on your registration (see below) as well as the earliest date and time that you will be able to register.
  • Registration dates are posted in late October for Spring registration and in late March for Summer/Fall registration.
  • Depending on the information on your application, you may be subject to holds on your registration. To clear the holds, you will need to do the following:         
    • ORIENTATION HOLD: Complete Online Orientation. After completing Orientation, if you have no other holds, proceed to the next step below.
    • CLASS PLANNING HOLD: Review our Courseload Guidelines and decide on how many units you want to enroll in. Email Gwyer at gschuyler@pipeline.sbcc.edu and let her know how many units you want to take, and then she will build you a first semester plan (which will clear the hold).
 
3. Ordering Official Transcripts if you have previously attended college.
  • If you are pursuing an Associate's degree, order official transcripts from all colleges attended following these instructions.
  • If you are pursuing a Certificate, we only require official transcripts if there is specific coursework that applies to Certificate requirements - please follow these instructions.
  • In addition to ordering official transcripts, to expedite the evaluation, you can email unofficial transcripts to Gwyer (see step #5).
 
4. If you have a disability, contact the Disability Services office

You may be eligible for additional support in class as well as early priority registration dates to enroll. Visit the Disability Services and Programs for Students (DSPS) webpage to learn more.

 
5. Reach out to our Academic Counselor for Help Selecting Classes

3) when you would like to start (Summer, Fall or Spring);
4) how many units you want to take each Fall and Spring;
