Admissions
Students must demonstrate residency (minimum one-year in state of CA) to attend at in-state tuition prices. Otherwise, out-of-state prices will apply. Students can complete the application for admission online. High school students may attend classes with school approval.
Proof of high school diploma or GED/Home School equivalence must be demonstrated by students to receive college credit. After the application is received, students will be required to take assessment tests to determine class placement and course of study. Once these steps take place, students will go to an orientation session and enroll in courses.
Financial Aid
Financial aid is available to all students who qualify under the federal guidelines. The first step to financial aid awards is completing the FAFSA online. Afterwards, students will be asked to complete a Financial Aid Data Sheet. Applications will be accepted after January 1st and the deadline for California grants falls in early March. Other awards may have deadlines earlier in the year, so students are encouraged to observe all dates carefully.
Federal and state grants (not requiring repayment) may be awarded to students with need. In some cases, supplemental grants can help pay for living expenses. Student and parent loans with deferred interest, along with Work Study jobs, may also be available to students who qualify.

Local Community
Located just outside of the Joshua Tree National Park area, the campus is set in a very interesting environment. Plenty of opportunities for hiking and sightseeing exist just off campus. There is also a tortoise sanctuary right near the center of campus, which had forced the college to change its plans for the athletic and fitness center.
