For companies seeking Education Verifications for former San Diego Miramar College Students please submit your request to  MiramarEvaluations@sdccd.edu with a student signed release of information.

Application is a two-part process. Please be aware of application deadlines to receive priority enrollment.

Get started by clicking here.

The first step is creating your CCCApply account. This is a state-wide application platform that will make it easy for you to apply or re-apply to any California Community College. 

CCCApply Account Creation Image

 

As CCCApply is not operated by the San Diego Community College District we are limited in the support that we can offer. If you have any trouble with the CCCApply portion of the application or need help accessing your CCCApply account you can contact CCCApply support.

Once you have completed your CCCApply account you will receive an alpha-numeric ID number. This is not your Student ID number. Click to continue to the San Diego Miramar College Application.

Once you've completed both steps you will receive multiple emails within a couple of hours providing you with your 10-digit Student ID and steps to create your mySDCCD Account.
