Campus ID Card production is located at the Admissions & Records Office. A student ID card is necessary for access to the library, computer labs, and other support services. You must be enrolled in at least one course to obtain a student ID card.

Note: This is different from your Student ID number. This is your physical card.

The Office of Admissions & Records determines the residency status of new and returning students using the information provided during the college entry process and any supporting documents requested afterward.

Why it matters: Non-resident students pay additional per-unit tuition and a capital outlay fee on top of the regular enrollment fee and other applicable term fees. Current rates are listed under Fees & Costs above.

Think you should be a California resident? Review the residency requirements and appeal process if needed.

Prerequisites are courses or preparation levels you must complete before enrolling in certain classes. If you completed prerequisites at Fullerton or Cypress College, they clear automatically. If completed elsewhere, contact the counseling office.
