High School Seniors

If your high school completion date is before June and you are applying for the summer or fall semester, then enter the information on your application as if you have already graduated. Please note the “as of” dates outlined throughout the application.

Selecting a Major/Goal

If you're unsure what you want to study, explore careers with PathwayU – a free tool for students to explore where their interests, values, personality, and workplace preferences intersect with career fields and programs of study available at Los Rios Community College District. Start by completing the simple PathwayU assessments and see where the results take you!

Students who select "undecided" as their major/goal are not eligible for financial aid. We encourage you to select what you are most interested in right now.

Students Must Reside in California

Students who are not physically located in California may not enroll in online courses offered by Los Rios Community College District. Los Rios Community College District is not authorized to provide education outside the boundaries of the State of California.

The FAFSA is the gateway to most federal and state financial aid opportunities for US citizens, permanent residents, and eligible non-citizens, including:

• State and federal grants and fee waivers
• Assistance programs such as EOPS, CARE, and CalWORKs
• Work-study
• Loans
• Scholarships

If you are not a US Citizen, then you may be eligible for the California Dream Act. You can submit the California Dream Act Application (CADAA) if you meet the non-resident exemption requirements under AB 540, AB 2000, or SB 68, and any of the following are true:

• You are undocumented.
• You have a valid or expired DACA status.
• You are a U Visa holder.
• You have Temporary Protected Status (TPS).

After your application is processed, you will receive an email with your Los Rios student ID number (also known as a "W" number or "wID"). This is a seven-digit number with a preceding "W"; for example, W0000001.

You will use your Los Rios ID and password to log in to multiple services, including Canvas, eServices, Los Rios Gmail, and instructional lab computers.

Students who submit an application without a social security number (SSN) should contact the Admissions and Records Office at the college to which they applied to expedite the processing of their application:

• For American River College, email admissions@arc.losrios.edu.
• For Cosumnes River College, fill out the CRC Student ID Help Form.
• For Folsom Lake College, call (916) 608-6501 or email admissions@flc.losrios.edu.
• For Sacramento City College, fill out the SCC Student ID Help Form.

You will be assigned an enrollment appointment, which is the earliest date and time you can enroll in classes. You can find your enrollment appointment in eServices.

You can enroll in classes at multiple Los Rios colleges. To do this, log in to eServices and follow these steps:

1. Click Manage Classes.
2. Click Add Another College.
3. Follow the instructions to add the college where you want to take classes for the selected term.

Your tuition and fees are due soon after you enroll in classes. You may be dropped if your fees are not paid by the fee payment deadline. This is true even if you enroll in a class that starts later in the semester.

You can see how much you owe in eServices. From your dashboard, click Financial Account, then Account Balance.
