MATRICULATION
Matriculation is a set of services provided to all students as a means of ensuring their academic success. It is legally defined as an agreement between the college and its students. This legislation ensures that every community college student will be afforded the same opportunity for services and to achieve academic success. The college goal is to make the institution a place of easy access and success for students to achieve their educational goals and economic gain. The five components or services which create an easy step-by-step process to introduce Cypress College students to higher education are: Admissions: The information contained in the college application becomes part of the student’s official record. This office registers students and records grades, program changes, graduation, and transfer requirements. Assessment: The purpose is to gather as much information as needed on new students. Counselors review assessment scores, transcripts, current study skills, language skills, goals, majors, career aspirations, and the need for special services. Testing is necessary for a first time student if there are no previous records. Assessing student skills aids in making the best educational choices. Orientation: Students new to Cypress College prior to registration are required to attend a one and one-half hour group orientation/ counseling session. During this session the counselor will review the College Catalog, Class Schedule, services, programs, certificates, degrees, majors, general college procedures, and college
