New Students

Embark, Apply, Enroll

Let’s Get Started

Welcome to CCCC. Your Education Navigator will help you through the admissions and enrollment process.

Begin by taking the Embark: Career Interest Inventory survey to match your career interests to a CCCC program. From there, start your application with the guidance of an Education Navigator. 

What’s an Education Navigator?

Education Navigators provide holistic, one-on-one support to students while they navigate the admissions and onboarding process. They also assist students in meeting their academic and career goals.  

Your Education Navigator will review the results of your Embark Assessment, help you choose a Career Community or program, set up your academic plan, and register for first-semester courses. In your first semester, Education Navigators will introduce you to your faculty advisor who will support you throughout the rest of your CCCC experience.  Your Education Navigator will also recommend continuing education or short-term, workforce classes if those may better fit your career goals.

What is a Career Community?

Career communities engage networks of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and employers to help you define your interests, choose your program of study, and advance your goals in specific fields. Each career community provides you with skills, knowledge, and opportunities to pursue rewarding careers and connections to people on the same path.

Career communities at CCCC foster a sense of belonging to support you through each stage of your professional development as you work towards an associate degree, diploma, certificate, or certification, as well as your professional life beyond. You will have the chance to explore jobs, attend social events, and connect with others in your career community.
