Who can Attend?

San José City College is dedicated to providing equal educational opportunities to all students, regardless of their immigration status. We are fully committed to supporting every student on their journey towards academic success. All courses offered by the San José-Evergreen Community College District and its colleges are open for enrollment and participation to any student admitted to the college and meet the necessary prerequisites, except in cases where the law requires exemption.

ID.me or DMV Wallet Identity Verification

Beginning August 11, 2026, applicants are required to use ID.me or DMV Wallet to verify their identity when submitting a California Community Colleges application through CCCApply. Identity verification helps protect your personal information while making the admissions and financial aid processes more secure and efficient.

Once your identity has been successfully verified, your CCCApply application for admission will be transmitted to San José City College for processing.

Please note that if your identity verification is not completed successfully, your application will not be transmitted to San José City College. If this happens, you will need to complete the verification process before we can receive and process your application.
