What Is Matriculation?
The primary purpose of matriculation is to match your skills, needs and goals to SBCC's courses, programs, and services. You will be able to make better, more informed educational choices by utilizing the services provided by matriculation.
Assessment tests are given in English, (Reading and Writing) Math, and ESL. Students who have never been to college before and students wishing to enroll in English, Math 1-150, Psychology 150, CNEE-153 and ESL are required to participate in assessment. Knowing your Math and English skills will help you make good class choices.
Orientation is required for all new to college students. During orientation, students learn about the college's services and programs, degree, certificate, and transfer requirements as well as how to be a successful student.
Advisement follows orientation for new-to-college students. Students learn in small group advising sessions how to develop an educational plan of study appropriate to their skill levels and educational goals. New transfer students are required to make an appointment for individual advisement to determine if assessment and orientation are necessary.
Follow-up services ensure that you are on track to fulfill your educational goals. Follow-up services are provided through the Counseling and Transfer Centers as well as EOPS, DSPS and faculty advisors.
