A Saddleback fall 2022 application will ensure that Saddleback is your College of Record and begins the process of your Promise Program eligibility.
October 1, 2021: the fall 2022 application opens for first-time freshman
A student has an active application if the application was submitted for a previous semester AND the student has taken a course at Saddleback College for fall 2021 or spring 2022.
Confirm your Resident Status
Within 24 – 48 hours, students receive an email from the Saddleback Admission and Records Office titled “Saddleback College - Permit to Register.” In this email you will find your Saddleback ID number and your Resident Status.
October 1, 2021: the 2022 - 23 financial aid applications open
Add the Saddleback School Code (008918) to your application to ensure that Saddleback receives your application from FAFSA or the Dream Act websites.
Submit any requested Financial Aid Documents to the Financial Aid Office by May 1, 2022
7 - 10 days after you submit your financial aid application, you will be notified if additional documents are required (the Saddleback Financial Aid Offices sends these messages via email to your Saddleback email addresses which is accessible through MySite).
Before you can register for fall 2022 classes, you must complete the Matriculation Process.
The Matriculation Process includes Online Orientation, Initial Math and English Placement, Online Advisement, and First Semester MAP. All of these requirements can be completed online.
You must enroll in at least 12 units to be eligible for the Promise Program.
During the fall 2022 semester you must also enroll in an English and/or Math class.
While you may enroll in some IVC courses, the majority of your units must be taken at Saddleback.
Students with Reduced Course Load accommodations approved through DSPS may enroll in less than 12 units. Please ask your DSPS counselor to send your accommodation plan to the Promise Program.
