Golden West College Admission Application Introduction

Welcome to Golden West College and thank you for using our online application.

If you've already submitted an online application, please DO NOT create a new account and apply again as this will delay the processing of your original application. Please sign in using the user name and password you established the first time you signed in. If you forgot your Username and password, please call 1-800-GO-TO-XAP.

Ų New and returning students, regardless of their educational background and goal, must apply for admission.

Ų Continuing students (those who were registered in classes for the spring 2010 semester) do NOT need to reapply for summer or fall 2010 sessions.

If you need financial assistance, apply for financial aid at the time of the application (you’ll be given an opportunity to apply at the end of this application.)

High School Students – Concurrently enrolled High School Students may use the online application, but must submit an approved K-12 Special form before registering for classes. Forms and instructions may be downloaded from the Golden West College website

Nursing - Please note that an additional paper application is required for this program. Please click here to obtain detailed information.

Note: It is important to submit your application at least 10 working days prior to the start date of the class to allow for processing and return of your MyGWC login information and registration appointment.

*Apply early for the best selection of classes. Late applicants may experience delays in registration and limited class availability.

E-MAIL: Golden West College is making every effort to communicate with students by sending correspondence through e-mail. We advise you to check your e-mail account often, as the information we may send will often be time sensitive.

Important Information: Once you submit your online application, you’ll receive an email immediately (sent to the email address you supplied on your application) confirming successful submission of your application. Please make sure to read all the email you receive regarding your application. Additional information will be sent via email and mail once we begin processing your application.

Note: If your email address is incorrect you will not receive a confirmation of your application or instructions as to what you need to do to complete the admissions process. Some Internet Service Providers filter mail from the Coast Community College District so please check your trash/spam folder if you don't receive an email response within 2-3 days of submitting your application. You can avoid this by adding GWCAdmissions@cccd.edu and GWCAdmissions@gwc.cccd.edu to your Friendly Approved Senders list. This is especially important if you use providers such as AOL, Yahoo, Earthlink, MSN, Hotmail, or Roadrunner and/or you use spam filters.

Thank you for making Golden West College your college of choice for your higher education. We hope you find your experience at Golden West rewarding, accommodating and student friendly.
