If a student is found to be violating the Mt. SAC Standards of Conduct, they will be required to meet with Omideh Miri, Assistant Director, via Zoom to discuss the infraction. If the behavior persists, or another violation occurs, the student will be referred to Mt. SAC Student Life and may not be able to complete the course. 

Your transcripts will be AUTOMATICALLY sent to your high school.

If you need a copy of your transcripts sent to you, another high school, or a college, please complete this form.

Just as a reminder, for college applications, please use our CEEB Code 053703 and not the Mt. San Antonio College code. The College does not issue high school transcripts and uses a different code, which can cause delays and confusion with applications.

All community college students are required to have a CCCID number. If you have taken classes at a community college in the past, then you probably already have a CCCID.

If you do not yet have an CCCID, we will create one for you. However, it is important to know how to find your CCCID & CCCApply information so you can sign into CCCApply and apply to ANY California community college in the future.
