Is this your FIRST TIME at College of Marin?
Step 1. Complete an Application
(a) Make sure your phone or computer keyboard language is in English and autocorrect is turned off. Do not use accented letters on the application. You cannot use letters with accents, ñ, ü or unique letters of this type (even if your name or surname has an accent, ü o ñ, should not be used in the form)
(b) *You can also call CCCApply directly and get help in Spanish to create your account and fill out your application. At: (877) 247-4836
(c) Create a Noncredit CCC Apply Account at www1.marin.edu/apply. Once in CCCApply, you can change the account language to Spanish.
(d) Please remember to write down your username and password. Keep it safe, you will need it in the future. Note: You Can Skip the ID.Me Verification by clicking “Verify Later.” *CCCApply is a California Department of Education page. We do not have access to your account, information or password.
(e) After your account has been created, it will log into CCCApply. Press "Start a New Application" to apply to the College of Marin. You can change the application’s language to Spanish in the settings. *Remember, CCCApply is two steps: 1. Create the account and 2. Fill out and submit the application to apply successfully!
(f) Within 2 to 3 business days, you will receive a welcome letter from "The College of Marin" that includes your username (different from CCCApply) and student number (M00#). This welcome letter will arrive by email to your account (Search for "Welcome Letter" in all mailboxes, such as Spam, Drafts, etc.)
Step 2. Set up and access your account in the MyCOM portal:
In your welcome email, open "First Time Users" or in your browser go to “tinyurl.com/firstuser”. Follow the instructions in the portal; you will need the M00# (student number) and username (User Name) from the welcome email.
