Welcome students and parents!
Thank you for coming this far, and consulting our website. By seeking out college-preparation information, you are taking an important step on the path to higher education. The links on “Students and Parents” will help you to chart your pathway to college in terms of:
- Courses you need to complete

These links will:
- Help you to understand California’s system of higher education
