New Student Checklist


Before your first Semester:

New Students must file an application with the Admissions and Records Office or the satellite sites at least 10 business days prior to registering.

If you are a new student and plan to take the Placement Assessment Test, please submit your application first.  Once you obtain a Gavilan ID number, you can then go on the Assessment webpage and fill out the registration form for the assessment test.

Request transcripts from high school and/or previous colleges.

You must meet with a counselor if:

  • you are taking over 17 units (or over 5 in the summer)
  • your class has a prerequisite that was not completed at Gavilan
  • you are on academic probation or in a "disqualified" status
  • you are a high school student
  • you are an international student

Registration (each semester)

Take your completed registration card and transcripts to Admissions & Records on the main campus or to the Hollister or Morgan Hill sites   OR
