Application for Admission to the College

Students who must submit an application for admission to the college include those who:

  1. Have never attended College of the Desert, or
  2. Have attended before but not within the past year.
Students who need to apply for admission must do so by completing our online application process.

Applications must be completed and received by the College no later than three weeks before the semester begins. Please apply as early as possible to allow sufficient time for processing and to have the best chance of completing the registration process before the classes fill. Students submitting applications after the normal closing date may not be accommodated. Early application is essential!
