Saddleback College Matriculation Process
Matriculation Process Document 
 Step 1: Apply to Saddleback College - The process begins when a new or returning student submits an application to Saddleback College. If a student is required to matriculate, they cannot register for classes until the Matriculation process is complete. Your Matriculation Status is based on the educational goal and units completed you selected on the application to Saddleback College, Not the courses you wish to enroll in.
Step 2: Online Orientation - click on the Online Orientation button to the left and follow the instructions to log into MySite and access the Orientation.
Step 3: Make an Assessment Appointment - Appointments for assessment can be made online, at the Matriculation Office SSC 225-B, or by calling the Matriculation Office (949-582-4970). A student cannot make a testing appointment without an application submitted to Saddleback College and a South Orange County Community College District Student ID Number.
or Turn in Alternative Evidence - Students may be exempt from the English and/or math portion of the assessment if you provide one or more forms of alternative evidence:

- Students that meet any one of the above exemptions may still be required to complete the Orientation and/or the Student Advisement steps of the Matriculation process.
Step 4: Attend Your Assessment Appointment - Assessment in Math, English, and Reading and a short orientation are conducted in the Matriculation testing room located in the Student Services Center room 225A.
