SELECTION PROCESS

Applications are reviewed in multiple stages. First, submissions are checked for completeness and eligibility. Incomplete applications will not move forward. Qualified applications are then reviewed by a panel of MCHS instructors and Contra Costa College professors, followed by a final selection based on available space.

Accepted students will receive an email with next steps and required paperwork. Deadlines must be met exactly to secure a spot. Students not selected will be notified by email and may be contacted later if space becomes available. All decisions are final, and there is no appeal process.

Due to high demand and limited capacity, not all applicants can be admitted. Students who are not accepted may still pursue concurrent enrollment at Contra Costa College or reapply the following year.
