The Sonoma County Junior College District, in compliance with State Regulation, Titles VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, or handicap in any of its policies, procedures, or practices; nor does the District, in compliance with the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1975, discriminate against any employees or applicants for employment on the basis of their age.

Inquiries regarding the SRJC’s equal opportunity/affirmative action policies may be directed to the District Compliance Officer, Santa Rosa Junior College or the Director of the Office for Civil Rights, Department of Health, Education and Welfare.
Students, job applicants, and current employees may complain of any action that they believe discriminates against them on the ground of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, handicap, or age, and may contact the District Compliance Officer for further information and procedures. Students enrolled in career training education programs may complain of any sex discrimination, sex bias, or sex stereotyping to the Gender Equity Coordinator in the Human Resources Office.
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
An application is required for admission to SRJC. If you plan to register for courses that require significant mathematics, reading, or writing, placement by high school records, or completion of the guided self-placement activity can be very useful for you. Assessment for placement is a central part of the college orientation program.
STUDENT IDENTIFICATION NUMBER/ SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER
SRJC uses a Student Identification number (SID), replacing the use of a Social Security number as the primary identifier for students.
SRJC continues to collect Social Security numbers, as they are necessary for financial aid recipients, federal tax credits, and state data reporting. The new SID number is printed on all SRJC documents and records.
PERSONAL IDENTIFICATION NUMBER (PIN)
For added security, students are required to establish a Personal Identification Number (PIN) upon initial logon to their student myCubby portal.
Once a PIN has been established, students will need to provide their PIN when using Web Link or in-person enrollment services.
For security reasons, if students forget their PIN, they will need to contact the Admissions and Records Office in person on the Santa Rosa or Petaluma campuses. Please be prepared to show photo identification.
SELECTING APPROPRIATE COURSES
The course descriptions listed in alphabetical order in the back of the Catalog help to determine which courses meet your college objectives. Counselors and advisors help to answer questions regarding requirements for graduation, for transfer and occupational curricula, and to handle other matters affecting your educational plans.
