Week of May 20, 2024


Register for the Summer and Fall

All students can now enroll in classes for the Summer and Fall 2024 Sessions! Summer session starts on June 10 and Fall semester starts on August 14. You can check the available classes on WebSchedule and complete your registration via  WebSMART. If you haven't already, don't forget to schedule a meeting with an academic counselor to create your Student Education Plan (SEP).

The Summer and Fall 2024 semesters are free for qualifying San Mateo County residents pursuing a degree or certificate. For more information and details on qualifications, please refer to our Free College FAQ.
 

Important Financial Aid Information for Fall 2024

Due to technical issues with the implementation of the FAFSA Simplification Act, Cañada is experiencing delays in processing financial aid for the Fall 2024 semester, including FAFSA, CADAA (Dream Act), California College Promise Grant (CCPG), and Free College benefits. These benefits are expected to be processed by mid to late June, delaying the posting of registration charges until then, though Summer 2024 charges are unaffected. Cañada encourages students to check their my.smccd.edu email for updates. Please visit our district website on  FAFSA Simplification to see the 2024-2025 FAFSA changes, and refer to our Fall 2024 FAFSA Delay FAQs page for additional information. Students should contact the  SMCCCD help desk or Cañada Financial Aid Services for further assistance or to apply for financial aid.
