Santa Ana College, part of the Rancho Santiago Community College District, is an open-access institution with a 100% acceptance rate. As a community college, it admits all applicants who meet basic eligibility requirements, such as possessing a high school diploma or equivalent, or being at least 18 years old.
The college focuses on providing accessible education, including vocational training, associate degrees, and transfer programs. Unlike selective universities, enrollment is non-competitive, though some programs may have specific prerequisites. Prospective students must complete an application and placement tests for course alignment but face no admission barriers based on grades or test scores.
