The Contra Costa Community College District (CCCCD) operates on a semester system with fall and spring intakes. The fall semester typically begins in August, with applications opening in January. The spring semester starts in January, with applications available from August of the prior year.
Application deadlines vary by college within the district (Diablo Valley, Los Medanos, and Contra Costa College). Generally, priority deadlines are 4-6 weeks before the semester starts. Late applications may be accepted, but early submission is advised for course selection and financial aid. Check the CCCCD website or individual college portals for exact dates and program-specific deadlines.
