Once the County refers a student to CalWORKs, what is the next step? 

Once a student is approved, the paperwork is sent to CalWORKs.  Someone from CalWORKs calls the new student to set up appointments (the student can contact CalWORKs at 707-527-4383). For most new students, three appointments are needed: 1) Orientation to learn about the Program; 2) Counselor for an Education Plan; 3) Advisor for parking pass, book, and supply vouchers. A separate appointment is needed if the student wants a job on- or off-campus.  

What is an "Education Plan"?

An Education Plan lists the classes the student could take each semester until completion. Is is also referred to as an "Academic Plan." Education Counselors work with students to design a Plan that gets them where they want to be. Students meet each semester with the Counselor to review the plan and make any necessary changes.

What is Math & English Placement?

Assessment is one of the critical steps to help students start on a successful pathway in college. It is important that students take the classes that they are academically prepared to to take. Contact Assessment Services at 707-527-4661 for the Santa Rosa campus and 707-778-3908 for the Petaluma campus. Or, send an email to assessmentsantarosa@santarosa.edu for more information.

I don't have money or am unable to pay for parking? 

SRJC CalWORKs offers free day passes temporarily to on board you onto the program and courses. Once you are in the program you will be eligible to receive free parking passes for the spring and fall semester.

Am I able to bring my child to appointments? 

Yes, we have a child friendly office and you can bring your child with you. With that said, we don't have a daycare station therefore your child needs to be with you.
