How to Register Your Partner Parent Account

The first and most important step to start using the tools on CaliforniaColleges.edu is to register your free account. If you’re the parent/guardian of a student enrolled in a 6th-12th grade public school district in California, you can register an account on CaliforniaColleges.edu.

If you haven’t already, we recommend using our District Lookup Tool to make sure you’re able to register for the type of account that’s available to you. If you used the District Lookup Tool and were redirected here, that means you’re the parent/guardian of a student in a Partner District and you can continue on to the steps below.
