At College of San Mateo, you will find a vibrant, lively, beautiful campus, which provides an excellent learning environment for students. Students choose CSM because of its location, program opportunities, comprehensive course offerings, and record of student success (transfer & degree completion).
Whether your goal is to start out on a path toward a successful career, begin your university studies at CSM, or get an early start on higher education, CSM has a variety of on-campus and off-campus programs, services, and activities to help you reach your educational goals.
College Connection (Grades 9-12)
High school students can take advantage of an exciting enrollment opportunity at CSM called College Connection Concurrent Enrollment Program. This enrichment program enables students who are still in high school to get an "early start" on their college experience, and benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work. It's free - for up to 11 units per semester!
Priority Enrollment Program (PEP) For High School Graduates
For entering freshmen, CSM has designed a unique Priority Enrollment Program (PEP) for high school seniors to provide an easy transition from high school to college, as well as guaranteed priority enrollment and early registration in classes for Summer and Fall semester classes. Students finishing their senior year of high school are strongly encouraged to sign up now or by early May to participate in this special half-day program.
High school Students who have completed their senior year and plan to attend CSM as freshmen, but cannot take advantage of the PEP Program, should go to How to Apply for PEP and follow the enrollment procedures.
