At CaliforniaColleges.edu, we believe that all students deserve the opportunity to succeed. As the State of California’s official college and career planning platform, CaliforniaColleges.edu empowers students by providing them with a one-stop shop for all the tools they need to set goals for life after high school and make plans to achieve them. CaliforniaColleges.edu also serves as a crucial component of the state’s Cradle-to-Career Data System tools.

To support students, educators can monitor progress at every stage of the journey, from career exploration and planning coursework, to determining college eligibility, to launching and tracking college and financial aid applications.

CaliforniaColleges.edu’s educator reporting tools also make the process easier by allowing educators to view all of their students at a glance and drill down into specific student records, so they can identify the most effective intervention for students who need it most.
