Enrollment Steps

Step 1: Apply for Admissions

Get a jumpstart on the application process by setting up a student account online to generate your Maricopa Enterprise ID (MEID). 

  • Next, Apply for Admission at each college from which you plan to take Concurrent Enrollment courses online.
  • Please complete a regular application, not the one for Dual enrollment, ACE or Hoop of Learning.
  • After submitting your application online, submit your ID for authentication. 

Note: Your Official Maricopa Student email (google.maricopa.edu) is active once your ID is processed. 

Step 2: Gather Supporting Documentation or Determine Course Placement

A community college in this state shall grant admission to any student who is under eighteen years of age and who achieves at least one of the following:

  • A composite score of 720 or more on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT).
  • A composite score of 720 or more on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT).
  • A composite score of twelve or more on the American College Test (ACT).
  • A passing score on the relevant portions of the statewide assessment.
  • The completion of a college placement method designated by the community college district that indicates the student is at the appropriate college level for the course.

Note: If you will be providing PSAT, SAT, ACT, or statewide assessment documentation, you will be able to upload it to a secure online form outlined in Step 4.

If you need assistance in identifying a college placement method, please contact our Testing Center at testing@southmountaincc.edu or 602-243-8186.
