Overview
Shasta College is a public community college serving far northern California, with its main campus in Redding and additional campuses at Tehama, Trinity and Intermountain.
As part of the California Community College system it follows an open admission policy, so new students enroll by creating an OpenCCC account and submitting their information, then move on to orientation, counseling and class registration. Students choose from a wide range of certificates and associate-level programs grouped into interest areas such as earth and environment, STEM, industrial technology, business and hospitality, education, the arts and public safety.
Career technical education programs are offered through the Business, Agriculture and Career Technical Education division and emphasize hands-on training, with industry-recognized credentials available in many fields. Transfer-oriented pathways prepare students to continue toward a bachelor's degree at a California State University, University of California or other institution.
Financial aid is available through the FAFSA or the California Dream Act Application, and most California residents can qualify for a tuition fee waiver through the California College Promise Grant.
The college also runs concurrent and dual enrollment options for high school students, noncredit courses, apprenticeships and community education classes.
