How To…
To be able to access on-campus WiFi, login to Canvas, and use on-campus computers, you will need to set up your Saddleback Username and Password.
You will then be prompted to reset your password, by entering your Saddleback Student email and selecting a recovery method.
Your username is the first part of your Saddleback email address. It is usually your first initial, followed by your last name, and a number. For example, if a student is named “Saddleback Bobcats,” their email might be “sbobcats0@ saddleback.edu” and their username would be sbobcats0. To create a password for your username, you will first need to log in to MySite using your Student ID and 4-digit PIN that you created when you first applied to the college. In the upper right-hand corner of your MySite dashboard, you can click on your Profile.
From your profile, you will be able to select “Change PIN/Password.” On the following screens select: • “Change Password” • “I Have Forgotten My Password” After you receive verification via text or email, you’ll be able to create a new password for your student username.

How To...
Meeting with a counselor each semester is a requirement of the SC Promise Program and will also help you to stay on track with your general education, major, and/or transfer requirements. • General Counseling: Call 949-582-4972 or visit SSC 167 • Transfer Counseling: Call 949-582-4328 or visit SSC 225B • DSPS Counseling: Call 949-582-4885, email [email protected], or visit SSC 113 • EOPS Counseling: Call 949-582-4620 or visit SSC 126
Get free tutoring
The Learning Resource Center (you can find it on the campus map as “LRC”) is home to the college’s Tutoring Center. Tutoring offered through the LRC is free of charge and available to any student enrolled in classes. To access LRC Tutoring you must register for TU 300, a nocost, zero-unit course every semester. 14
After you have registered for TU 300 you’ll be able to access tutoring through your Canvas account.
Contact professors
Communication with your professors is extremely important. Many of you will be taking classes in fully online or in-person/online hybrid settings so communication will most likely take place over email. Here are a few pointers to make contacting your professors smoother: • Use your college, not personal, email to send messages to your professor. ◦ The “@saddleback.edu” of your email tells your professor that you are a student of the college and not a random person spamming them. • In the subject of your email include class and section ticket information. ◦ This information can be found in your MySite account. It will look like “ACCT 1A Ticket #16960” or “MATH 3B Ticket #23232” ◦ Your professor will most likely be teaching several classes, this information will help them to locate you in their rosters.
• Use the email messaging system that’s available in Canvas. ◦ Canvas is the online learning management system that Saddleback uses for all of its classes. ◦ In Canvas, you can send a message to your professor right from inside your course. Canvas will make sure that your professor knows all the details about your class section and your student account.
Join my Learning Pathway
Learning Pathways help students to explore different majors according to their future career interests. The majors in a pathway lead to careers that share common themes or require similar skills. You can view all the Learning Pathways and the programs in each pathway in the Saddleback College Program Mapper. Once you have identified your Learning Pathway, you should join your pathway’s Canvas GPS.

Promise FAQ
Second–Year Fall
Promise FAQ
SC Promise Program benefits are guaranteed for students for an entire academic year starting in the fall semester. This means you will receive the SC Promise Program financial benefits for both the fall and the spring semesters. You are expected to maintain at least a 2.0 GPA and complete at least 24 units in your first year to be eligible for SC Promise Program benefits for a second year. If you do not meet the 2.0 GPA or 24-unit cutoff, you may be removed from the SC Promise Program. To appeal your removal from the SC Promise Program, you can submit an SC Promise Program Special Request Form.
22
I had an IEP in high school, do my accommodations automatically transfer over to Saddleback?
No, your IEP will not automatically transfer over. You will need to work with the Saddleback Disabled Students Services and Programs (DSPS) office to ensure your accommodations are made for your college classes.
Does the SC Promise Program allow me to take a break between my two years? Yes, if you need to take a “gap semester,” you can submit an SC Promise Program Special Request Form. SC Promise Program benefits are guaranteed for accepted students who maintain eligibility for two consecutive years. Students are allowed to take one gap semester; however, they will not be given an additional semester of benefits after they return to college.
Why does MySite show that I have a balance due to the college?
As long as you maintain eligibility in the program, the SC Promise Program will pay for all of your registration/enrollment fees. Since students can make changes in their schedule through the middle of every semester, the SC Promise Program waits until well after the start of the second 8-week classes to pay off student balances.
I am taking a class at IVC, will the Saddleback College Promise Program cover my units?
Yes, if you are taking just one class at IVC, the SC Promise Program will cover your units and textbooks. You can register for an IVC class just like a Saddleback class on MySite.
Will the Saddleback College Promise Program cover my IVC textbook?
Yes, but you have to go through the Does the SC Promise Program pay Saddleback College Bookstore to for summer classes and textbooks? utilize your textbook voucher funds. No, the SC Promise Program does Please email your success coach not pay for summer classes or textto make sure you can get your IVC books.

Does the SC Promise Program pay for the ASB Stamp?
Yes, the SC Promise Program covers the $10 ASB stamp during the fall and spring semesters.
Do I have to submit a financial aid application (FAFSA or California Dream Act Application) every year?
Yes, to be eligible for your second year in the SC Promise Program, you must submit a new financial aid application for the next academic year. The financial aid application for your second year will be due June 1.
Does the SC Promise Program transfer with me to my four-year school?
Unfortunately, no, though many California public colleges have their version of a Promise program. It is important to research the financial aid and special support programs that are available at your transfer institutions.
