Next Steps Orientation

Part 1: Complete SOAR Online
SOAR is CCD’s online orientation and an important part of getting started as a new student. It covers key information you will need as you begin at CCD, including how to choose classes, register for courses, access financial aid and scholarships, connect with campus resources, and get involved on campus.

To complete SOAR, log in to CCDConnect and open Success Onboarding and Resources in the student portal.

Part 2: Complete ID Verification
As part of the orientation process, all students are required to complete ID verification. This step helps CCD protect students and prevent identity theft.

To complete virtual ID verification, students must do both of the following:

  1. Upload a copy of their ID using the online form.
  2. Attend a virtual drop-in ID session.

Virtual ID sessions are held every Monday and Thursday from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams.
