Matriculation Process

Matriculation is a state-mandated partnership between West Valley College and its students. We provide services to help you be successful. You do your part by utilizing these resources and striving to succeed.

Matriculation includes Assessment, Orientation, and Counseling.   

Assessment is testing in reading and writing to help you determine the appropriate level of courses to take. If you haven't already completed assessment, we strongly recommended that you do so before registering for your classes. Testing dates can be obtained from the schedule of classes, Admissions, Counseling, or the assessment web page.

Orientation provides information about enrollment procedures, programs of study, student services, and college resources. Students who do not complete orientation online can complete it by taking a half unit class called Counseling A.

Counselors are here to help you achieve personal, career, and educational goals. We recommend that you develop an educational plan with the help of a counselor. An educational plan is a road map that identifies all the courses you need to take to reach your goals. Counseling appointments are available by calling (408) 741-2009.
