Mesa Athletics and Academic Program (MAAP)

Educational Planning

7 Steps to Enrollment and Educational Planning:

Step 1: Apply online or in person at the Admissions office located in I-410 (619-388-2682)

Step 2: Request previous college transcripts, Advanced Placement exams (score of 3 or higher) or International Baccalaureate credit to our district office:

Address:
San Diego Community College
Records Office
3375 Camino del Rio South
San Diego, Ca 92108-3883

Step 3: For assessment contact the Testing Office at 619-388-2718 or testing@sdccd.edu to sign up for the English and Math placement tests and "New Student Orientation" session.

Assessment is required for: 1st time college students
Not required for: Students who have completed an English and Math course at previous colleges or who have assessment results from a previous California Community College, or passed the Advanced Placement English and math exams (with a score of 3 or higher)

Step 4: Records Adjustment. This is very important! Call or come into the Counseling Department (619-388-2672) or Evaluations (619-388-2680) to see if your transcripts have arrived. If yes, ask for a record adjustment to have the transcripts evaluated. On average, the evaluation will take 3-4 weeks.

Step 5: Make an appointment to see the Athletic Counselor

All student-athletes need to have an educational plan on file by the second semester of college attendance. Please go to the Physical Education and Athletics Building in L-101 to book an appointment with the MAAP Counselor.

How to Make an Appointment to see the MAAP Counselor:

  1. Go to the Athletics/P.E. Department (L-101) and sign up for an appointment on the "MAAP Sign-Up Sheet" on the MAAP Bulletin Board.
  2. Sign up for an appointment. (Fill in two: 30 minute slots for an hour, which is the preferred appointment time). You must include your CSID # to book the appointment.
  3. On the day of your MAAP appointment, report to the Counseling Department on time and please bring a picture ID.
  4. If you cannot attend your MAAP appointment, please contact Counseling (619-388-2672) to cancel. Coaches will be notified of any "no shows."

NOTE: Appointments are made for a week in advance. If you need to see the MAAP Counselor sooner, please stop by the Counseling Department (I-430) and see if Kristy Carson is available on a drop-in basis (first come first serve). If not, please see another counselor on a drop-in basis and you can always follow-up with the MAAP Counselor if needed at a later date.
