How to Apply

Thank you for your interest in applying for the MESA/STEM Program.  Below is a link to the online program application. There are several items that will need to be attached to the application for admissions consideration. Please use the check list below to ensure you will have all documents needed in order to complete the process.  Applications are reviewed two times per year - once for Fall admissions and once for Spring admissions.  Your entire application packet will be reviewed and a determination made based on your eligibility for either "MESA" or "ASEM - Friends of MESA" (STEM students not meeting the statewide MESA eligibility criteria).  If it is determined you don't meet the criteria for either program, you will be notified. 

Our annual application processing timeline is also outlined below.  We encourage you to submit your application and other required items early in the annual timeline.  Applications are considered per the annual timeline on a first come/first serve basis until all available spaces are filled. 

Needed documents

The documents to be submitted as one packet for MESA/STEM Program consideration are: 

  • The completed MESA Student Application
  • A PDF of your current Student Education Plan (SEP) - you may schedule an appointment with Christine Reed or Angelica Eulloqui in the MESA/STEM Academic Success Center to complete a SEP if needed
  • A PDF of your current registration confirmation listing fees for the semester
  • A PDF of your most recent unofficial transcripts from Allan Hancock College and any other colleges or universities you have attended
