It is important to come together to foster a strong school-home-community relationship.

PROCTORED EXAMS WITH CBC
For CBC courses that require proctored exams, students will need to show a form of identification to schedule and take these types of exams.
If you don't have a form of ID. all CBC students can request, at no charge, a CBC ID.
Keep in mind that the turnaround time is usually a week, since the CBC ID cards are mailed to the students. If students need to schedule and take a proctored exam this week, they should make arrangements with their respective professors to take them at a CBC campus.
This does not impact a majority of CBC students.
Please see Mr. Arredondo with questions or concerns or for instructions on how to obtain a CBC ID.
