If you applied for an Application for Program Certificate less than 2 years ago, you don’t need to fill out a new application or schedule another counseling appointment. Your first application is still on file and will be processed once the Records Office confirms you’ve met all the requirements. If it’s been more than 2 years since you applied, please call (714) 992-9514 to check if your application is still on file. If it isn’t, you might need to set up another counseling appointment.
