There are three steps to beginning the Paralegal Studies Program:

1)    Create a Student Account with the Maricopa Colleges. This creates your Maricopa ID (MEID).


If you have ever attended any of the Maricopa Community Colleges, you already have an MEID. If you do not know your MEID, click here to find your MEID

If you have never attended any Maricopa College, you will first need to create a Student Account before you will receive your MEID.  If you have never attended a Maricopa College, click here to create your Student Account.

2)    ADMIT yourself to Phoenix College.  This admits you specifically to Phoenix College so you can join the Paralegal Studies Program.  Click here for instructions on how to ADMIT yourself to Phoenix College.

3)    Submit the Paralegal Studies Program Eligibility Form


If you already have a college degree you must also submit, with your eligibility form, proof of that degree in the form of an unofficial transcript or copy/photo of your diploma. Additionally, you must have an OFFICIAL transcript sent directly from your prior college to the Phoenix College Admissions and Records Office.

If you do not yet have a degree but you have college credit you want to have considered for transfer, you must submit, with your eligibility form, an unofficial transcript. Additionally, you must have an OFFICIAL transcript sent directly from your prior college to the Phoenix College Admissions and Records Office.

To submit your Eligibility form you must login with your MEID (Maricopa Enterprise ID) and password.

You also will need to know your Student ID Number, which is different than your MEID.  Your Student ID number is an eight-digit number that begins with a "3."  If you do not know your Student ID Number, click here to find your Student ID in your Student Center -- it will be shown at the top of the screen.

Your password is the same password you use to access all computer systems at the college.  If you do not remember your password, click here to reset your password
