Registration Times

Priority Registration Order

Priority or early registration is given to Continuing Students who have completed the core components required for early registration. The core components consist of

•       Orientation
•       Counseling
•       Placement
•       and the completion of a Student Educational Plan (SEP)

Even if a student is exempt from these core components, the student may complete any of the components to increase the probability of academic success.

First-term priority registration includes assessment, orientation, and counseling/advising; continuing priority registration includes the completion of a Student Educational Plan.

This table reflects a combination of State or Federal mandated groups, priorities that align with the College Mission and the goal of increasing student success and completion. Overall, students must have completed orientation, assessment, and have met with a counselor for initial early registration and have completed a Student Educational Plan (SEP) for subsequent early registration.

You may be given early registration status if you complete the following steps:

1. Make an appointment with a counselor.
2. Select your courses.
3. File a Graduation Evaluation Request Form with a counselor who will verify eligibility for graduation and give you an eary registration time.

Examples of verifiable extenuating circumstances may be: accidents, illness, death of an immediate family member, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. A late add petition must be signed by the student, instructor, and the Vice President of Academic Affairs. Documentation of extenuating circumstance will be required.
