Your Priority Registration date is assigned based on your student status and you won’t be able to register before your specified date. Your priority is determined by things like the number of units you have already completed, if you’re enrolled in special programs, and/or registration eligibility. 

Most new students (attending college for the first time) will be able to register on Day 6 after registration officially starts.

Log in to Self-Service and check your notifications for your “Priority Registration Date” as shown in the screenshot below.

Priority Registration notification in Self-Service

When you register for a class and all the seats are filled, Self-Service will place you on the waitlist, or if you register in person you will be asked if you want to be placed on the waitlist. 

Being on the waitlist means that all seats in the class are taken, and you will be waiting for a seat to open up.

Then as students drop themselves out of the class, or are dropped for non-payment, seats will become available up until the Thursday before classes begin for the term.

The college will enroll students from the waitlist into the class automatically. As students are enrolled, students remaining on the waitlist will move up closer to the top of the list.

Once you are moved into the class from the waitlist, you will be notified that you are enrolled and have 10 calendar days to pay your fees. 

Pay your fees right away within 10 calendar days, so you don’t get dropped from the class and lose your place on the waitlist. 

If you do not want the class, you can go to Self-Service and drop it from your schedule; however, please keep in mind that you cannot be placed back in your previous position on the waitlist.
