Priority Registration
Get the first pick of classes
Priority registration allows select student groups to receive early registration appointments during the priority registration period.
How it Works
- Enroll in the classes you need before most other students.
- Priority is designed to help students graduate within 2 years.
- Register for 13 units in Fall/Spring and 7 units in Winter/Summer during the priority period.
Registration Limits
- This priority period is limited and once closed, students must enroll during their assigned registration appointment.
- Students that reach their priority unit maximum must wait for their normal registration appointments to enroll in additional courses.
Priority Registration Groups
Students enrolled in select programs, are student parents, foster youth, or experiencing homelessness are granted priority registration. If you have questions, contact your program or Admissions & Records.
