Learn more about Statewide enrollment priorities
The California Community Colleges Board of Governors recently approved changes that establish system-wide enrollment priorities designed to ensure classes are available for students seeking job training, degree attainment or transfer and to reward students who make progress toward their educational goals.
One of the great benefits of the changes is that new fully matriculated students who have completed college orientation and developed an education plan, as well as continuing students in good academic standing who have not exceeded 99.9 units (not including basic English, Math or English as a Second Language) will have priority over students who do not meet these criteria.
Active-duty military and veterans, current and former foster youth, students in CalWORKs, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services and Disabled Students Programs and Services will continue to have the highest priority level for registration if they meet the same criteria listed above.
Students on probation are encouraged to consult with a counselor to discuss options to improve their academic standing. Two consecutive semesters of academic and/or progress probation can result in loss of priority. Students nearing 100 units should carefully plan their remaining courses.
Note: Students are limited to enroll in a total of 16 units during the priority registration period. Starting with open registration, students may enroll in up to 20 units.
Want To Earn Priority Registration?
