Enrollment appointment times

  • Check WebReg for your first and second pass appointment times for the next quarter, during Week 5 of the current quarter.
  • You will be assigned an appointment based on the number of units you have completed.

Enrollment and fee payment holds

  • Go to Holds. Contact the office indicated to clear each hold.
  • WebReg will not allow you to enroll or Add/ Drop/ Change unless all enrollment holds have been cleared.
  • The Cashier's Office can't process fee payments until all fee payment holds have been cleared.

Enrollment limitations

  • You are allowed to enroll in 11.5 units during the first pass and 19.5 units during the second pass up until the first day of classes.
  • If you do not enroll during your first pass appointment, you must wait until your second pass appointment.
  • Starting the first day of classes, you may enroll in 22 units.
  • Submit a completed, signed Add/ Drop/ Change card to the Registrar's Office (map) for classes that can't be added or dropped using WebReg.

Prerequisite requirements

  • Current enrollment in a prerequisite class will satisfy a prerequisite.
  • If you satisfied a prerequisite by taking a class at another college or university, contact the department offering the class to be authorized to enroll.
    Note: Transfer equivalencies may not have been entered into the system.
  • Some classes require departmental approval. To enroll in these classes, contact the department.

Other restrictions on enrollment

    • Major
    • College
    • Class level
  • Refer to the far left column in the Schedule of Classes for codes indicating type of enrollment restrictions that apply to each class.
  • If the system blocks your enrollment in a class you are eligible for, contact the department for approval.

Department approval procedure

  • Contact the department for pre-authorization to enroll in a class or class section. You can then use WebReg to enroll in the class.

Wait lists

If the section you want is full, WebReg will offer you the option to enroll in another section of the class, or to wait-list the section that is full.

  • Wait-lists will only be available during second pass appointments.
  • You can wait-list no more than one section of a course.
  • You can't be enrolled in a class and wait-listed in a different section of the same class.
  • For detailed instructions, see How to Wait-List a Class.

Class confirmation

  • Be sure that all information is correct, including your grading option and units.
  • If a wait-listed course was added to your schedule, it will be included in the class list.
