How to Register for Courses

The fastest way to save your space is to register online. Paper registrations are processed in the order received and confirmations are mailed by the Office of Enrollment Services. (In-person registrations cannot be processed while you wait.) Courses are closed when the enrollment limit is reached. You will be notified if a course has been closed or canceled by the college.

Courses are closed when the enrollment limit is reached, so register early!
