1. Registering for Classes
Pre-Advising Workshop

2. Before We Begin: Meet with Your Advisor
Your assigned advisor will be listed on the school website. They will help you finalize which classes you can or should take.
This session is meant to help you be more self sufficient as a student, but does not replace advising with your assigned advisor.

3. What you need to know:. Who is my advisor. When can I register
What you need to know: *Who is my advisor? *When can I register? *What tools can I use to help me figure out what to take next quarter? *How do I register for next quarter?

5. #2. Go to “Current Students”

6. #3. Go to “When Can I register?”

7. Registration Appointment Time
This notice tells you that your “appointment time” is NOT a meeting time.
It is the earliest time you may go online or to Building 25 to register for your credit classes.
You should meet and talk with your Advisor BEFORE this time so you know FOR SURE what classes to sign up for.

8. Enter your Student ID number
875-XX-XXXX
(you don’t need the dashes)
Enter your birthday
MMDDYY

11. Picking Classes—Degree Audit
*Do you want a certificate or degree?
If you are attending to get a degree or certificate (and if you are getting financial aid for a specific purpose), there are lists of classes you must take. Start with Degree Audit and see which classes you need to take and how long it might take you.

12. Degree Audit: an on-line tool
*You can look at all the degree and certificate requirements in Degree Audit.
*If you know what certificate or degree you want to work on, it helps you figure out what classes you need to take.
(But, pre-100 level pre-requisite courses like Reading 91 are not listed. Add these courses to the course lists for degrees and certificates.)

13. Degree Audit—more functions!
*It keeps track of all the classes you’ve taken at SPSCC
* It keeps CPT (College Placement Test) test scores so you can tell what to take next in English, Reading, and Math

14. Where do I find Degree Audit?
*It is on the college’s webpage (
*Use it between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. from wherever you have internet access.

50. Wait List Strategy
What if a class was full and you put yourself on a wait list? Check that list often to see if you have been added to the class. Sometimes, when tuition payments are due, about two weeks before a quarter starts, there will be drops and your name will be added to a class.

51. When you have registered, you have to pay—but not until about two weeks before the new quarter.
If you don’t pay your tuition, you will be dropped from rosters and will no longer be registered. Check each quarter for specific payment due dates. Check with Financial Aid, too, if you have been awarded funds.
