REGISTRATION

You will need a registration date and time to be able to register for classes. To obtain a registration date and time as a new student, you will need to complete the online orientation. You will be automatically assigned a registration date at the end of the orientation. If you are returning student, you will receive a date and time after you complete your application. For continuing students, you are automatically assigned a registration date and time. An email will be sent to you informing you of that date. If you do not receive the email, please check this schedule of classes to determine your date and time.

To check your appointment, log on to the college’s Web site at www.canyons.edu and click on the My Canyons.  To check your appointment on the STAR system you may call 255-2867.  From out of the (661) area code, you can use the toll-free number 1(888) 206-STAR to access the STAR system. 

The first weeks of registration are open to students according to a priority system. This priority system has been created to make your registration as easy as possible to avoid overloading the computer system. You will be able to register on your date and time or during open registration. If you have missed your registration date due to extenuating circumstances, please bring documentation to the Admissions and Records office to petition for a new date and time.

In order to understand College of the Canyons registration process, you must know your status as a student.  Please determine the category that applies to you and note the registration time on the accompanying grid.  You may also access online registration or call STAR to obtain your registration appointment date and time. We are now sending registration appointments by e-mail.  Be sure we have your correct e-mail address.  You can make changes to your e-mail address by accessing the online registration system. Please be sure to allow emails from any email ending in @canyons.edu. Please do not block these emails, otherwise you may not receive your registration date.

To determine your registration date and time, you need to know:

• The last two digits of your social security number.
• Your priority level (A, B, C, D, E, F, or G) based on your status as a student.
• Be sure to calculate all college units completed at College of the Canyons, and any units enrolled in the current semester or term.

Once you have determined your priority level, you will be assigned a 6-hour window to register for classes and will have an additional 4-hour window in the evening of the same day to make any changes to your schedule.  You will then be blocked from the system until the Open Registration period.

To register for your classes, please log on to My Canyons at www.canyons.edu. You will log in during your registration date and time or during open registration. If you click on Register/Add a class, you will be prompted as to how to register. You may also register using the automated phone system, STAR, by calling 255-2867 or (888) 206-STAR if you are out of the (661) area code. The automated system will prompt you on how to add classes. If you need help choosing classes, please see our online tutorials for help. They are located at www.canyons.edu/office/Counseling. You may also register in person in the Admissions and Records office on the Valencia Campus or in the Student Services office in Quad 1 at the Canyon Country Campus.
