Categories of Priority Registration

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.
