Registration is the process that is followed to enroll in classes for the upcoming semester/term. Registration appointments are assigned using a priority system established by the Santa Clarita Community College Board of Trustees.

1. Currently enrolled high school students must first complete the admission requirements in the High School Admissions Process.

High School: If you are currently attending high school at the same time you plan to enroll at College of the Canyons, you may be eligible to attend.  K-8 grade students are, for the most part, ineligible to attend; contact the Admissions & Records office for a list of exceptions.  New students should complete admission, assessment and orientation as early in the process as possible to be eligible to enroll in classes.  You must complete the following steps to be accepted as a special admission student:

1.                 Complete a College of the Canyons application for admission and, if it is your first semester, submit high school transcripts, complete an assessment test and an online orientation by April 28, 2008. The application form, assessment center hours and the online orientation can be found on our website at www.canyons.edu.  New students who have not completed all steps described above cannot enroll in classes.  Returning high school students must submit a new College of the Canyons application each term they plan to attend.

2.                  Once you receive your College of the Canyons assessment scores, contact your high school counselor and complete a Special Admission Enrollment Form, and an Authorization to Consent to Medical Treatment form. All signatures must be completed or the forms will not be accepted.  High school counselors may only recommend College of the Canyons degree applicable classes.  These forms are required each term students plan to attend.

3.                  To enroll in classes for the current term, Special Admission Enrollment and Consent to Medical Treatment forms must be complete with all signatures and classes recommended by high school personnel; a parent cannot recommend courses.  Incomplete forms will not be accepted. 

4.                  High school juniors and seniors must register in person at the Admissions & Records Office from May 27- June 5, 2008 during business hours.  High school freshman and sophomores have an additional requirement of obtaining instructor permission to enroll.  Thus, they must wait until the first class meeting after the term begins, obtain an add form dated with first attendance and signed by the instructor.  They may then proceed to the Admissions & Records office during business hours anytime prior to the add deadline with all forms described above to enroll in classes.

5.                  Special admission students attending part-time may not enroll in more than 11.0 units per term and are exempt from paying enrollment fees.  All other term fees must be paid for at the time of enrollment.  Special admission students who want to attend College of the Canyons full-time must be released from high school to do so.  This means they will be attending College of the Canyons full-time and not attending high school for the entire term.  Special admission students attending College of the Canyons full-time must pay all applicable fees, including the enrollment fee.

The College of the Canyons application form can be completed online by accessing our website at www.canyons.edu, or a paper copy is available in the center of the Summer Session publication.  If using the paper application, please complete in full, sign, date and bring, mail or fax by the deadline to:
