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. New students must submit an application for admission, official transcripts from previous schools attended (both high school and college), and participate in assessment, advisement and orientation (a process called matriculation).

2. New students will register using on-line registration, or by telephone using the STAR registration system.

3. New students will obtain their registration appointment after completing an on-line orientation session.

4. Access the on-line registration system or call the STAR telephone registration system on your appointment date and time to register for classes.
