Online registration is available to eligible students through Self-Service/Student Planning. Students should check their degree requirements before registering for classes. Schedule an Academic Advising appointment for assistance to confirm required classes needed for each semester.
Students should schedule advising appointments BEFORE their registration date to plan ahead for online registration.
When to register
Students with the following Enrollment Status can register on the first day of “Year Long Registration” each April:
- Graduate Studies (Current Students)
- Teacher Certification (TC-post degree students only)
- Veteran students
Undergraduate Students
“Year Long Registration” dates are based on Class Level (number of credits):
- Class Level (Senior, Junior, Sophomore, and Freshmen) is determined by your credits (completed and in-progress credits combined).
- Registration dates are not based on studio level.
- Registration dates for each class level is listed on the Academic Calendar.
- Students cannot register before their assigned date.
Students may enroll in courses starting at 12midnight on the designated registration date. Registration deadlines apply for each semester.
Note: All Incoming/New Students register with an Academic Advisor for their first semester. First semester students are required to meet with an Academic Advisor for second semester registration. Students will register themselves for sophomore year, participating in year long registration for future semesters at CCS. Advising appointments and registration information is provided throughout the semester to help students prepare for future registration.
How to check your Class Level?
First, check the status of your credits:
Go to Self Service > Student Planning and select #1 to view “My Progress”.
View the credit progress bar. Add your TOTAL CREDITS (completed credits + in-progress credits) to get the sum of credits that determine your class status for registration.
