All accepted and enrolled students are assigned a CCS student username and password from Information Technology Services to use the primary CCS platforms:
- Access Manager to view CCS campus apps and services
- Self-Service to access registration, student records, payments/financial aid resources
- Canvas to access registered course content and instruction
- CCS Email account – all campus communication and tuition notifications are sent to students using their assigned CCS email.
New and returning students should use the online Self Service system every semester to view grades, pay tuition, request enrollment verifications, and access Student Planning for registration and degree planning.
New Students
Degree seeking and Teacher Certification students new to CCS are preregistered and notified of upcoming New Student Registration Session dates. New Students are required to schedule an appointment with CCS Academic Advising staff and must participate in a one-on-one or group advising session to confirm registration of their first semester and maintain their class schedule. Students must review and confirm their program, degree timeline and are informed of online registration and advising practices using Self-Service/Student Planning. Schedule Changes must be requested through an Academic Advisor or approved to process using Self Service.
Current Students
Students returning to CCS to continue their undergraduate studies for an upcoming academic year must register according to the assigned priority registration dates (based on class level) listed on the Academic Calendar. Returning students eligible for registration must have good academic standing (and if returning after withdrawal/leave of absence), should schedule an appointment with their Academic Advisor before their assigned registration date for assistance with course selection, reviewing their academic progress, and registration of required classes. Students are walked through the online registration process to set-up courses and register using Self Service/Student Planning. Students may register online each year as long as their record is free from holds. Additional registration or add/drop options are available by using appropriate forms and submitting them to the AARO.
Registration of all courses must be submitted by the deadline indicated on the CCS Academic Calendar. Students who have account restrictions/holds must have all holds removed before registration is permitted.
Non-degree Students
Student Agreements
Incoming students are required to complete a Program Acknowledgement before registration to confirm their understanding of expectations, responsibilities and commitment required for a CCS Undergraduate Program. All students (new and continuing) are required to complete the CCS Tuition and Registration Agreement each academic year to acknowledge and accept registration/tuition policies for each semester they intend to register. Both the Program Acknowledgement and CCS Tuition/Registration agreements are provided to students in Self-Service and must be “confirmed” to register for the academic year. Also see the Business Services Payment Agreement regarding tuition charges and payments.
Additionally, all students are required to update personal and emergency contact information in their Self-Service account for continued registration access.
Registration and Credit Policies
Restricted Courses
Students who intend to register for a course that is restricted to a particular major or class level (for example, Crafts only or juniors only) and who are not in that department or at the required class level must have the department chair or administrator complete and sign the Registration Permission Form and then must submit it to the AARO to complete the registration of courses.
