Priority Registration Policy

The Coast Community College District is committed to the philosophy that all students should have fair and equitable access to courses and programs within the resources of each college and in accordance with State Education Code, Title 5 provisions and guidelines adopted by the Board of Governors. Further, the District believes that students should be able to progress toward their stated educational objective in a timely manner.

The primary mission of the District colleges is to provide transfer and vocational courses and programs. Therefore, priority is extended to matriculated students who have demonstrated progress toward their declared educational objectives, the completion of their transfer requirements, and/or the completion of a degree or vocational certificate.

Enrollment priority is the process used to determine the order in which students will have the opportunity to register for classes. Recognizing that each college serves a unique student population that may have differing needs, the development of specific registration priorities will be done at the college level in accordance with District procedures.
