Registration Information

Registration Appointments

Registration app​ointments are assigned a few weeks before registration begins. See Registration Periods for dates and more information.

• To find your registration appointment, log in to your MyCoast portal, click on the "Registration" tab, then under the Registration Tools table, click on "Check Registration Status & Date". Select the term to view your appointment.
  
• Your registration appointment is NOT a physical appointment for which you must appear on campus. Rather, it is the earliest possible date and time that you can register online for a given semester. You can register from any computer with Internet Access. 
  

How to Register

All registration is done online via your MyCoast portal. Check out these videos and tools to help you with the registration process:
