Registration Information

When a course reflects "Closed" it is no longer available for open enrollment and/or waitlisting. The add authorization will be required in Self-Service even if seats later become available.

Authorization to Add is at the discretion of the instructor.

Students authorized to add will see a blue ribbon "Approved to Add" on their Plan & Schedule menu within their Self-Service portal. For additional add authorization instructions, view the Add Authorization webpage. 

Students cannot enroll in a class if they are enrolled in another section of the same course.

Example

• Registered for ENG-001A-1234 (Class meets 9:00 a.m. in person)
• Not able to register for ENG-001A-5678 (Class meets fully online)

Students who have completed prerequisite coursework at another college must meet with a counselor to confirm transferability. 

 In accordance with Title 5, Section 55201, students may challenge a prerequisite/co-requisite if they meet certain 
criteria. View Prequisite Challenge Form for additional information. 

Students who wish to enroll in a course for a third attempt, or after receiving a passing grade, must submit a petition form electronically. All notifications regarding the status of the petition request will be sent to the students' MyCOD email. 

• Petition to Repeat a Course

Students who have received approval to repeat a course must follow the instructions sent to them via email. Students repeating a course for a third time, or after receiving a passing grade, will be unable to process their registration request through the Self-Service portal.
