Registration
The Enrollment Services Office coordinates registration activities for college-credit courses. Registration for most of the non-credit courses may be coordinated by our Continuing Education Office.
Enrollment Services also provides enrollment data, enrollment verification, transcripts, and diploma processing, as well as other services. Please use the links below, or to the right.
How to Register
Students are able to register for classes in one of two ways:
- In person
- Via the Web - click here to enter the Student Kiosk for online registration and other online services.
There are three registration "periods":
- Early Bird (see below)
- Regular (see below)
- Late (see below)
Current students are activated in the registration system when registration is open and may register online, unless they are in a registration category that requires in-person registration. New and former students, please continue reading.
Early Bird Registration
Early Bird registration begins well in advance of the upcoming quarter, and proceeds in three phases: current students, then new students, and then "open". Current and new students have the opportunity to register quite early through our appointment system, whereby students may register any time on or after their appointment - a time that is viewable in the Student Kiosk. We encourage students to meet with an advisor prior to registering.
These students may be eligible for "early bird registration":
- Currently enrolled students
- Former students who have attended classes in the 2 quarters immediately preceding the upcoming quarter
- New students who have completed the application process (approved application, placement testing, orientation and advising) prior to early bird appointments being assigned
If you believe you qualify for an "early bird registration" appointment, keep watching for our mailing called "Reg-News". This will tell you when you will be able to check online through the Student Kiosk for your appointment date and time. Please note that some students are not eligible for "early bird registration". If you have a question regarding your eligibility, contact the Office of Enrollment Services at 425-388-9219 and press zero.
Former students who have not attended within the past year should submit an Application for Adjustment of Status in order to get an early registration appointment. Adjustment to Status forms are also available in the Enrollment Services office. New students should follow the steps at How to Apply.
Early Bird registrants have a "deadline to pay" that is usually two to four weeks in advance of the first day of class. Failure to pay results in being billed for the class, or dropped. Students receiving financial aid or other types of tuition payments should refer to our Payment policy.
Regular Registration
After the Early Bird deadline to pay, mentioned above, regular registration begins. Regular registration is open to all, both in-person and online. Students who register during regular registration must pay their tuition and fees within 5 working days of registration or by the first day of the term, whichever comes first.
Late Registration
Late registration begins on the 6th day of the term, and requires an instructor signature. Payment is due immediately. Late registration is possible, but not optimal, since there may be no seats available and/or the instructor could refuse permission.
