Registration is done online through  > "Registration Tools" card > Quick Add or Drop Classes. Please view our "How to Register" page for step-by-step instructions.

Once the semester has started, you will need to get an add permit from the instructor in order to add the class. Only the instructor will be able to provide you with an add permit.

​Prerequisites are cleared by completing and submitting the Prerequisite Clearance Request Form online.

If you would like to register for a class that's closed, you have two options.

The first option is to add yourself to the waitlist for the class (if available and the term hasn't started yet). If a seat becomes available in that course, the next student on the waitlist will be notified via their student (cccd.edu) email. Students will then have 24 hours from the time the notification is sent, to register and pay for the class or they will be dropped from the waitlist and the next student on the waitlist will be notified.

The second option is to attend the first class meeting and ask the instructor for an Add Permit. Arrive early for your best chance. If it's an online class, you can email the instructor to request an Add Permit. Once the course begins, the registration system will require an Add Authorization Code in order to register, which is located on the Add Permit. Follow the instructions on the permit to register for the course by the stated deadline.

Not all classes can be taken on a pass/no pass basis. If the class schedule indicates that the course has a "graded or credit option" (listed in the details section on the online class schedule), you may opt to take the course for pass or no-pass instead of a letter grade.

You must submit your request to the Enrollment Center (Student Records) prior to the Grade Option Request deadline. Visit the Pass/No Pass Grading Option page for more information and deadlines.
