Before You Register
Review your Academic Requirements Report (ARR) and Degree Planner with your advisor to see if any of your required classes are offered during summer sessions.
How and When to Register
Continuing 色中色 students can register for summer classes using beginning March 4, 2024.
If you register on or after the first day of the session, your Tuition and Mandatory Fees will include an additional $25 non-refundable late registration fee. To pay the Late Registration fee, see "How to Pay" via Summer Tuition and Fees. You are responsible for confirming your account balance and payment due date on My色中色 Student Center whenever you make a change to your schedule.
If you no longer plan to participate in a class that you are enrolled in, you must drop or withdraw from the class. The process to drop or withdraw will vary depending on when you decide to do so:
- Before the first day of the session, you may drop one or more classes using .
- Starting the first day of the session, in order to drop a course, you will need to submit an Online Summer Sessions Registration form through the CPaCE Summer website. Instructor permission is required to drop a course after the session begins.
- After the drop deadline, you will need to request a withdrawal.
- The deadlines to drop and withdraw are available at Summer Session Deadlines.
A registration hold occurs when the University blocks your access to the registration system because you have not met a particular requirement.
You can view any holds you may have at My色中色 under "Personal Portfolio" as well as information about clearing the hold. Your emailed registration appointment notification will also include a notice of any holds placed on your registration access. If you still have questions, submit a help ticket to Beach Central for support.
Here are some possible reasons for a registration hold:
- You owe money to 色中色 (course fees, a library fine, an earlier tuition payment, etc.).
- You have failed to return property, such as a book or laboratory equipment, to a university department.
- You have not taken a required entrance test.
- You have not submitted required documents for admission.
When Can I Waitlist?
You can add yourself to the waitlist for a class until two weeks prior to the session start date.
The last date to place yourself on a waitlist:
Session | Date |
---|---|
Full Summer Session | May 13, 2024 |
Summer Session I | May 13, 2024 |
Summer Session III | June 24, 2024 |
Waitlists are canceled after these dates.
How Waitlisting Works:
- All scheduled class sections have waitlists. The size of the waitlist is based on size of the class.
- You can place yourself on the waitlist provided the list is not already full.
- If a seat becomes available, the student highest on the waitlist will get the seat (subject to the limitations below). Seats will not be available to students who happen to log in if there is still anyone on the waitlist.
- You must meet any requisites for the class before you can be placed on the waitlist, e.g., course pre-requisites, section co-requisites, major and class level restrictions. See Catalog/Course Descriptions on .
- You may register or waitlist for classes up to your enrollment unit limit, with a maximum of 7 units of waitlisted classes.
- Students will be moved from the waitlist into the class regularly as other students drop or are dropped due to non-payment of fees.
- If you are successfully moved from the waitlist into the class, you will receive an but only if you have specified your preferred email address in your Personal Portfolio at . You will not be billed for waitlisted classes but will be billed if moved from a waitlist into a class and the additional units result in higher registration fees. Check your class schedule and account summary regularly at to avoid cancellation of the newly added class(es).
- If you are moved from the waitlist into a class, it is your responsibility to drop the class (as with any other class) if you decide not to attend. Failure to do so will result in a 鈥榃U' grade on your record which will lower your grade point average.
- There is no guarantee you will be moved off the waitlist and enrolled into the class. Once the process to move students from the waitlist has run for the final time and classes have begun, instructors are not required to add students who were waitlisted for the class.
Moving Off the Waitlist:
Students will be moved from the waitlist into the class if space becomes available, and in the order placed, unless either of the following restrictions apply:
- There is a time conflict with another registered class. Since potential time conflicts are not checked when you place yourself on a waitlist, you should ensure that waitlisted classes do not conflict with your enrolled schedule.
- You are already enrolled in another section of the same course. Do not use waitlisting to try to get into another section of a course in which you are already enrolled, as you will not be moved from the waitlist if space becomes available. You will need to choose whether to take a chance and place yourself on the waitlist of the full section in the hope space becomes available or remain enrolled in the section you have already scheduled.
If you cannot be moved from the waitlist, for either of the reasons given above, you will be skipped and the next student considered. You will not be reconsidered until the next time space becomes available in the class.
Check your schedule regularly at to monitor your position on a waitlist. If you decide you no longer wish to wait for space to become available, you may drop yourself from a waitlist and add another class.
