Important Registration Information:

If you are unable to register for your classes, get yourself on the wait list.  If you are unable to register for your classes or get yourself on the wait list, there is a form in the Court Reporting Office that you need to fill out with your name, student number, contact information, the class you are trying to get into and the problem that you have experienced.  If the class and wait list are full, we need to know.  Although unlikely at this specific point in time, if there are enough students who want to get in, it may be possible to open another section, so we need to know if students are not getting the classes they need.  If you are not near campus, you may send all of the above-mentioned information to:

To: vmorgan@cerritos.edu

Subject:  HELP registering for classes Fall 2010.

New Students: Here's What You Need to Know!

New Student Registration Information            Class Schedule (CRCC)

Getting Started!             Getting a Machine!

The first thing you need to do is become a Cerritos College student.  To do that, you must enroll at the college.  On the main web page, www.cerritos.edu, follow the links for "new students" to apply to the college.  You should then receive a student number via email within approximately two days.  (You can also go directly to the Admissions Office or complete an application by mail.)  Now that you have a student no., you will be able to register for classes when registration is open for the term you are applying for.  For example, the Fall 2009 registration does not start for anyone until July 16, and then it is priority registration, so new students will be some time after that.  You will either receive a letter in the mail with your "appointment to register" date (anytime thereafter), or you should also be able to see your registration date once they are assigned by going to www.cerritos.edu/  and clicking on "MyCerritos" and logging in.  That is also how you will actually register for classes if you do so online.  You will need the section no. for your class (see Getting Started).  All students MUST pay for their classes and waitlist classes within 5 days of registering or you will be dropped from the class automatically.  You may send in a check (be sure it arrives in time!) or pay your fees online through the MyCerritos system.  Even if you were a prior Cerritos student, if you have not attended for one semester or more, you need to reapply.  They then will reactivate your student no. so you can proceed to register when your time comes.  If you get on a waiting list, show up for that first class for on campus classes, and contact your instructor for online classes.  

New students should also know that initially, you can start the program without having your prior transcripts sent and received by our campus.  If you decide to pursue the AA degree or college certificate, you will have to have your transcripts sent and counsel with a counselor in the counseling office for academic guidance.  For Court Reporting Department guidance, you will be counseling with your court reporting instructors and/or department chairs.
