Required Activities to Earn Priority Registration
Registration Enrollment Priorities
AKA: Priority Registration Date Ranking
In accordance with Title 5 § 58108: Registration and Enrollment Procedures you can earn an earlier registration date by completing select activities. Registration dates for each term are assigned to groups of students based on the established criteria and published deadlines. Based on this criteria, before registration opens for the upcoming term students are "ranked" and put in groups then assigned an earlier or later registration date.
ALL students have an opportunity to earn an earlier date. It's your choice.
We'll notify you via email when registration dates have been calculated and assigned for the upcoming term.
Then check My Registration Date to see your ranking and your assigned registration date for the upcoming term.
If you think your registration date is wrong, let us know. Submit this eForm by the posted deadline to appeal.
No pressure!
Your registration WILL NOT be blocked if you miss the DUE DATE or a task or elect not to earn an earlier registration date.
You'll be grouped or ranked accordingly and register at a later date.
Activities completed after the due date will be applied to the next term.
ProTip: while these tasks are not required to register they are designed to support your successful transition to Cabrillo. You'll learn what classes to take to reach your goal saving you time and money.
