(5)

Who May Register?

All persons 18 years of age or older are eligible for admissions as a California resident or nonresident. Anyone under 18 years of age who is a high school graduate or has been awarded a GED or California High School Proficiency Certificate may also enroll.

Unless expressly exempted, or entitled to a waiver, all students enrolling for college credit must pay the enrollment fee.

Adding A Class

If a class is open, students can enroll online or in the Admissions and Records Office at any campus. If a class is closed, students can add their name to the Wait List prior to the first day of class. After the first day, instructors will issue a permission number or sign an Add form if space is available. Students who are present and on the wait list will be given first priority. Students who do not attend the first class may be dropped by the instructor. The last day to add regular session classes is June 21, 2015.

Dropping A Class

It is the student’s responsibility to drop classes that they do not wish to attend. Students can drop classes online or in the Admissions and Records Office on campus. Students will be charged for classes not dropped by June 21 (the last day to drop regular session classes and receive a refund). However, instructors may drop students for non attendance during the first week of classes.

PASS/NO PASS Option

Step 1: Check the college catalog to see if your class is eligible for P/NP grading.

Step 2: Go to your Passport Student Center to choose P/NP on or before June 24 for regular session classes.

Admissions Information

Nonresident Tuition Exemption

Any student, who meets all of the following requirements, shall be exempt from paying nonresident tuition in a California Community College. Exemption from nonresident tuition does not change current regulations regarding residency. The California Dream Act (AB 131) expanded AB 540 to include students who attended and graduated from technical schools and adult schools, if at least one of those 3 years included attendance at a California high school.

Requirements:

• The student must have attended a high school (public or private in California for three or more years.

• The student must have graduated from a California high school or attained the equivalent prior to the start of the term.

• Any student without lawful immigration status who is seeking an exemption shall affirm that he or she has filed an application to legalize his or her immigration status, or will file such an application as soon as he or she is eligible to do so.

High School/Concurrent Enrollment

In accordance with California Education Code, section 76001, high school students entering 10th, 11th, or 12th grade may enroll as special part-time students. Enrollment must be recommended by their principal, with parental consent. Units earned will be granted as college credit. The high school may grant high school credit for courses taken from the Peralta Colleges.

The student must follow all of the regulations and policies of the college, including adhering to assessment and any prerequisite requirements. A high school student whose high school counselor recommends that the student enroll in more than six units must have the approval of the Vice President of Student Services at the college of enrollment.

California Community College enrollment fees will be waived for special part time high school students. However, full-time (enrolled in 11.5 or more units) concurrently enrolled high school students are subject to pay tuition fees and all other fees. All other fees apply.

Military Residence Exemption

Nonresident U.S. military personnel and on active duty in California (except those assigned for educational purposes to state supported institutions of higher education) and their dependents are granted a waiver of Nonresident Tuition until they are discharged from the military service.

Wait Lists

REGULAR SESSION (FULL-TERM) CLASSES ONLY

During registration, if you try to register for a class that is full, "CLOSED - Wait Listed" you will be given the option to sign up on the Wait List for that class - until the Wait List fills. Remember, being on a Wait List does not guarantee you a seat in a class. If seats become available, those on the Wait List will be registered for open seats in the order they are on the list.

Can anybody get on a Wait List?

Anyone can get on a Wait List when there are Wait List openings*.

However, you are eligible to be enrolled if you meet the following criteria:

• you meet the class prerequisites

• the class time does not conflict with another class in which you are registered, you have no repeat errors

• you have no holds on your record, or the class units will not exceed your maximum allowed

*High school students cannot add to the Wait List.

Who gets into a class?

Before the first day of the semester, if class seats become available, students will automatically be enrolled in the class in the order in which they added to the Wait List, provided there are no holds, time conflicts, prerequisite, repeat, or duplicate course errors.

How do I know if I got into a class?

If you are moved into a class from the Wait List, you will be notified by email to your Peralta email account. It is important that you activate and monitor your Peralta emails during the registration period. To access your student email account, go to https://www.

outlook.com/cc.peralta.edu. Use your PASSPORT User ID and @cc.peralta.edu (Example: abdc1234@cc.peralta.edu or 12345678@

cc.peralta.edu). Your email password is the same as your PASSPORT password on first login. To retrieve your PASSPORT password please click here. For instruction on how to retrieve your PASSPORT password, please click here.

If you are registered in a class from the Wait List, it is your responsibility to pay all fees 2 weeks before the beginning of the term.

Students who are added after this deadline are required to pay their fees immediately or a hold WILL be placed on your account and your debt will be sent to collections.

When do I pay for the class?

Fees will be assessed after a student is officially registered in a class and must be paid 2 weeks before the beginning of the term.

Students who are added after this deadline are required to pay their fees immediately or a hold WILL be placed on your account and your debt will be sent to collections. A student on a Wait List must monitor his/her email during the registration period if and when they are moved into a class.

It is important to remember that placement on a Wait List does not guarantee a seat in the class. Students on a Wait List after classes begin should attend the first class meeting to be able to enroll if space is available.

Enrollment Management - A Student Responsibility

As a student of Peralta Community College District is your responsibility to manage your enrollment. This includes updating your personal information record via Passport, checking your Peralta student email regularly, registering for classes in a timely manner, adhering to all deadlines listed on the Academic Calendar of this schedule (in particular late registration, withdrawal from classes, payment of fees), and monitoring your academic standing.

A student who cancels his/her registration prior to the first day of instruction, or officially withdraws from all classes during the first two weeks of instruction, shall be entitled to a full refund less a $10 processing fee. (This must be done whether you attend the class or not.)

If a student pays an Enrollment Fee of less than $10, and cancels his/her registration or withdraws from all classes before the deadline, the processing fee shall equal the Enrollment Fee.

No refund of the Enrollment Fee will be made to any student who withdraws from classes after the first two weeks of instruction.

A student may request a refund up to the end of the following term in which the refund was due. After that time, the student will not be eligible for the refund.

Once the request is submitted, refund processing time is 4 to 6 weeks (after last day to add classes) during peak periods and 2 to 3 weeks during off peak periods.

Refund Procedure for Non-Resident Tuition and Capital Outlay Fee

• Students will receive a full refund for any class cancelled by the college.

Regular Session Classes:

Refund Procedure for Short-Term, Late Start and Open-Entry/

Please note: Instructors may drop students who do not attend the first class meeting.
