How to Enroll in Classes

Registration appointments for Continuing, Returning, New, and Transfer students will be based on the recommendations of the California Student Success Initiative. To find out if you are a continuing, or returning student read the following:

• You are a Continuing Student if you were enrolled in a course after the first two weeks or 20% of the course in the previous term.
• You are a Returning Student if you missed one or more primary terms (fall/spring) and must reapply.
• You are a New Student if you have never attended college previously. You will be required to complete assessment, orientation and counseling (AOC) prior to registration.
• You are a Transfer Student if you have attended college elsewhere but have never enrolled in RCCD classes.

Priority registration allows select student groups to receive early registration appointments, with a maximum amount of units, during the priority registration period. This priority period is limited and once closed, students must enroll during their assigned registration appointment. Students that reach their priority unit maximum must wait for their normal registration appointments. Priority registration limits are 13 units for Fall/Spring and 7 units for Winter/Summer.

Priority registration is never a given and students must maintain eligibility for this benefit.

• Priority Group I: DSS, EOPS, CalWORKs, Veterans, Foster & Homeless Youth (Guardian Scholars or NextUp programs), student parents (indicate status on application or request priority online). (DSS students receive continuous priority registration access until start of term)
• Priority Group II: ASMVC (officers only), Student Trustee, ACES
• Priority Group III (MVC courses only): ASMV (without officers), Puente Program, Community Scholars, VA extended, Choir, Umoja, Music Majors, College Promise, FYE, MCHS and NuView continuing students
• General registration appointments begin after the Group III registration period ends.

Waitlisting allows students to indicate their interest in taking a course that has reached its enrollment capacity. Because course enrollments change daily, waitlisting will ensure you receive enrollment priority if a spot opens in an otherwise full class. Waitlisting also helps indicate demand for a specific class, and may result in a new section being added to the class schedule if enough students request it.

• The maximum number of units you may waitlist is 18 units for fall/spring and 9 units for summer/winter.
• You must drop yourself from the class by the drop and refund deadlines if you do not intend to remain in the class.
• You are not charged tuition or fees for waitlisted classes.

If the class you need is full, put yourself on the waitlist. Waitlisting occurs during the course registration process. To waitlist, a class must be open and accepting waitlist registration. Waitlists close at midnight of the evening prior to the first class meeting. Students receive open seats according to the order in which they joined the waitlist. You are not charged for a class that you are on a waitlist for. 

• Prior to start of class: You will automatically be enrolled if a seat opens and you are next on the waitlist. Your student account will then be charged tuition and fees. As with any class, you must attend the first day of class or log into Canvas within the deadline to avoid being dropped.
• After start of class: You will need approval and an add/authorization code from your instructor to enroll. Authorization codes let you enroll manually in EduNav (you must complete this second step). For in-person classes, waitlisted students may attend class on the first day to see if space is available, as students physically present may receive authorization code priority from the instructor. For online courses, you may inquire with the instructor via email.
• Other considerations: If you have waitlisted a course requiring a prerequisite you are currently taking, you must pass the prerequisite course to move off the waitlist. If you do not pass, other waitlisted students who meet the course enrollment requirements will move ahead of you should seats open.

MyPortal allows you to check your schedule, confirm your enrollment status for any waitlisted classes, and pay any tuition fees if moved to a fully enrolled status:

1. Log in to MyPortal
2. Click on "Registration" from your menu
3. Click on "Manage My Waitlist"

If you are having difficulty registering through EduNav, our support team is ready to assist you. If you are having difficulty registering through EduNav, you may choose to opt out of EduNav. Opting out means that, when you click on the Register and Drop Classes link in MyPortal, you’ll go to the MyPortal registration page, not EduNav.

To opt out, you’ll need to work with EduNav Support during their working hours. If you reach them after hours, you can still request to be opted out, and they will reach out to you—usually through EduNav chat—the next time they are open.

Follow these steps to opt-out of EduNav:

1. Launch EduNav from either MyPortal by clicking on the Register and Drop Classes link. You will be redirected to EduNav, and you will see the main EduNav screen. 
2. Click the blue Chat balloon in the lower right corner to open the Chat window. In the Chat window, you’ll see a number of options. Click Registering, Dropping, or Swapping Classes.
3. Ask to be opted out of EduNav by typing in the text box. You’ll be connected to a live EduNav support representative, who will work with you to resolve your issue. If EduNav cannot solve the problem, they’ll opt you out. This process usually takes 2-5 minutes.
4. Your EduNav support representative will tell you when the opt out is complete. At that point, you should:
   1. Quit out of EduNav
   2. Go back to MyPortal, and
   3. Click on the Register and Drop Classes link: you’ll now go to WebAdvisor, where you can complete your registration.

Once you are opted out of EduNav, you’ll stay opted out for the rest of the registration period.

What does opting out of EduNav mean?

Opting out means students will not be redirected to EduNav automatically from MyPortal for registration purposes.

If I opt out of EduNav, is it permanent?

No, opting out only applies to the current registration period. There is no permanent option.

If I opt out does that mean I can't use EduNav at all?

No, students can still access EduNav. They will still have access to both the schedule and planning mode. The planning mode allows students to view their official Student Educational Plan if a counselor created one.

What are reasons to opt out?

Reasons to opt out of EduNav include but are not limited to: time is of the essence and a registration issue cannot be resolved immediately or to accommodate students with certain disabilities. Students who may be experiencing some confusion using this new system are encouraged to visit or call the Registration Help Center. Experiencing some confusion is not a reason to opt out. As we move forward with EduNav, all students will eventually be registering through EduNav.

How do I opt out?

Before students opt out we highly recommend that they visit or call the Registration Help Center for additional assistance. Students might be able to resolve registration issues without having to opt out. Students who need assistance outside of normal MVC business hours can contact EduNav via the Chat feature.
