How to register for classes:
You can register for classes after you have completed the CCC application, are admitted to CCC, and have any outstanding holds removed from your account [is this accurate?].
CCC uses a self-service registration system for you to search for and register for courses. If you have questions at any time, do not hesitate to contact us or visit us in-person.

How to add, drop, or withdraw from classes:
- Adding a Class
Step-by-step how to images and instructions.
- Dropping a Class
When you drop a class it will be basically like you were never enrolled in that class in the first place. You can drop your classes any time before the semester starts up until the drop period is over. If something feels off early on in your class—maybe the workload is too heavy, or the class isn’t what you expected—you can walk away with zero consequences.
Step-by-step how to images and instructions.
- Withdraw from a Class
As soon as the add/drop period ends, you can no longer drop the class, and a “W” grade, or withdraw, will appear on your transcript. The “W” does not affect your GPA, but it stays on your record.
A withdrawal isn’t necessarily a bad decision. If you’re struggling and at risk of failing, withdrawing can protect your GPA. However, you still want to put a lot of thought into it as it can have future consequences.
Step-by-step how to images and instructions.
What is the impact of dropping or withdrawing from a class?
You as a student are solely responsible for the tuition and fees of your courses. If you drop or withdraw from a course after the refund period, you will be charged the full amount of the course. CCC does not offer a prorated refund.There can also be consequences for your financial aid. We always recommend talking to your academic advisor before dropping a class, so you can make an informed decision.
- Auditing a Class
Auditing a class means attending a class to learn the material without getting college credit for it. The course will still be on your transcript, but will not affect your GPA. In a class audit, students do not take exams.
How to request to audit a class?
To audit a class, you must first enroll, register for the class, and get instructor approval. Submit a signed Audit form to the Admissions & Enrollment Services Office before the open registration add/drop deadline. Audited classes require regular tuition plus a $25 per credit-hour fee.Pros and cons of auditing a class:
Pros: The class is not graded and is great for hobbyists.
Cons: Financial aid like grants and loans may not cover an audited class. The class does not count toward degree progression. Auditing a class does include an extra fee on top of tuition.
REgistration Holds
A hold is a restriction that is placed on student records that can prevent enrollment, release of transcripts, release of diplomas, release of financial aid, refunds, and other services. Each hold is placed by a department and released once the hold requirement is resolved.
There are a few types of holds you may see on your student account:
Admissions Hold: You are missing a required step or official document to finalize your admission or proceed to the next registration period. Common examples include missing final high school or college transcripts or a residency verification.
Accounts Receivable Hold: You have a restriction on your student account due to an outstanding or overdue financial balance.
If you have questions about how to resolve these holds, please visit us in person or call or email us right away.
Priority Registration
Priority registration is an early enrollment window that allows eligible students to sign up for classes before the general public. It is designed to reward academic progress and help students secure the specific schedules, required courses, and prerequisite sequences needed to graduate or transfer on time.
Who qualifies?
Currently enrolled students qualify for priority registration, and can register for classes before the general public.
When does it usually open?
Priority registration usually opens in March before the Fall semester, and November before the Spring semester. [is this true?]
