Priority Registration

What is Priority Registration? 

Priority Registration is the best way to get the classes you need and not end up on the wait list. This helps you get the classes you need to achieve your goals.

Each student at CR is assigned a registration date.

Your registration date is based on whether you have Priority Registration.

If you have Priority Registration – you register earlier than the rest of the CR student body.

How do you receive Priority Registration?

To receive Priority Registration you must complete the following:

  1. New student orientation (online)
  2. Develop a Student Education Plan (SEP) by meeting with an academic advisor or counselor

In addition to completing the services above, to qualify for Priority Registration, you must also:

  • Have an eligible educational goal
  • Be in good academic and/or progress standing
  • Have not earned more than 100 degree-applicable units
  • Have not earned an Associate’s Degree or higher
