Early Registration: Self-Identify as Student Parent for Priority Registration
As a student parent, you have the right to register early for your classes. Early registration gives you a chance to choose class times before courses fill up. This can help you build a schedule around childcare, work or school hours, helping you stay on track toward graduation. Students who are the parent or legal guardian of a child under 18 years old qualifies for early registration.
To ensure you are assigned the correct priority registration date, please complete your self-identification at least one month before priority registration begins for the upcoming term. Step-by-step instructions on how to self-identify as student parent can be found below.
