HIT/CIM Academic Planning
HOW TO GET INTO THE CLASSES
THAT YOU WANT TO TAKE
Due to the high numbers of students who are trying to take our HIT/CIM programs, our classes fill very fast during registration. It is important to understand and follow our priority registration procedures in order to have the best selection of courses:
- Look up your registration appointment date and whether you have any holds on your
registration in advance. On Pipeline, go to Registration and Student Records, then to Check Your Pre-Registration Requirements and Registration Appointment. Summer and Fall registration appointment dates are posted in early April and Spring
registration appointment dates are posted in late October.
- If you are a new student to college and are pursuing an Associate degree, you will
have holds on your account. Please email Gwyer Schuyler, academic counselor, at schuyler@sbcc.edu with your Student ID number and major so that she can request the holds be lifted.
(You can look up your ID number on the home page of the Pipeline registration system
under Registration and Student Records.)
- Register at the time of your appointment for the most course selection.
- The more units that you accumulate through SBCC, the earlier your registration date.
- IMPORTANT: A review of enrolled students in HIT 101 for Fall 2011 found that only
people who had completed or were in progress with 13 units through SBCC had a high
enough priority to get into that class. This is probably the most popular class offered
by SBCC. Don't expect to be able to get into it in your first, maybe even your second,
semester!
- Because you will most likely not be able to get into some of the courses in your major
until you have higher priority in the registration process, you should consider taking courses
outside of your major to increase your priority for the next registration period (some
possible courses to take are COMP 120, COMP 103, PD 100, and General Education courses,
which are listed on our FAQ page).
- Stay enrolled each Fall and Spring in order to have priority as a continuing student
ahead of all new students and students who have taken time away.
- If you have a diagnosed disability, you could contact our DSPS office. One possible accommodation for a disability is to receive a priority registration
date of the first day.
- Veterans and members of the EOPS program receive early priority registration dates.
For more information, go to the Veterans Support website and the EOPS website.
