Standard Registration Periods

CMC’s academic year is three semester (summer, fall, spring). Standard registration periods pertain to credit courses that start the first week of the semester (standard) and courses that start after the first week (non-standard). Click on the links below for more information.

Early Registration
Early Registration precedes the registration time period. The specific time period is designated by the academic calendar and provides an opportunity for currently enrolled degree- or certificate-seeking student to register early for the upcoming semester. Students must meet campus academic advising requirements and have a zero balance on their account. Payment is deferred to a later date and not due at the time of early registration. An invoice will be mailed to the student. Fax-in, in-person, and phone-in registration methods are available during this period. Early registration is offered for prior to fall and spring semesters only. No early registration period is offered for summer semester.
Registration
Registration follows early registration. The specific time period is designated by the academic calendar and is open to all students and for all class types (credit and Continuing Education/non-credit, and CEU). All methods of registration (in-person, phone, fax, mail, and online) are available for students to use. Payment is due at the time of registration during this period.
Drop/Add Period

Drop/Add Period for standard length courses is the first week of the semester. It is intended for students making changes to their current schedule or registering for a standard length course before the course has started. Some flexibility is needed to allow for students to drop/add courses or register for a course provided they meet the following “Drop/Add Period” criteria:

  • Currently registered student dropping and/or adding courses to make a schedule change will be allowed to register after the first class session during the drop/add period with approval from both the course faculty and campus instructional leader or designee.
  •  Students starting the registration process are allowed to register for a class during drop/add period at least one day before the first class session. Student must meet campus advising requirements and get approval from the academic advisor or designee. 

The standard drop/add registration form will be used for this registration transaction.

Refund and Withdrawal Dates

The last day to withdrawl with a refund and the final withdrawal date vary from class to class. Please see your Campus Schedule to find your specifc class.

Late Starting Classes
Late Starting Classes are classes that start the second week of the semester or later. These classes are intended for students to add classes to their schedule or for a new student to get registered for classes that have not started. Registration for late starting classes needs to be completed prior to the first day of class.
