Students looking to enroll in classes at CCSF are encouraged to check out the enrollment section of the CCSF website.

Traditionally many of the classes I teach are in high demand and the courses fill up quickly,  I have provided some information here that may be useful to you in your planning, if the class is full or you are looking to get on the wait list.  The wait lists at CCSF are dynamic and are managed electronically.  Prior to the class starting I have no control the adding of student to these lists or the order of names on these lists.  If you attempt to register for a class that is full and there is space on the wait list you should be given the option within the computerized registration system to add your name to a wait list.  If a student drops the class prior to the start of the semester the computer will automatically offer the space to the first person on the list, and they will have 48 hours to register.  If they successfully register for the available space. All students on the wait list will move up in order and a new space will open up on the list.  This happens continually and dynamically before the start of the semester. 

Your best chances to obtain a space in class are to get your name on this list by attempting to register for the class and opting on to the wait list function.  If you do not get a space on the wait list because it is full, I suggest you check back again as the movement on the list dynamically moves and a single space may show up when a wait listed student registers for the class.

At the start of the semester, if there are any available spaces due to students registering but not showing up on the first day of class.  I will make those spaces available to students who are on the wait list and are present at the first meeting of the laboratory section of the class.  In this way over the last few semesters,  I have been able to accommodate most student on the wait list who show up to add the class.  Any students who just show up or contact me on the first day of class will be given priority behind the students on the wait list and based on their registration appointments.

So you best option is to get onto the computerized wait list function.  As I mentioned I have no control of the management of this list so if you have technical questions, please contact Admissions and Records.

I hope this information helps in your academic planning.
