Enrollment

Visit the CCSF Registration page for information on how to register for classes.

Before the first day of instruction: If enrollment is full then you can elect to be added to a waitlist. If space opens up in the course (i.e. if an enrolled student drops) then waitlisted students are given an opportunity to enroll in the course with a notification to their @mail.ccsf.edu email address. This opportunity is only open for 24 hours and if you don't act on it, you are removed from the waitlist and the next student is given the opportunity.

After the first day of instruction: I will authorize adding students if there is capacity only on the first day of instruction (i.e. if an enrolled student drops the course). I will not add students after the first day of instruction. If you are interested in enrolling in the class you must Submit a Class Add Request in your RAMID Portal. I will authorize add requests based on waitlist priority. Note that if your Add Request is authorized, you will receive a notification email and have only 24 hours to officially enroll in the class through your myRAM portal. 

After the first week of the semester, no shows (students who have not attended nor submitted any assignments) will be dropped from the course.
