10 SPRING 2016 CLASS SCHEDULE
Class “WAIT LIST” Requirements
When you are unable to find an open section of a course you wish to take, you have
the option of being placed on a “WAIT LIST” for a specific section of that course.
Please note that the following rules apply:
1. Students may add their name to any available “WAIT LIST” up to the last day
of registration prior to the beginning of the term.
2. Students will be added to the “WAIT LIST” on a first-come, first-served basis.
3. Students cannot be placed on a “WAIT LIST” prior to their registration
appointment date.
4. Students on a “WAIT LIST” will have first priority for any seats in a “full” class
that may subsequently become available during the first 20% of the course
PROVIDED that they attend each and every class meeting (for 18 week semester
courses, this is the first 3 weeks of class).
5. “WAIT LIST” will be available only for current class sections that are “full” (that
is, the class has reached its “maximum class size”). No “WAIT LISTS” will be
available for “canceled” class sections or class sections that are not yet “full.”
Not all classes have wait lists.
6. Students cannot remain on a “WAIT LIST” for a section of a course that will
cause a time conflict with a course section in which you are already enrolled.
You will be dropped from the wait list.
7. Students cannot be placed on a “WAIT LIST” for a section of a course when you
are already enrolled in another section of that same course.
8. Students cannot be on more than one “WAIT LIST” for the same course.
9. The Admissions and Records Office will regularly monitor all classes with
existing “WAIT LISTS” for student drops. When an open space on the roster
becomes available, the top student on the wait list will be moved into the class
and notified either by email of this action. We will regularly monitor wait lists
up until 3 days prior to the beginning of the term. Students who are added to
a “WAIT LIST” during the last 3 days prior to the beginning of the term, along
with other students still remaining on the “WAIT LIST,” will be informed of their
status at the first class meeting.
10. On the first-day of class, instructors will determine the number of openings
available in the class, and then offer spaces to students who are on the “WAIT
LIST” (providing they are present in the class) in the order in which their names
appear on the list. The student is responsible for officially adding the class within
published registration dates. Students have until the Friday of the week in which
they are added to the class to pay all fees.
11. After the “WAIT LIST” for the class is exhausted, additional openings, if
any, will be filled by the instructor in accordance with existing college
and district policy.

Proxy Registration
The federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act makes it illegal for the college
to release a student’s confidential educational records, including registration
information, to anyone without the written permission of the student. Therefore,
if you are unable to register for yourself, you may either register at a later date or
have someone else substitute for you provided the following procedure is observed.
YOUR PROXY must have a written statement signed by you authorizing him/her to
register on your behalf. Proxy registration forms are on the bottom portion of the
registration permit form. It is necessary that your authorization be made on the
form provided by the college; however, if you prepare your own statement, it must
contain certain specific information. Contact the Admissions and Records Office
for details at (559) 638-0323.
YOUR PROXY should also have your registration permit, a list of classes you wish
to take (including several alternatives) and sufficient funds to pay the necessary
fees listed under Enrollment Fees on page 178.

them with you if you have a question or concern about your schedule. We will be
unable to help you without your documents.
