    Questions students ask

    When can I sign up for spring 2027 classes at Cerritos?

    Priority groups (veterans, foster youth, DSPS, EOPS and others): Monday, October 19, 2026. Continuing students: Thursday, October 29, 2026. New and returning students (open registration): Friday, November 20, 2026. Your exact time is the registration appointment shown in Cerritos’ student portal.

    Why do some students get to register before me?

    California's community colleges follow a registration order set by state rules (California Code of Regulations, Title 5, section 58108). Groups the law names come first, including active-duty military and veterans, current and former foster youth, and students in DSPS, EOPS or CalWORKs. Next are continuing students who have finished orientation, placement and an education plan with a counselor. Cerritos sets the exact order within those rules.

    How do I get an earlier registration time at Cerritos?

    Finish orientation, placement and an education plan with a counselor at Cerritos before registration opens, and stay in good academic standing. Students can lose priority after two terms in a row on academic or progress probation (some colleges now call it "notice"), or once they pass 100 degree-applicable units.

    What if the class I need is full?

    Join the waitlist if the section has one, and keep an eye on it through the first week: seats open up as students drop. Depending on the college, you are either added automatically or sent a permission number or add code that expires, so check your email. Going to the first class meeting matters, since instructors often add waitlisted students who show up.
