    Does Mission have a winter session?

    Yes. Mission’s winter 2027 session runs Jan 4 – Jan 28. A winter class is a full course squeezed into a few weeks, so it can take a requirement off a heavy spring, at the cost of a fast pace.

    Mission’s calendar calls it: “Winter term begins”.

    Which classes fill up first at Mission?

    In Fall 2026, 73% of Mission’s 935 class sections filled up. These filled every section, or nearly every one:

    STAT 10M Introduction to Statistics
    12 of 12 sections full
    BIO 010 Introduction to Biology
    5 of 5 sections full
    BIO 047 Human Anatomy

    Questions students ask

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

    Priority groups (veterans, foster youth, DSPS, EOPS and others): Monday, November 2, 2026. Continuing students: Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Your exact time is the registration appointment shown in Mission’s 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. Mission sets the exact order within those rules.

    How do I get an earlier registration time at Mission?

    Finish orientation, placement and an education plan with a counselor at Mission 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. The list above shows which Mission classes filled last fall, so pick backups for those.

    Can I take winter classes at Mission?

    Yes. Mission’s winter 2027 session runs Jan 4 – Jan 28. Winter classes count the same as spring ones, but cover a full course in a few weeks.
