Questions students ask
When can I sign up for spring 2027 classes at Sacramento City?
Priority groups (veterans, foster youth, DSPS, EOPS and others): Monday, November 23, 2026. Continuing students: Monday, November 30, 2026. New and returning students (open registration): Tuesday, December 22, 2026. Your exact time is the registration appointment shown in Sacramento City’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. Sacramento City sets the exact order within those rules.
How do I get an earlier registration time at Sacramento City?
Finish orientation, placement and an education plan with a counselor at Sacramento City 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.
