Registration for Citrus College summer and fall 2017 semesters will soon be a combined process and both will begin May 15.
In order to receive the earliest registration appointment possible, students must complete assessment orientation and a Student Educational Plan as soon as possible, counselor Cathy Napoli said.
Citrus student Seley Baez said she believes this new combined process will create conflict.
“Not only do you have to think about which classes you want to take in the summer, but also which classes you want to take in the fall,” Baez said. “Some people may only want to take classes during the fall and not the summer and that would be very confusing when registering.”
Citrus student Daniel Pichardo said he believes it is necessary to keep them separate.
“I advise against it because the fact is that there is a big gap in time from when you register to when you start your classes,” Pichardo said. “Our schedules are constantly changing and if we forget that we had registered for classes in the fall before we have even taken our summer classes, then we may agree to things that will conflict with our future schedules.”
The deadline to petition for priority registration is April 17. Orientation assessment and SEP will also take place at that time. Napoli said students will be able to view registration appointments as early as May 1.
The 2016-2017 Free Application for Federal Student Aid and California Board of Governor’s Fee Wavier must be completed for summer term and the 2017-2018 FAFSA/BOGFW must be completed for the fall term.
Financial aid will be available for both summer and fall terms.
“Students who have any additional questions and would like to schedule an appointment with Gerald Sequeira, dean of admission, may do so by contacting Jamie Richmond,” Napoli said.
There will be more information regarding summer and fall registration in the coming weeks.
Students can visit the college website in April, for any additional announcements and any changes made.
