How to Register for Classes at RCC

After submitting an application for admissions most new-to-college students are required to participate in Assessment and Orientation/Group Counseling before they can register.

For more information on exemptions, check the RCC Student Handbook or talk with a walk-in counselor on one of our campuses. To better ensure success in college, returning and continuing students are encouraged to participate in the Assessment Orientation/Group Counseling process if they have not done so.

To make arrangements to complete the assessment test, call the Assessment Center at one of our campuses for hours: Moreno Valley (951) 571-6492, Norco (951) 372-7156, Riverside (951) 222-8451. Tests are usually given on a walk-in basis with no appointment necessary.

After completing the assessment test, contact the Counseling Department at one of the campuses to schedule an orientation/group counseling session: Moreno Valley (951) 571-6104, Norco (951) 372-7101, Riverside (951) 222-8440.

How to Register

After completing Assessment and Orientation, new students can register for classes. Continuing students can register without reapplying.

Class Schedules

Class schedules are available approximately two months prior to each term. They are automatically mailed to Continuing Students and to New and Returning Students who have submitted applications and are available on campus and by calling (951) 222-8857. You can view the latest schedule by clicking here. During the registration period you will also be able to view classes that are still open on WebAdvisor.

fall 2009 Registration

The Fall term begins August 31and ends December 18.  Both full-term and short term/late start classes will be offered. Students may view their registration appointment and see if there are any holds on their account on WebAdvisor beginning July 9. Registration begins for Continuing Students on July 27. Registration dates are based on number of units completed at RCC. New and Returning Students register after Continuing Students. NOTE:  As of 09FAL students will be dropped from unpaid classes before the term begins.

Waitlists

Before the beginning of the semester, if a class is closed, you may place your name on a waitlist (if available). If a seat becomes available, you will automatically be added and your student account will be charged with the enrollment fees. Please check your schedule regularly online with WebAdvisor and/or your RCC email account to confirm your status *.

Students registered from the Waitlist must attend the first day of class. Students not registered from the Waitlist are encouraged to attend class the first day to see if space is available and the instructor is willing to add them.

Waitlisting ends midnight of the evening prior to the first class meeting. You must drop yourself from the class by the drop and refund deadlines if you do not intend to remain in the class. You can manage your waitlist on WebAdvisor by doing the following:

• Log in to WebAdvisor
• Click on "Register and Drop Classes"
• Then click on "Manage My Waitlist"
