Registering for Classes
The Office of the Registrar processes your class registration. Adding courses, dropping courses, withdrawing from courses, being placed on a waitlist, and verifying your classes are important steps that may impact your registration.
Adding Courses
You may add courses during your enrollment times, the open enrollment, or during the Add/Drop period either by using MyCSUEB, or contact the appropriate academic department office if you need assistance with a particular class. You have the right to add classes during the Add/Drop period, subject to your having successfully completed the prerequisites (coursework and/or consent of instructor as stated in the Catalog) and to the availability of sufficient capacity in the class to accommodate you. Official policy information about adding a course can be found in the University Catalog.
Dropping Courses
The term "drop" refers to official deletion of a course from your record. If you cannot continue enrollment in a course for which you have enrolled for a particular quarter, you must officially drop the course using MyCSUEB. You may drop courses through the end of the Add/Drop period without the course appearing on your permanent record. After the Add/Drop period, students may only withdraw from courses prior to the seventh week withdrawal deadline. Check for complete official policy information about dropping a course in the University Catalog.
Withdrawing From A Course
Withdrawing from a course refers to official termination of enrollment in a class after the Add/Drop period. You cannot "drop" after the end of the Add/Drop period, but you can "withdraw." You can withdraw from a class only for serious health or personal problems beyond your control. If you withdraw from a class, the class will appear on your record with a grade of "W."
Beginning the third week of classes, you will be permitted to withdraw from courses by printing the downloadable "Withdrawal" form. On the form, state the reason for the withdrawal, obtain approvals of the instructor and department chair, and return the completed form to the Student Information Lobby or the Academic Services Office. The Concord Campus Academic Services may approve Withdrawals for courses offered at Concord.
For complete official policy information and other details concerning Withdrawals, or Withdrawing from the University entirely, see the University Catalog.
Waitlists
If a course is full when you attempt to register, you may have the option of placing your name on a waitlist for that class. If openings become available, you will be added to the class and notified by the University via your Horizon student e-mail account. Departments may also enroll students from the waitlist if space becomes available. Students are responsible for the fees and grade for all classes in which they are enrolled from the waitlist. There is also no guarantee of enrollment from a waitlist, as enrollment depends on space availability, and students will not be added from the waitlist if any of the following circumstances exist:
- Time conflict with another course
- Already in the course but in a different section
- Course would exceed the maximum allowable units for enrollment
All enrollment must be completed by the end of the add/drop deadline for the term. For important dates and deadlines regarding enrollment, please visit Important Dates.
Verifying Your Classes
You may verify your classes in MyCSUEB during the registration process to find out if you have received entry into the classes you have selected. Be sure to review the classes for course days and times, locations and other details, or to find out if you have been placed on a waitlist or hold list. You will be held financially responsible for all classes in which you are enrolled at the end of the add/drop period.
Fee Payment Deadline
Students must pay their fees by the fee payment deadline for each quarter term or be subject to disenrollment of classes. See the Important Dates section for fee payment deadlines.
Late Registration
If you enroll in classes during the late registration period, you will pay an additional $25 late fee. You must pay your fees by the late registration period due date to avoid cancellation of your enrolled and waitlisted courses.
