The student education plan provides students with a roadmap to complete their educational goal of earning a certificate, associate degree, and/or transfer to a four-year college or university. Students can schedule an appointment to complete a Student Education Plan with an academic counselor after completing their assessment.  (see STEP 4 instructions)

Upon completion of the steps to success, you will be assigned a course registration date for the subsequent term. You may register for courses any day and time following your course registration date. Priority registration is assigned to students who complete orientation, assessment, and student education plan. Please pay your fees owed to the college to avoid being dropped from your courses prior to the start of the subsequent term by the established deadline.

• Register for classes. Pay your fees

Attention: by the time you have to pay for classes, you may still see that you owe a lot of money on CLASS-Web. If you qualify for AB 540 status do not drop your classes because the amount of tuition is high; this process takes time. If you are eligible for AB 540 status and your documents are procesed, you will see your tuition rate lower.
