Registering for Classes by Phone

Student Telephone Assisted Registration (STAR)

Former and new students must apply and be assigned appointment times to register before using these instructions. By following the simple instructions given over the phone, you may register for classes, make changes to your schedule, check your wait-listed classes, request a parking permit and pay your fees by credit card from any touch-tone phone. It is also possible to listen to your grades and GPA through STAR.

A Personal Identification Number (PIN) is required of all students in order to prevent unauthorized access to your records. Students will be unable to register without entering a PIN. If you don't have a PIN, be prepared to create a four-digit number when you login to the registration system. It should be a significant number that you won't forget.

Before you call

Plan your schedule. Make sure you check prerequisite requirements.
List the course ID and call numbers.
Have a paper and pencil available to take notes.
Have your credit card or checkbook ready.
Know your Social Security number.
Know your PIN, if you have previously submitted a number.
If you have forgotten your PIN, present a photo identification at the Admissions and Records Office in order to retrieve or change the number. For security reasons, the number cannot be released over the phone.
Have a significant, four-digit number ready to enter into the computer system if you do not currently have a PIN on file.

When you call

Listen carefully and follow the prompts given over the phone.

If paying by credit card, please make sure that your transaction is approved before you exit the system. If paying by check or money order, make your payment immediately.

First class meeting: You must be there! Attendance at the first class meeting is required. If you do not attend the first class meeting, or if you are more than 30 minutes late, the instructor has the option to drop you from class to accommodate students on waiting lists. However, it is the responsibility of the student to officially drop classes in which he or she no longer wishes to be enrolled.

Use STAR or the online registration system to get a confirmation of enrollment.

Please note:
Repetition of courses is allowed only under specific circumstances as defined here. Repetition is prohibited in all other circumstances. A student may repeat a course in which he/she received a substandard grade. The term "substandard" has been defined as meaning course work for which the grading symbols "D," "F" and/or "NP" have been recorded. However, a course in which a substandard grade was received may be repeated only once regardless of the resulting grade. If you receive an instructor's approval to be added to a class from a waiting list, you MUST add your class online, by STAR, or by submitting your add form to the Admissions Office.

You may use the STAR system to drop quarter-length courses not requiring an instructor's signature during the first three weeks of the quarter.
