Registration

Once you have completed the Application for Admission and taken the CSI Placement Test, you are ready to get registered for classes.

Pick up a course schedule at the Student Information Office or the CSI bookstore, or check out the online version, and begin to plan your class schedule. Your advisor will assist you with choosing your classes. Current students can register online.

When choosing your courses be sure to check the requirements for your major in the CSI catalog, and meet with your advisor to ensure that you are taking the proper courses. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year university should contact the university as early as possible and work closely with their advisor to ensure that they meet all requirements.
Check the CSI catalog to determine when you can register for each semester.

All matriculated students initially register during the regular registration period. Registration is not complete until students have paid the fees for the term for which they are registering. Early registration is for those students who are attending courses at CSI during the term in which the early registration period falls. The late registration period is during the first two weeks of classes in the fall and spring terms, and the first week of the summer term. Students attempting to register during the second week of the fall or spring term or on Thursday or Friday of the summer term must have written permission of the teachers of the classes for which they are attempting to register. The teachers are not required to give their permission. Students will not be allowed to register after the first two weeks of the term for any courses which start during the first week of the term.

Students entering late must make up all work missed in the courses in which they enroll.

Registration Policies

Identification Cards

A nontransferable student identification card will be issued at the time of registration. Students will need it for identification purposes to buy materials in the bookstore, to use the library facilities materials, to obtain admittance to college activities, to use the computer labs, and to make changes in their major. Students must carry the student identification card with them at all times when on campus.

NOTE: Do not lose or misplace the student identification card, and do not let anyone else use it at any time.
