Overview of the Registration Process How-to guides
STEP 1
Registration Notices are emailed to your University email account if you are eligible for Priority Registration. The notice will indicate your priority registration appointment start time, which is the earliest time you may access your myCSUSTAN account for registration purposes. The notice also includes any Service Indicators (or holds) that must be cleared before you will be allowed to register for any classes.
Registration appointments are determined by units completed within class level in the following order: Seniors, classified students in masters and credential programs, juniors, sophomores, freshmen, and unclassified postbaccalaureate students.
Priority Registration You are eligible for Priority Registration if 1) you were admitted as a returning student and have accepted and paid your Enrollment Confirmation Deposit by October 1st for Spring or March 24 for Fall, or 2) you are a continuing student (enrolled in classes within the preceding 12 months) and have not been academically or administratively disqualified, and have not applied for graduation for a prior term.
Eligible students who do not receive an Appointment Notice three days before the beginning of Priority Registration should call the Registration Helpline at (209) 667-3264.
New Undergraduate Students will NOT receive a Registration Notice and must register for and attend a New Student Orientation to register for classes (See New Student Orientation page for dates and more information).

STEP 3
Select Courses: If Advising Required is noted on your Appointment Notice, you are required to meet with your major advisor to select courses. Once you have been advised, your major department will release your advising hold and you will be enabled to register beginning at your scheduled time.
Permission Numbers or a Registration Options Form are to be used to add courses under the following circumstances. Check the "Registration Activity Dates" section of the Schedule Informational Guide for all pertinent registration periods.
You must use a Registration Options form to:
- Change your grading option after Census Date.
- Register for a course as an Audit (requires instructor's signature)
- Add more than the allowable units (Excess Units) for that term (requires department chair's signature)
- Register for courses that have a Time Conflict (requires instructors' signature)
You must use a Permission Number to:
- Add a full class and/or a class for which you are waitlisted
- Add a course which is restricted
- Add a course without also adding its co-requisite course(s)
Individual Study, Cooperative Education, Thesis, Project, Internship, and Fieldwork: These courses are not specifically listed, but they are offered by most departments every semester. Students must obtain special forms from their departments, Enrollment Services, or find the forms online to register for these courses. Completed forms, including required signatures, must be submitted to Enrollment Services no later than census date.
STEP 4
Your Time to Register: You may register at myCSUSTAN at your appointment time or anytime thereafter during any scheduled Web registration period for that term. Students may not register prior to their appointment. Registering at your appointment time will give you priority in course selection for available courses. Check the "Registration Activity Dates" section of the Schedule Informational Guide for all pertinent registration periods.
For instructions on registering online refer to this page.
STEP 5
Verify Your Classes: After you have registered, you may verify your complete course schedule, including Waitlisted courses, via myCSUSTAN by selecting the "My Class Schedule" option.
STEP 6
Pay your fees on time: All fees for registration are due and payable by close of business on the due date at the Cashier's Office, Stockton Campus, drop box outside the Cashier's Office, or by a Web payment. A payment made using the drop box after close of business on the due date will be counted as a LATE payment. Mailed payments must be received by close of business on the due date. (Refer to the Money Matters section for specific fee payment information.)
On-time payment or a timely formal withdrawal from all courses by the student is necessary to avoid a debt to the University and/or penalty fees. Disenrollment action will be taken by the University for failure to pay fees when due.
