Registration Priority

The objective of priority registration is to give preference to students based on the variables listed below. The priority system gives a "weighted count" to each student. This is calculated automatically at the time a student is assigned a registration appointment.

Priority registration appointments are based on Board Policy 5055 which includes the following factors:

1. Number of Delta A.A.-Appropriate Units Completed:

   00 - 15 = +1

   16 - 30 = +2

   31 - 45 = +4

   46 - 60 = +6

   61 - 75 = +8

   76 - 90 = +5

   91 - 100 = +3

   101 - 110 = +1

   More than 110 Units Completed = 0

2. Highest Degree Earned or Eligible for:
   Lower Priority will be assigned to students who have received a B.A./B.S. or higher degree at any accredited institution:
   B.A./B.S. Degree = -1
3. Declared Goal:
   Priority for declaration of an A.A./A.S., transfer, certificate, or retraining as one of top four educational goals = +1
4. Assessment Requirements Met:
   Priority for completion of the Matriculation Assessment requirements described in Board Policy 5051 = +1
5. Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA):
   Priority for cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 or greater over a cumulative GPA below 2.0. Additional priority for a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater GPA will be based on A.A./A.S. Degree - applicable courses and priority for GPA will be given only to those students whose GPA is based on 15 or more units:
   2.0 to 2.99 of A.A./A.S. units = +1
   3.0 or better of A.A./A.S. units = +2
6. Student Education Plan Completed:
   Preference will be given to students who have filed a Student Education Plan (SEP) = +1
7. Academic Rehabilitation:
   Priority for completion of the rehabilitation process = +1
8. Progress Probation:
   Lower priority if more than 50% of grades are "W", "I", or "NP" in consecutive semesters.
   Two semesters = -2
   Three consecutive terms = -3
9. Academic Probation:
   Lower priority for students who are recorded as being on academic probation = -1
10. Guidance Orientation and Study Skills Classes:
    Priority will be given to students who complete any of the following guidance/orientation or study skills courses:
    GUID 10, 11A, 12, 14, 16, 75,75A, 85 or English 33A = +1
    Priority will be given to students who complete a Guidance 100 course. This priority will be given only for the first semester after the credit has been recorded = +1
