New students must be accepted to CFCC before they are eligible to register. Registration information will be mailed with your acceptance letter. Please review the Admission process for new students to make sure you have completed the necessary requirements for admission.

New students are required to view an online orientation session . During orientation, students learn what to expect at CFCC and how to connect with campus resources.

If you are transferring to CFCC from another school, please send your transcript as soon as possible. Late receipt of transcripts could delay your registration for certain courses. Transcripts should be delivered to CFCC at least two weeks prior to any registration period.

Currently enrolled students register each semester for the upcoming term during early registration. Students receive an email through their myCFCC account with registration instructions, priority dates, and advisor details. Early registration for Fall/Summer occurs in April; Spring early registration occurs in October. Check the Academic Calendar for exact dates.

Registration is completed online via Self Service – Student Planning. Review our tutorial on How to Register . Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email with payment, refund, and attendance details.

Students may take up to 18 credit hours per semester. To request an overload, contact the Director of Academic Advising or the Dean of Student Support Services (requires a minimum 3.0 GPA).

Students returning to CFCC who have not been enrolled for one or more academic years must submit a new admissions application.
