Priority Registration Tips for current students

If you are a student enrolled in the 2022 fall semester, you are eligible for priority registration for winter intersession and spring semester 2023. It is important that you take full advantage of your priority by officially registering for classes at your designated date and time or any time after that. 

Please be aware that your priority registration date and time is NOT a literal in-person appointment with a counselor. Instead, it is a specific date and time that opens registration access to your Self-Service student account.

 To find your initial registration date and time, do the following:

Go to Self-Service (https://sso.sjeccd.edu/) and log in to your account.

  •  In the SSO portal, click on the Self-Service icon
  • On the left side main menu, click on Academics and scroll to the Registration Profile section (at the bottom left).
  • On the My Registration Priority Profile page, find the upcoming term and note when your registration opportunity begins. Please take advantage of it!

 The official schedule of classes for Intersession and Spring 2023 is available now. Even though you cannot yet register. You can access the schedule in the following ways:

 

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Admissions & Records Office at the phone number or email noted below:
