Important Reminders
- Your Sierra College application must be on file and processed before registering for any classes. You must also clear any holds on your account (View Step 3 above).
- Students on a waitlist stand a higher chance of receiving an Add Code. Try to get onto the class waitlist before the first day of classes.
- After the add/drop/refund deadline, you must obtain a Registration Form, including your instructor’s signature and Add Code. You must then register in person at the Admissions Office.
- Late Start or Fast Track classes may be added before their start date without an Add Code if there is still space in the class. If the class is full, you must follow the steps for How do I add a class after it has begun?
