How do I register for classes?

The college offers students 3 options:

#1 Online registration using Web Link

• Connect to the SRJC web site at http://www.santarosa.edu/weblink
• Select semester to enroll in
• Select function (various on-line services are available)
• Enter your SSN and your Birthdate
• Click the button labeled "Submit SSN"

#2 Registering by telephone (TLC Express)

Telephone registration through SRJC's TLC Express (Telephone Link to College) is available to students who currently attended SRJC or have submitted an Application for Admission 48 hours prior to using TLC Express. The number is (707) 525-3800. If you live outside the Santa Rosa area, you can call the TLC Express through the college's 800 number: 1-800-540-4425.

#3 Registering on the campus in person at Bailey Hall.

On-campus, in-person registration for classes takes place in the Admissions and Records Office in Bailey Hall. Students may also register in off-campus classes at the off-campus class site on the first meeting of the class.

What will it cost?

Enrollment fee -
$11.00/unit for California residents.
$145.00/unit for non-resident students
$156.00/unit for International students with visas
This is a state requirement for which there are no waivers or deferments.

SRJC charges a fee to support the operation of Health Services. This is a required fee with waivers for BOGG recipients, students who depend exclusively on prayer for healing, apprenticeship and non-credit students. The health fee is $11.00.

The Student Representation Fee of $1.00 will provide support for students or representatives who state positions and viewpoints before city, county, and district governments and before offices and agencies of the state and federal government. You may, for religious, political, financial, or moral reasons refuse to pay the Student Representation Fee.

What if a class is full?

During registration and up to the first day of classes, a realistic number of enrollment slots beyond the maximum class size will be available to students on a "Wait List" basis. Students willing to place their name on the wait list are expected to pay all appropriate fees but will find "wait" for "Wait List" next to the course on their receipt of classes. Final enrollment in such classes is NOT guaranteed. Wait-listed students must attend class. Drops by other students will automatically advance your standing. After the second class meeting, the instructor will drop "no shows." Students are encouraged to check with their instructor after the first class meeting to confirm their enrollment status.

In the schedule there are 2 sets of certificate requirements, which one applies to me?

I see that CIS 99i can be substititued for CIS 58.54 or CIS 58.55. How does this work?

CIS 99i is an internship course. Our training program emphasizes "hands on" experience. The Web Content course (CIS 58.54) and Business of Web (CIS 58.55) are courses which allow students to work in teams to design sites for non profit organizations in Sonoma County. Some students substitute an internship for one or both of these courses.

This system works well for students who are already working in the Web development field and want to earn units for work they are currently doing on the job.

Another approach is to enroll in an Internship after completing one or both of the CIS courses. When applying for an internship it is essential that you have mastered the skills reguired by the intern employer.

We encourage students to consider CIS 99i as an option when completing the certificate. For more information on the internship process contact
