Priority registration is a system which allows students to register for classes before open registration begins for each semester.

New and returning students can earn priority by completing an orientation. Students who complete this orientation and submit the quiz earn Priority 5. Students who complete COUN 270, Introduction to College, earn Priority 4.

Continuing students (those students who are currently attending Santa Rosa Junior College) are assigned earlier priority registration times. These registrations times are determined by:

  1. The units they have on file at SRJC*
  2. The last two digits of the student’s ID number

* Units on file include: Completed units at Santa Rosa Junior College, in progress units for the current semester, and transferred units from other institutions.

The priority levels are described below.

Priority Level Priority Description
Priority 1 Continuing SRJC students with 42-90.5 units on file
Priority 1A Priority 2 & 3 students who have seen a counselor for early bird planning
Priority 2 Continuing SRJC students with 24-41.5 or over 91+ units on file
Priority 3 Continuing SRJC students with .5-23.5 units on file
Priority 4 New students who have completed a Counseling 270 class
Priority 5 New students who have completed an orientation

Priority 1 students will have the first registration times, followed by Priority 1A, 2, 3, 4, and 5 in that order. Open registration begins after completion of priority registration.

All students are able to register during open registration. Summer priority registration is a simplified system and does not allow for a Priority 1A level.

Note: EOPS students, DSPS (disability) students, and military students qualify for an earlier registration and should work with these respective services.
