To enroll at SMC, students should start by going to smc.edu/EnrollInfo to get ready. Students can find a listing of Frequently Asked Questions and video tutorials on how to enroll and use various tools available to students at smc.edu/faq.
While students may enroll at any time after their enrollment date and time, they are encouraged to enroll as close to their assigned date and time as possible, since students who come after them in priority will quickly fill classes. Students may enroll in any class with space available until the evening of the second meeting if the class is less than 90% full.
All enrollment transactions at SMC take place online via Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc. Students may enroll from any location with Internet access, as well as from any computer in the Admissions Office lobby, the SMC Library, or the Cayton Computer Lab (which requires a valid A.S. sticker and password).
To enroll in classes — as well as add or drop classes — students should go to Corsair Connect at smc.edu/cc and enter their username and password, then follow the instructions provided.
To confirm enrollment in the selected classes, students should click on “Student Records” under Home & Profile in the menu on the left, then click “View Enrollment Transaction Receipt,” verify the information is correct, and print out a copy of the receipt. The printout is necessary to contest any discrepancies.
Additional enrollment details can be found in the “Enrollment” section of the Schedule of Classes.
Enrollment Priority
State and local regulations, combined with other factors, determine the order in which a student’s enrollment date and time are assigned. Details about this policy and the specific order of enrollment appointment assignment can be found on the Admissions website. Students may lose their priority enrollment status if they do not complete SMC’s placement process, online orientation, or an abbreviated education plan (if a new or first-time-in-college student) or a comprehensive education plan (if a student who will have earned 15 degree-applicable units by the end of the term). Students may complete their education plans on their own or with the assistance of a counselor. Students who are on academic or progress probation for two consecutive semesters/terms or who have accumulated excessive units or who owe fees from previous terms will also lose enrollment priority. Students who hold seats for others or who buy or sell seats in a class will lose all priority enrollment and be subjected to other disciplinary actions. For more information, students can refer to smc.edu/admissions (click on ‘Policies and Procedures Index’ under the Policies section).
