Priority registration is a process during which students closest to graduation are given the first opportunity to register online for their courses for next semester.

Only matriculated students (those in a degree or certificate program) are assigned a priority registration time slot.

Priority registration times are assigned based on the number of cumulative credits you have earned.

You will receive notification of your assigned date and time via MVCC email. You can also find the information in SIRS under Registration.

The first day to register in person is November 16, 2009.

The first day of open registration is November 16, 2009.

A waitlist is a list of students who want to register for a course section that is already full.

In SIRS, follow the Registration menu to "Build My Schedule." When you enter a CRN for a course that is full, you will see the words "Waitlisted Course." Use the drop down menu to select the "WL" option and click "Submit."

No. Students are added to the class in the order they joined the waitlist only if space becomes available.

If a seat becomes available for the afternoon section, you will be automatically registered for it and dropped from the morning section.

If space opens up in a completely different course (not a different section of the same course) and creates a time conflict, your schedule will not be automatically changed. In this case you will be sent an email notifying you that a seat has become available. You will have 24 hours to respond if you want to rearrange your schedule to take the waitlisted class.

You will be automatically registered for the class, space permitting. Once you have been moved from the waitlist to the class, you will be notified via email. Always double check your class schedule in SIRS before the start of classes.

In SIRS, follow the Registration menu to "Build My Schedule." Use the drop down menu to change the course indicator from "WL" to "DW" and click "Submit."
