The Records and Registration office maintains timely and accurate records on enrollment, and the academic progress and accomplishments of its students, while maintaining the privacy and security of those records. All updates and changes to a student’s academic record are processed through the Records and Registration office. Many of the forms needed to facilitate these processes are available in the Records and Registration Forms Library.
Registration activities for new and continuing students, including eligibility for registration and assignment of registration appointments, are managed by the Records and Registration office. Students may register for classes on the web using CI Records.
Students are responsible for managing their programs of study; obtaining any authorizations required to add, drop or swap classes or to change the basis of grading for a class. Such changes can be made on the web in myCI prior to the start of classes without any authorization.

Beginning with the fourth week of instruction, all enrollment changes must be requested by obtaining required signatures on the Change of Program form (PDF, 365KB) and having the form processed at the Enrollment Center.
Students are responsible for any additional fees incurred as a result of adding classes. Please refer to the Change of Program Table (PDF, 172KB) in this Schedule of Classes for information on Change of Program deadlines and required authorizations.

This access is offered without students being required to be admitted formally to the host campus and sometimes without paying additional fees. Although courses taken on any CSU campus will transfer to the student’s home CSU campus as at least elective credit, students should consult their home campus academic advisors to determine how such courses may apply to their degree programs before enrolling at the host campus. All applications for participation in the Intrasystem Concurrent or Visitor programs are usually due four (4) weeks before the first day of the start of the term, but deadlines may differ by campus. Please note: Specific eligiblity requirements and enrollment conditions must be met in order to participate in the program. Refer to the application form for more details.
