Students who activate and check their STLCC email will have first dibs on classes for the fall semester.

Up to a week early, students currently enrolled could register for fall courses.

According to Fitzgerald, early registration opportunities were created in hopes to give students incentive to activate their email accounts and ease volumes when registration begins April 4.

We have a problem on the first day of registration of our system screeching to a halt,” Fitzgerald said. “For the college it would be an expense to ‘fix’ the problem when the system only handles those volumes three times a year.”

Fitzgerald said students who take advantage of this opportunity will have a better chance of ensuring a seat in the class. She said STLCC followed in the footsteps of other universities and community colleges that offer priority registration.

Priority registration dates given to students via email are based on the amount of credits a student has earned.

Students can only register online through Banner Self Service.
