RETURNING MATRICULATED STUDENTS

Here is some helpful information to assist you as you register for classes each semester.

  1. Preparation-
    1. Know your major requirements. Have a copy of your major worksheet and CAPP Degree Evaluation to review.
    2. Have a copy of the College Catalog to check on course descriptions, pre- requisites, co- requisites and restrictions.
    3. Make an appointment with your Academic Advisor at least one week before you register for classes.
    4. Review the Schedule of Classes online and check the Registration Timetable for your assigned time slot.
    5. Make a list of the CRN’s (Course Reference Number) that you wish to register for and a list of alternative CRN’s.
  2. Deposit and Holds-
    1. Each semester you are required to submit a deposit of $100 for commuters or $200 for resident students before you can register for classes. 
    2. You should check for any holds on your account at least one week prior to registration so that they can be resolved in a timely fashion.  Holds can include parking violations, Health Center information, tuition balance, dorm damage, Library fees, etc.
    3. If you are registering for classes after the due date set by the Business Office, payment in full is expected on that day.
    4. All newly matriculated students have an Advisor Hold placed on their account for their first two semesters of enrollment.  This hold prohibits registration for classes until it is released by the Academic Advisor.  The hold is released after the student meets with their advisor to discuss coursework, schedule and academic progress.
  3. Registration-
    1. Go to MyYCP and sign into the York College portal.  Go to the For Students tab and click on the YCPWeb.   Click on Student Services, then Registration, Add/Drop Classes, Select a Term and then enter your CRN’s in the spaces available at the bottom of the page.
    2. If you need to drop a class, click on the Action box and click Web Drop.  ClickSubmit Changes on the bottom of the page.
    3. To view your schedule of classes, go to Student Schedule by Day and Time.  If you are registering for the next semester, enter the first day of the next semester at the top of the page or you will view the current semester classes.
  4. Closed classes and error messages-
    1. When you have submitted your CRN’s and a class is closed, you will receive a message telling you that the class or section is closed.  You may petition the course instructor to overload you into their class but they are not obligated to add you.  If they do grant you permission for an overload, you need to have it in writing along with permission from the Department Chair.  Both signatures need to be submitted to the Registrar’s Office so that the class can be manually added to your schedule.
    2. Important error messages:
      1. Time conflict with (10001) - You have already registered for a class that meets at the same time.
      2. Preq and Test Score – Error- There are pre-requisites for this class which you have not yet completed.
      3. Corq_(PSC152) req- This class requires a co-requisite to be taken at the same time.  Example – PSC152 lecture and PSC153 lab.
      4. Dup Crse with Sec –(10887) – You have attempted to register for the same section of a class more than once.
      5.  Major Restriction - This class is restricted to students within certain majors.

      7.  Maximum Hours Exceeded- You have attempted to register for more credits than you are allowed to take.  Please contact the Registrar’s Office for further assistance.
  1. Pass/Fail and Audit classes- You will be able to register for Pass/Fail or Audit classes by clicking on the highlighted Grade Mode and adjusting or selecting the grade mode accordingly.  You can also navigate to Change Class Options and select Pass/Fail or Audit for the appropriate class(es).
