Registration Email
A registration email informs you of the first registration appointment available based on your eligible priority. For the best selection of classes, register on the date and time indicated in the email, however, the email does not guarantee your enrollment in any class.
- NEW STUDENTS are those who have never attended Cypress or Fullerton College. New students will receive registration information by email based on the date their online Application for Admission is received.
- RETURNING STUDENTS are those who have previously attended Cypress or Fullerton College but did not register into a class for the current semester. Returning students will receive registration information by email based on the date their online Application for Admission is received.
- CONTINUING STUDENTS are those registered in a course at Cypress or Fullerton College and will receive a grade or a “W” at the end of the current semester (either Fall or Spring). Continuing students will receive a registration reminder by email. For registration procedures, refer to the Continuing Student Registration Schedule in the Schedule of Classes.
- SPECIAL ADMIT STUDENTS (formerly Bridge students) are those enrolled in K-12 and must submit an online Application for Admission and a Special Admit Form. A new Special Admit Form must be completed and submitted each semester before you are permitted to register.

On your Registration Appointment Day
Complete the
MyGateway Registration Worksheet in the
Schedule of Classes and follow the prompts given by
MyGateway. Hours for
MyGateway can be found on the
MyGateway Registration Worksheet.
Adding Classes
Providing prerequisites have been cleared by a
counselor, and class seats are available, classes can be added during
MyGateway registration. After registration is closed, students must obtain a four-digit Add Code from the instructor of the class(es) they wish to add. See the
How to Add/Drop a Class in this
Schedule of Classes for further instructions.
Petitioning Closed Classes
You may petition closed classes by attending the first class meeting. If space permits, the instructor will issue a four-digit Add Code. You must access
MyGateway and add the class using the Add Code. You are not officially registered (even if your instructor writes your name on the class roster) until you have added the class and paid all fees through
MyGateway.
Dropping Classes
While an instructor
may drop a student who has poor attendance, it is the
student’s responsibility to officially withdraw when unable to continue the class. Students who wish to drop a class or withdraw from the College must drop the class(es) using
MyGateway. Refer to the deadlines listed in the
Schedule of Classes. See
How to Add/Drop a Class for further instructions.
The neglect of any course in which you are enrolled may result in no credit earned for the course and/or a substandard grade posted on your permanent student record.
Canceled Classes
A canceled class means that the College is unable to offer the class, and reserves the right to cancel any class at its discretion. Select alternate classes and list them on your worksheet in case any of your classes are canceled.
Concurrent Enrollment
Register for both the lecture and lab classes when both are required. Register for the lecture, lab and problem solving classes when all three are required.
Course Repetition
A student may not register in a class if a passing grade has previously been received or the maximum number of repetitions allowed have been completed. For additional information, refer to
Academic/College Policies Affecting Students in the
Schedule of Classes.

Maximum Units/Hours
A maximum unit load for any student is 16 units and 12 units qualifies as full time enrollment. A student may carry over 16 units only with
counselor approval.
Time Conflicts
The
MyGateway system will not allow you to register for two classes which are scheduled during the same time period.
Parking Hangers & Decals
Students paying for parking on
MyGateway prior to the deadline listed in the current
Schedule of Classes will have the parking hanger/decal mailed with the Schedule/Bill.
Students paying after the deadline will be required to pick up their parking hanger or decal in the
Bursar's Office or
Admissions and Records Office. The parking hangers/decals are valid in all student parking lots at Cypress College, Fullerton College and our Anaheim Campus. Public Safety will ticket for no student permit beginning the third week of the term.
Schedule/Bill
The Schedule/Bill includes a list of your classes, fees and payments. You may use
MyGateway throughout the term to check, review or print your schedule. Offices may request you to present the Schedule/Bill prior to providing you services.
