STEP 1

Go to www.chabotcollege.edu/Admissions/Apply

• If you have already completed an online application, continue to STEP 2.
• If you prefer not to complete the online application, you can complete the paper application (found in the Schedule of Classes) and submit to the Office of Admissions & Records.
• If you have attended other colleges before returning to Chabot College, have official transcripts from those schools sent to the Office of Admissions & Records at Chabot College.

STEP 2

Complete English & Math Assessments and Attend Orientation & Program Planning

Go to www.chabotcollege.edu/Counseling/Assessment

• If you have not previously done so, we encourage you to complete assessment, attend orientation or see a counselor to discuss your career or educational goals.
• Your application must be completed at least 48 hours before you can complete the assessment, orientation, and registration steps below. There is no fee to apply for admission.
• The purpose of the English and math assessments is to assist you in determining appropriate courses to take at the level equal to your current academic skills. Enrolling in courses that are too easy becomes boring and frustrating, while those that are too hard become discouraging.
• If you have taken an English and/or math course at another college, or if you you took the English and/or math Advanced Placement exam and scored a 3 or above, you may be exempt from the assessment process. Come see a counselor to determine your English and/or math placement.
• Orientation provides students with important information on academic requirements, registration procedures & campus support services to help facilitate the transition into college and is designed to address new students' questions and concerns.
• New, first-time in college students should attend the PSCN 25 orientation class which offers assessment, orientation and program planning all in one day.

STEP 3

Register for Classes Online

Go to www.chabotcollege.edu/CLASS-Web

• Your application must be submitted at least 48 hours before you register on CLASS-Web.
• Clear registration holds, if any.
• Make sure there are openings in the classes you have chosen.
• Make sure the classes you select do not overlap in times.
• Check to see if your classes have prerequisites, and make certain you have met the prerequisites.
• Refer to the CLASS-Web Registration Worksheet found in the Schedule of Classes. If you are prevented from registering on the CLASS system, it usually means that your application hasn't yet been processed.  Try again the next day.  If you still encounter problems, contact the Office of Admissions & Records at (510)723-6700.

STEP 4

Pay Registration Fees

Go to www.chabotcollege.edu/Admissions/Fees

• The College reserves the right to drop you from your classes for non-payment.
• If the registration fee is a hardship for you, please fill out the Board of Governors Fee Waiver Application form. If you are eligible, you will not have to pay for any of your registration fees at Chabot. See the Financial Aid home page at www.chabotcollege.edu/FinAid for more information.
• Once registration fees are paid and if you elect to pay the optional mailing fee, you will receive a confirmation mailer with your registration validation sticker for the term.
• If you elect not to pay the optional mailing fee, bring your registration receipt to the Office of Admissions & Records for your registration validation sticker after you receive your Student ID Card.

• Get textbooks from the Chabot College Bookstore.
• Prepare your backpack with paper or notebooks, pencils & other class supplies.
