Winter Quarter Shopping Cart Open
Although you will not be able to enroll in courses until your Enrollment Appointment and your advisor releases your advising hold, you can add classes to your Shopping Cart in ctcLink starting on October 20.
If those classes are still open at your Enrollment Appointment time, you can easily enroll in them directly from your shopping cart, like checking out at Amazon. In addition to adding your classes in the Shopping Cart, verify you meet the prerequisites by clicking the “Validate” button in the Shopping Cart. It’s a good idea to do this before registration begins.
