Who do I contact to register for classes?

• Newly admitted degree-seeking students should attend an Orientation Program through the Admissions Office at (970)248-1875.
• Transfer students may register online or in person. Contact the Transfer Center at 970-248-1232 or the Advising & Career Center at 970-248-1177 for assistance if needed.
• Non-Degree seeking students may register online or in person at the Registrar's Office, Montrose Office, or Student Services at Western Colorado Community College.
• High School Students in the Fast Track or Early Scholar Program must work with their High School Counselor and the Admissions Office to enroll in classes.

How do I know which classes to take?
You should verify that the courses are appropriate to your educational background. One way to do this is to check out the course description in the MSC Catalog and look at the level of the course.

• New students will be meeting with an Advisor during Orientation to assist with this process.
• Transfer students are encouraged to speak with the advisor in their major discipline, but can use the Transfer Center or Academic Advising for the first semester at Mesa State College.
• Guest students who are only taking a course for the summer semester should verify with their home school that the course will transfer back as planned.
• Non-Degree seeking students should make sure they meet the course pre-requisites.
• High school students should meet with their high school counselor if the courses are needed to graduate. Fast-Track students can make an appointment with the Advising & Career Center.

Are there restrictions to what classes I can take?
Enrollment in a course is accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis until the course is full. Some courses may require pre-requisites, co-requisites, or instructor permission as found in the course schedule and college catalog.

How long do I have to register for classes?
