Check Your Registration Date

To start, you are going to need to check your ctcLink Student Homepage to make sure your registration date is assigned correctly. Review our instructions on how to find your registration date if you haven't done so before. If you don't see a registration date on your ctcLink Homepage, contact the folks in the Registration office at the campus you are trying to register through:

ctcLink not showing correct Registration Dates?

What to do about balance due

Take Care of Your Advisement Holds

If you see holds, get them cleared! I can help with some things, but I cannot clear holds for you. Not sure who to go to? Contact an academic advisor from your campus - click here on how to do that.

Advisement Holds are placed on to student accounts for students who have completed less than 45 credits. The hold will stop you from registering until you meet with an academic advisor and get advised on your classes for next term (it's placed to ensure students enroll in classes that contribute to their degree plans & get the advising they need). The academic advisor is able to remove the Advisement Hold that stops you from registering.

More about advisement holds

ctcLink places a less than 45 credit hold on any student at SFCC who has less than 45 credits. A hold can only be run on one campus, and cannot grab data from the other (SCC). You can contact Admissions to have credits transferred over from SCC to SFCC, and it might help...but it also might not. The point is that it is inconvenient (for all of us), but we can help each other take care of it -- you by spotting it and letting me know, and me by facilitating it's removal. You only need to remove this hold if you are planning to take a class through SFCC.

Take Care of Your Academic Holds

If you see "Academic Warning" or "Academic Probation" in your list of holds, look to see which campus they are on there for. Do you want to take classes via that campus? If yes, then you need to work on getting those holds off - click here for more information.
