If you are qualified, use CPReg during the PRIORITY AND POST-GRAD STUDENTS registration period. (Check this link for your alpha category Registration Rotations ). If using PRIORITY REGISTRATION for this term, you must request it during the Priority Registration time. CPReg will prompt you to verify your intent to use one of your priorities.
NOTE: Once you have selected priority registration for a term, it is NOT possible to reverse your request, so be sure that the courses you want are available and open before using a priority.
All students eligible for PRIORITY REGISTRATION have three terms available to use. (See Registration Information for details.)
ADD, DROP, WAITLISTING, AND INSTRUCTOR PERMISSION NUMBERS
You are responsible for adding and dropping classes in your schedule. If unable to take a class currently in your schedule, drop the unwanted class(es) via CPReg so that another student may enroll. Be sure to print an updated schedule after alterations are made to ensure proper enrollment. Print schedules via my.calpoly.edu .
Financial Aid (Grant & Loan) Recipients: Any change in your enrollment status (i.e. full-time to 3/4 or half-time) must be reported to the Financial Aid Office. If you withdraw from the term at any time during the quarter, you must submit an approved term withdrawal petition to the Office of Academic Records and see a Financial Aid Counselor.
ADDING AN OPEN CLASS

WAITLISTING FOR CLOSED CLASSES
You may place yourself on a WAITLIST for a closed class(es) and may be automatically enrolled into the class, if a seat becomes available and course requirements are met. You must be sure that all course prerequisites and/or requirements are met prior to enrollment requests to ensure proper Wait-listing registration. Check the Quarterly Schedule and Cal Poly Catalog available online at www.calpoly.edu/~acadprog for course requirement details.
DROPPING A CLASS
You may drop unwanted classes on CPReg through the 8th day of classes. If you are told by the instructor to drop a class, be sure to do so immediately. If you are enrolled in the wrong class or section at the end of the term, you will receive a failing grade. Correct enrollment is YOUR responsibility, so be sure to verify your schedule and drop unwanted courses before the drop deadline via CPReg . Following the end of the drop period, if you wish to withdraw from a class, you must do so by submitting a course withdrawal petition with approval signatures. Refer to the Withdrawal Information page for details .
You MAY be dropped by an instructor for one of the reasons listed below:
Failure to attend the 1st class meeting:
If you are unable to attend the first class meeting, prior arrangements should be made with the instructor. If you do not contact the instructor, you could be line-dropped. The instructor can line-drop students who fail to appear within the first thirty minutes of the first class meeting of a lecture, laboratory or activity class. If enrolled in a lab/lecture combination, be sure to attend both courses during the first session. If you attend the lecture on the first day but miss the laboratory session, or vice versa, you may be dropped from both.
DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE LINE-DROPPED FROM A CLASS. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DROP ALL UNWANTED CLASSES.
Failure to meet course requirements:
Some classes have special pre-requisites or restrictions, require department or instructor consent, or are reserved for majors only. See the Quarterly Class Schedule or the Cal Poly Catalog for course details.
Cancelled classes:
Students will be automatically removed/dropped from cancelled classes.
PERMISSION NUMBER ENTRY
A Permission number is a system generated number students submit on CPReg to add classes beginning the 1st through the 8th day of classes. After the 8th day of classes, all unused Permission numbers will be VOID. You can obtain Permission Numbers from instructors from the 1st day through the 8th day of classes if seats are available. Once the Class Number and the Permission Number is entered and submitted successfully, you are enrolled into the class.
Reminder: View and PRINT your updated schedule at my.calpoly.edu . It is strongly suggested that you keep a hard copy of your final schedule for each quarter.
