WAC 132I-160-065   Registration procedures.  There are two categories of registration procedures. One category applies only to daytime credit courses while the other category applies to evening and Saturday credit courses and all continuing education courses. In both cases, registration is not completed until the student completes and submits all registration material, pays in full for all tuition and fees, and has all these items accepted by the registration office.

     (1) Daytime credit courses. The college prints the schedule of dates and times to register in "The Quarterly," which is Highline Community College's quarterly schedule of course offerings. One to two weeks before the start of registration, "The Quarterly" is available on campus in Building 6 and by mail. The registration office schedules currently enrolled, former, and newly admitted students, in that order, into three sets of registration appointments according to these rules:

     (a) Currently enrolled students are assigned the first set of registration appointments on the basis of the number of credits earned at Highline Community College. Students with the highest number of earned credits are assigned the first block of appointments. Subsequent blocks of appointments are assigned on the basis of descending number of credits. Appointments are by date and students may register at any time on or after that date. Appointment dates are only found in registration appointment books located in the registration area, faculty buildings, the library, the Federal Way center, and the advising resource center. Appointment dates are listed by name. These appointment books are available two weeks before registration begins.

     (b) Former students are assigned a date to register after currently enrolled student appointments. This date is announced in "The Quarterly." Former students may register any time on or after this date.

     (c) Newly admitted students who complete the formal application process described in WAC 132I-160-030 are assigned the last set of appointments. The admissions office will notify these students by mail of their specific appointment time and date. Newly admitted students may register at their scheduled date and time, may reschedule with the admissions office for a later appointment, or may register during late registration.

     (d) Late registration occurs after the period of appointments. It is a period of open enrollment. Fewer courses are available during this period. Students register without appointments. Any student eligible for admission (WAC 132I-160-030) may register during late registration. Mail-in registration is accepted during this period. Forms for mail-in registration are in "The Quarterly." Telephone registration is accepted during specific time periods only. These time periods are listed in "The Quarterly."

     (2) Evening and Saturday credit courses and continuing education courses. Any student and any applicant eligible for admission (WAC 132I-160-030) may register for evening, Saturday, and continuing education courses at any time during the registration period without an appointment. Mail-in registration is accepted during this period. Forms for mail-in registration are in "The Quarterly." Telephone registration is accepted during specific time periods only. These time periods are listed in "The Quarterly."
