Visiting Student Registration

The registration process is not immediate and involves multiple offices - we estimate it will take 1-2 business days to complete. Enrollment opens for all visiting summer-only students on May 2 at 9 a.m. (this is one day after it opens for continuing UCSC students on May 1). Visiting students must register annually to enroll. 

To ensure you make the add deadline:

• Session 1 add deadline is June 27  - you should register by Friday, June 21
• Session 2 add deadline is August 1 - you should register by Friday, July 26 
• 8-week classes add deadline is June 27  - you should register by Friday, June 21 
• 10-week classes add deadline is July 4  - you should register by Friday, June 28

Registration closed on July 30 at 11:59 p.m. PST

When processing is complete, you will receive an email to the address you registered with. The email includes your UCSC ID number, your CruzID, and access to set up your passwords, so you're able to log into your MyUCSC portal and add classes.

Next Step (after processing is complete):

• Set up your UC Santa Cruz specific email account. Instructors will only contact you at your UCSC email.
• Add classes. Visit navigating MyUCSC for assistance with adding classes, changing passwords, etc.
• Continue to reference our Visiting Student Guide and Checklist for answers to common questions.
