Visiting Student Registration

Visitor and fall admit Registration open April 1 - June 15. No exceptions will be made after this deadline. Registration will re-open for Session 2 courses July 20-25. Even if you took summer classes at UC Santa Cruz last year, all visiting students must register annually to enroll in courses.

• Submit your online registration (registration will re-open July 20-25)
• If you have ever attended UCSC, please include your ID number.  If you are a visiting student, you may not have a UCSC ID number. If you are from another UC, provide your home campus ID to transfer your transcript(s) at the end of the summer. 
• Pay the nonrefundable $50 registration fee. We only start processing your form after payment is complete.

After you Register:

• Staff will begin processing the moment your $50 payment is received. 
• When processing is complete, you will receive an email with details, confirming you are now active to enroll in summer classes. Then you can enroll in Session 2 courses.
  
• In the event that you aren't active and enrolled by Monday, July 29, go to your first class anyway so you don't miss anything.
