Visiting Student Registration

Registration Open April 1

The registration process is not immediate and involves multiple offices - we estimate it will take 1-2 business days to complete. Visiting students must register annually to enroll. 

To ensure you make the add deadline:

• Session 1 add deadline is June 26  - you should register by Friday, June 20
• Session 2 add deadline is July 31 - you should register by Friday, July 25 
• 8-week classes add deadline is June 26  - you should register by Friday, June 20 
• 10-week classes add deadline is July 3  - you should register by Friday, June 27

There is a $50 non-refundable registration fee required to begin processing. Registration closes on July 29 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.
