Important Tip: Please note your last high school attended as your adult school when applying to college.

Within 24-48 hours after you have applied online, you should receive a “Admission Application Completed” email from SCCCD Admissions & Records with your Student ID#. If you have not received an email after 48 hours, check your spam/junk folder. If you are still unable to locate the email, call the Clovis College Admissions & Records Office at 559-325-5200 for assistance.

Once you receive your “Admission Application Completed”, email with your Student ID#, you can then login to My Portal.

A pop-up will appear the first time you log in to your portal to ask you to confirm/update your Communication Preferences.

You can also sign up to meet with a counselor through our Counseling Appointment page.

Students can register online using Self Service. To access Self Service, login to MyPortal. For full details and instructions on how to register, visit the Registration Resources Webpage.

Make sure you keep an eye on your college email for your assigned registration date/time!

If you are waitlisted for a class when the semester starts, you still need to attend the first day. The instructor will give you an “Authorization Code” to enroll in the class if there is room available. If you are waitlisted for an online course, you will need to email the instructor to see if there is room for you to enroll in the class.

If you would like to add a class on or after the first day of class, you will need authorization from the professor. To learn how to register using an add authorization, visit the Registration Resources Webpage for instructions.

If you would like to drop a class, make sure to speak with a counselor first. Dropping a class may affect your financial aid and/or Student Educational Plan. If you don't drop by the drop deadline, you may be required to pay for the class. To learn how to drop a class, visit the Registration Resources Webpage for instructions.
