Priority Registration Information

Registration priority specified above shall be lost at the first registration opportunity after a student:

  • is placed on academic or progress probation or any combination thereof for two consecutive fall or spring semesters; or
  • has earned 90 or more degree‐applicable semester units at Solano Community College.

The 90‐unit limit does not include units for non‐degree applicable English as a Second Language or basic skills course. Students enrolled in high unit majors may appeal for exemption from the 90‐unit limitation.

Appeal of Loss of Enrollment Priority
Students may appeal the loss of enrollment priority when the loss is due to extenuating circumstances. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accident, illness or other circumstances beyond the control of the student, significant academic improvement, or when a student with a disability applied for, but did not receive a reasonable accommodation in a timely manner. Appeal procedures and the required form are available from the Office of Admissions and Records and on the Admissions and Records website.

Support Services
Students are encouraged to take advantage of support services available to assist them in maintaining or re-establishing their eligibility for priority enrollment. Making an appointment to meet with a Counselor is the first step toward accessing the broad array of support services available at no charge to SCC students. Counseling and support staff are available to help students every step of the way toward reaching their educational goals.
