Closed Classes & Add Permits

Beginning the week the class begins, instructor permission is required to add a class. To obtain instructor permission, go to the first class meeting or email the instructor if the course is an online course. If space is available, the instructor may give you an Add Permit with an Add Code. Enroll in the course via MyCoast portal following the instructions on the add permit. If you did not receive an add permit with instructions, the instructions are below.  Add codes expire very quickly (some expire the first day) and it is important that students enroll as soon as possible after receiving their add permits.

NOTE: Add codes are not valid until the first day of class. You will receive a registration error if you try using an add permit before the class has started. Please note that faculty may utilize the waitlist to distribute Add Permits but there is no guarantee that you will be given an Add Permit if you're on the waitlist.

How to Add a Class with an Add Permit/Add Code:

1. Log on to MyCoast Portal on or before the Add Code expiration date. 
2. Look for the "Registration Tools" card. (You MUST have a registration appointment to continue). 
3. Click on "Quick Add or Drop Classes". 
4. Click on "Register for Classes".
5. Select the correct term and click Continue.
6. Click the "Enter CRNs" tab and in the text box, type in the CRN. Click Add to Summary.
7. Waitlisted? On the bottom left corner, click on Panels. This will bring up the Summary box on the bottom right side. In the Summary box, look for the CRN and choose Web Registered from the drop-down menu. Click Submit. If you do not see the Web Registered option, drop the course then follow the steps above to re-add. Make sure your have an add code prior to dropping the class; you cannot be re-added without one.
8. In the Add Authorization Code pop-up, Enter the ADD CODE in the box then click Confirm. (NOTE: The Add Code only becomes effective the first day the class meets!)
9. Click Submit to complete registration.
10. Print your Class Schedule (Web Schedule Bill) to verify your enrollment, fees paid and refund and withdrawal deadline dates. 
11. Verify with your instructor that you are on the updated official class roster.

Still can't add? If after following the steps listed above, you continue to experience registration issues, submit the Request to Add with Add Code form before the add code expiration date.

Unable to access the Request to Add with Add Code form? Please email arinfo@occ.cccd.edu as soon as possible (prior to the add code expiration date) from your student (cccd.edu) email address with the following so we can assist you:

• Student ID number

• Course name and CRN (Example: PUBH A100 - CRN 12212)

• Add code/add permit (provided by instructor)

• Please include a screenshot of the error message when possible

TRYING TO RE-ADD A DROPPED CLASS? If you were dropped from a course after you were already registered and are trying to re-add with an add code, you may receive an error message. Please submit the Request to Add with Add Code form before the add code expiration date so we can add you.

Student Responsibility Regarding Add Permits/Add Codes 

• All fees for the added class are due at the time of registration.

• If you enroll in a class after it has started, you will not be dropped for non-payment.

• Students are accountable for all registration fees.

• A hold will be placed on your records if the fees are not paid in full.

• Unpaid fees are subject to collection. Accounts sent to collection will incur a $25.00 collection fee.

Enrollment in classes is conditional. Students must meet all prerequisite and/or program restrictions. Registration for course with an add permit must be completed by the expiration date on the add permit. No registration is permitted after the expiration date, there are no exceptions.  Students who do not register will NOT be allowed to attend the class and WILL NOT receive a grade.

If you stop attending a class, you must drop the class on or before the refund deadline to receive a refund. If you enroll in a class after the refund deadline, and drop the class, you will NOT receive a refund or fee cancellation. Be sure to check the refund and drop deadlines prior to adding the class by looking at that specific course's details/description in the Class Schedule. Once you're registered, you're also able to see refund and drop dates on your Class Schedule (Web Schedule Bill). Access it by going to MyCoast: Registration Tools card > My Class Schedule (Web Schedule Bill).
