Step 5:

Students added to the waitlist are not guaranteed enrollment into any class and must meet all registration requirements. Waitlisted students are accepted into a class as space is available and in the order they have been placed on the waitlist.  

If a seat becomes available, students on the waitlist will be notified by an automated e-mail (noreply@nocccd.edu). The student must register by the 24-hour deadline indicated in the notification, which begins when the email is sent. The student will be dropped from the waitlist if the deadline is missed.  

Click here for how to register instructions, or contact Admissions and Records (714.808.4679 or starhelp@noce.edu) for registration assistance.  

Online Classes: The waitlist process is only valid through the end of the first week of the class.  

In-person Classes: The waitlist process is only valid through the day of the first class meeting.  

Only officially registered students may attend class. A waitlisted student is not officially registered into the class until they have completed the registration process to be added to the roster through self-registration or through Admissions and Records.
