Creating a new user name and password each time you log on creates multiple records and will make it difficult to access your academic history.

Who can enroll in extension classes?
UCSC Extension students may take one course or an entire certificate. Enrolling in a course is a simple process based on student preferences and needs; however, some courses have prerequisites that provide a foundation for a complete learning experience. Enrollment in Extension courses does not constitute admission to the University of California.
How soon will I receive an enrollment confirmation?
You will receive a confirmation of enrollment via email when enrolled.
What information is included on the confirmation?
Your confirmation email that includes your student ID will list the courses you're enrolled in, the dates, times and location, the payment total, and any class notes pertinent to the course.
Will I be put on a waitlist if the class I want is full?
Yes, you will be given the option to be added to the waitlist. If a space becomes available you will be called and enrolled if you still wish to do so.
