Registration Dates

Knowing your registration date and registering for classes on that date is the best way to ensure you get into the classes you need to achieve your academic goals and stay on track to graduation. You can find your beginning registration date on My Gateway under the “When Can I Register?” card (search “When Can I Register?” under the Menu and Discover options). Registration dates vary depending on your status as a Gateway student: 

  • Continuing program students are given a Priority Registration date based on the number of credits they have completed and can register during the Priority Registration period. In order to register during the Priority Registration period, continuing program students must be active in an Associate of Applied Science (AAS), Liberal Arts-Associate of Arts (AA)/Associate of Science (AS), Technical Diploma (TD) or Advanced Technical Certificate (ATC) program.
  • Eligible service members (not including dependents) are automatically approved for advance Priority Registration and may register one day prior to their standard designated registration date.
  • Disability Support Services eligible students pre-approved for advance Priority Registration date may register one day prior to their standard designated registration date.
  • Accepted program students who are not currently taking postsecondary courses and have no credits completed may register during New Program Student registration.
  • Postsecondary students who are not accepted to a program (single-course takers) may register during the Open Registration period.

Please note: You will not be able to register if you have an outstanding debt of $200 or more with the college prior to registering.
