Important: Policy for Repeating Courses has Changed

The California Community College Board of Governors passed revisions to Title 5 regarding course repetition effective Summer 2012.

Students will only be allowed to enroll in a course not designated as "repeatable" (ENGL-101A, for instance) three times if they received a substandard grade (D, F, NP, or NC) or withdrew from the class with a W.

These new regulations were applied retroactively so enrollments prior to Summer 2012 will be counted towards the three times, and any student who has already taken a course the maximum number of times will no longer be able to take the same course at Ohlone College. Please refer to Repeating Courses for more information.

Students can only add full-term classes by submitting an Add/Drop Form (PDF) with the instructor's signature to Admissions and Records on the Fremont campus or the Student Services Center on the Newark campus. Return to text.

  • Last date to drop with a refund: 8% of class meeting times
  • Last date to add: 20% of class meeting times
  • Last date to drop a class without a W (Census Date): 20% of class meeting times
  • Last date to apply for pass/no pass: 30% of class meeting times

Applications received after the deadline will be processed for the next term. Return to text.

Schedule for Registration

Continuing students are assigned the earliest registration times and appointments based on having a declared academic program (major) and by the number of Ohlone units earned toward that program.

New and former students receive the next opportunity to register but do not receive specific appointments.

10th-12th grade students register starting approximately two weeks prior to the beginning of the term.

Kindergarten-9th grade students receive the last opportunity to register, starting on the first day of the term.
