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.

Preferred Sections (Classes) in WebAdvisor

You can save your classes in WebAdvisor as soon as the online Class Schedule is published.

Use the online Class Schedule and/or WebAdvisor to find the classes you want, add them to Preferred Sections, and then you can register during your registration appointment with just a click of your mouse. Using a Preferred Sections List will make registering faster once your registration appointment arrives.

How to Create / Use Preferred Section Lists

  • You can do this by logging into WebAdvisor and selecting the “Student” button.
  • Scroll to the bottom and select the “Register for Sections” link under the Registration section.
  • Then click the “Search & Register for Sections” link.
  • Enter the term, subject and course number.
  • You will then see a list of courses that match the criteria you specified.
  • When you find a class you would like to select, check the box at the left margin and scroll to the bottom and click the “Submit” button.
  • A page with the course you just selected will appear.
  • To select this course as a “Preferred” option go to the first column on the left under Action and use the drop down menu to either “Register” or “Drop” the course from your list.
    • Please remember to click “Submit” at the bottom of the page.
    • By selecting Register, you are telling WebAdvisor that you want to add the class to your personal “Preferred Section List”.
    • If you select Drop, the system will remove the course and not add it to your “Preferred Section List”.
  • Remember, if you are reviewing courses before your Registration period, WebAdvisor will not allow you to register, instead you will see messages at the top of the screen that indicate this “You cannot place ……. on the schedule at this time.”

Each time you which to repeat this process, to add or drop courses from your Preferred Sections list, you should always return to the Student’s Menu at the top or bottom of the page.

When your Registration window has opened and you are ready to register for classes, you may select “Register or waitlist for previously selected sections”. You may register for the class by selecting Register from the drop down menu or you can place yourself on the Waitlist is the class is full.
