Macomb Community College will institute a priority registration process beginning with the Spring/Summer 2009 term. Under the new process, Macomb students who have earned 40 or more credit hours may begin to enroll on March 24 and those who have earned 20 or more credit hours may begin to enroll on March 25. Registration will be open for all students on March 26 through the start of the semester.
The process will:
• Assist those students nearing degree completion to secure a seat in critical courses.
• Permit students to register on the first two days based on the number of Macomb Community College credits they have earned and their current student status.
• Ease the demand on the registration system to make the system more accessible.
“With the growing number of students who utilizing the web-based registration system, we see a large number of students who try to log on and register in the first few minutes that the registration period is open for any given semester,” said Ron Hughes, director of enrollment at Macomb. “The new priority system will help to eliminate that bottleneck and provide priority status to those students who may be nearing the end of a particular program of study and need to enroll in certain courses to be able to complete their degree.”
During the 2008-09 academic year, on-online registration has grown to represent approximately 74 percent of all registrations.
Under the new system, those students who have earned 40 or more credits at Macomb and have been an active student at the college within the past two years, may begin to register at 12:01 a.m. March 24 via the Web-Reg system at www.macomb.edu or the Tel-Reg system by calling 586.445.7373. Those students who have earned 20 or more credits at Macomb and have been an active student at the college in the past two years may begin to register for classes on March 25 via Web-Reg or Tel-Reg. On March 26, registration opens to all students, via Web-Reg, Rel-Reg or by visiting the enrollment office at Macomb’s South Campus in Warren or Center Campus in Clinton Township. The credits must have been earned at Macomb and do not include transfer, advanced placement or other outside earned credits.
Prior to the beginning of the registration period, students and prospective students may search for classes at https://webadvisor.macomb.edu/datatelinfo/sections/sectionsearch.asp. Printed copies of the Spring/Summer Term schedule are available in the on-campus enrollment offices.
