Checking Your Registration Status

This page lists various items which may affect your registration. It provides an explanation as well as instructions on how to correct your records prior to registering through WebSTARS.

If you have holds...

You must clear your holds before you will be allowed to register and/or access certain functions of WebSTARS. You must contact the department which placed a hold on your records before a hold can be cleared. View the CCSF directory for a list of departments.

If your Student Status Prohibits Registration....

Help with Looking up Courses to Add

Let's face it. It is sometime better to search for courses by checking the good old fashioned Schedule of Courses in black and white. However, high tech is here to stay so here are some suggestions that may help you search through the "Search for Courses to Add" page.

You must enter at least one variable to search the database for courses to add.
If you are searching for a course using more that two variables (i.e. department, course number, and course title), your search will not work if one of the variables is incorrect.

Retry your search using less variables.

For example, if you entered:

Subject	English
Course	1A
Title	Composition

NOTE: This search will not work because the exact title of English 1A is University Read & Composition.

Try changing your search to:

Subject	English
Course	1A

Your search should find all English 1A courses.
