- How do
I apply for admission to CCSF as a new student?
If you are a new student (not enrolled last semester),
follow these
steps for enrollment. If you are a continuing student,
use the normal procedures for class enrollment.
IMPORTANT: After you enroll
in the class, you may be required
to send an email informing your instructor of your enrollment.
Get your instructor's email address by clicking on your
course and also determine
if there are other requirements or important information.
Send the email using the email account you will use
for your course.

Can I still
add a class after open registration?
To add an online course during the add/drop period, you
MUST have an ADD NUMBER. To request an ADD NUMBER, send
an email to the instructor.
If the instructor has scheduled an orientation, you may
pick up the ADD form at that time (if needed) and also
request an ADD NUMBER at that meeting if
there is room in the class. With the ADD NUMBER,
you can add the course by following the instructions on
the "Changing
Your Classes" page.
If you have problems during this process, call
the Online Office at (415) 239-3885.

What’s the equivalent
total classroom lecture hours for online courses for employer reimbursement
for work related training?
Equivalent "total classroom lecture hours" is 17.5 times the weekly lecture
(contact) hours as stated in the course catalogue. This is the same whether the
course is on campus or distant learning.
Example:
The ACCT 1 course is a 4-unit course, with 5 lecture hours (Lec-5).
Students are charged for 4 units, but required contact (online lectures,
quizzes, discussions, etc) is the equivalent of 5 hours/week for 17.5 weeks.
Homework is extra. So the total classroom lecture hours for this course is 5 x 17.5 = 87.5.
