Each semester, students are given a priority registration date and time. You can find your priority registration date and time in eServices. This date and time is the earliest time you can enroll in classes. Students can enroll at any time during open enrollment.
Your individual registration date and time is based on a number of things, including your class level and how many units you've completed. You will lose priority registration if you are on academic or progress notice and/or have completed 90 or more degree-applicable units within Los Rios.
