You will learn how to use the College Catalog, the Schedule of Classes and how to interpret your assessment results. You will receive an overview of the College's programs and services and become acquainted with the registration process at Mt. San Jacinto College. You need to decide how many courses you want to take and what days and times you want to take the courses. If you know your major you should get the program sheets for that major and begin following the outline. If you do not know your major perhaps you should take general education courses your first semester.
Most subject areas have an introductory course that can be taken to explore the field.
If you are undecided you will want to include some exploratory courses early in your college career. You should use the college catalogue to look up program guides and to find brief course descriptions of courses. Once you have decided upon a course you go to the Class Schedule to see when the course is offered. The four-digit section code is used on the enrollment form. Most courses are offered at multiple times so you have to decide what days and times you want to attend classes.
