Registration

After you have completed the application, orientation, assessment and advisement process, you can register in one of two ways:

1. In person

Visit the Admissions/Registrar’s Office at the college you plan to attend.

If you are new to DCCCD, we strongly recommend that you register in person at the college you plan to attend so you can get information about course prerequisites, the degrees we offer, the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), tuition and other important topics.

2. Online

For online registration requirements, visit eConnect.

Before you register, check our class schedules to see the credit courses offered for the upcoming term.

Stop Before You Drop

Under a new Texas law (TEC Section 51.907), if you drop too many classes without having an acceptable reason, your GPA could be affected. Be sure you understand how this law may affect you before you drop a class.

The new law applies to students who enroll in a Texas public institution of higher education (including DCCCD) for the first time in fall 2007 or later. Under this law, you may not drop more than six classes without an acceptable reason during your entire undergraduate career without penalty. For more information, please see our catalog or read Facts About Dropping Classes.
