• View the online schedule.
• You can check the academic calendar for it's release date, as well as any other dates that may matter to you for the upcoming term. 
• For classes you want to take, note the 5-digit CRN# and any prerequisite requirements or special start and end dates if it's not a 12-week class.
• If you've completed prerequisite coursework at another college, submit a prerequisite clearance request at least two weeks before your date to register.
• Note:  Some designated learning community courses may require faculty approval for enrollment and/or co-enrollment in another class.

• LOG IN to MyPortal.
• If a class you want is closed, see open courses in the schedule of classes for best chances of getting into another section for the course that you need.
• If no other time will fit into your schedule of classes, add your name to a class waitlist.
• Remember: You can also try to add a class after school begins by attending the first class session.
• Don't forget to pay your fees upon registration so that you are not dropped for nonpayment.

• Review waitlist policies before placing your name on a waitlist.
• Remember: If space becomes available, you will be automatically enrolled in the class and notified by email. If you no longer want this class, it is your responsibility to drop it.
• Update your personal information in MyPortal and check your email often.

You can request a P/NP grade through the completion of the course.

• Before the first day of the quarter, you may request the P/NP grade option in MyPortal.
• After the class begins, you must use the Conversion of Letter Grade to Pass/No Pass form and turn in to the Admissions Office.
• Some transfer institutions will not accept pass/no pass grades, and we cannot change a P/NP to a letter grade per state regulations.

For questions regarding this policy, email admissions@foothill.edu or consult with your academic counselor.

See full details of pass/no pass policy here.

• You are responsible for dropping courses that you choose to no longer attend.
• Be aware of academic calendar deadlines for drops for refunds and drops with a W.
• Drops with Ws are included in the number of times you can repeat a course.

• Effective summer 2012, regulations do not allow students to enroll in the same course more than three times.
• If you receive two W's, two substandard grades, or a combination thereof, the system will block you from enrolling again without an override. You will need to request an override from Admissions and Records to register in the course again. This will be the last time you may enroll in this class at Foothill-De Anza Community College District.
• Please see your options if you have not successfully completed the course after two attempts.
