Registration Appointments

After thoughtful review, along with student feedback, ECP has aligned registration appointments and unit milestones to ensure students can get the classes they need. As of Spring 2026, here is the registration structure:

Note: This does not apply to those in the M.A. in Social Impact Leadership (SILM) or the Online M.A. in Teaching and Teacher Credential (OMATTC).

Day	Time	Groups
Monday	9 a.m.	OAE
Monday	9:30 a.m.	All EDD All PASC CPSY 83+ units
Tuesday	9 a.m.	CPSY 73+ units
Tuesday	12 p.m.	CPSY 63+ units
Tuesday	3 p.m.	CPSY & Ed 43+ units
Wednesday	9 a.m.	CPSY 20+ units
Wednesday	12 p.m.	CP Counseling & Applied Psych 30+ units
Wednesday	3 p.m.	CPSY 1+ units All Ed, Ed Lead, CP Counseling, Applied Psych

Please note a few items: 

• ECP Student Services staff cannot change individuals’ registration appointments, they are set up in Workday and are connected to units completed.
• Your units completed do not include "in progress" but all those completed in the prior quarters.
• Open Registration (the week after registration appointments) allows for add, drop, and waitlist movement.

Finding Your Registration Appointment in Workday

When your registration appointment has been assigned in Workday, you can view it by logging in and navigating to "Student" > "Academics" > "View My Registration Appointments." View the help guide here.

Clearing Holds

In order to be eligible for registration, you must clear any holds on your account. If you have a hold on your Workday account (financial, bursar, onboarding, health center, etc.), log in to Workday, click onto the hold, and perform the actions required to clear the hold.

The SCU Technology Department has many instructional guides to aid you in your registration process. View their guide on common Workday processes, and full Training Guides for Students for assistance.

Waitlists

Waitlists are used if a class is full or if a class has concentration priority registration. If a spot in the class opens up, the first person on the waitlist will receive an automated email from Workday. They have 24 hours to add the course to their schedule. If they do not add the course in that time period, they will be bumped to the bottom of the waitlist and the opening notification will be sent to the next person on the list.

• If you receive a course opening notification, you will be prompted to either swap or drop any courses that have time conflicts or that cause you to exceed your max (10.5) units.
• Waitlist movement is allowed from the start of "Open Registration" (the week after registration appointments) until the day before classes start.
• 9 a.m. on the first day of the quarter, all waitlists will be deactivated and discarded. The system will show “0” on the waitlist. At that time, students will no longer be able to self-add into a class and must email [email protected] in order to do so.
• Faculty are unable to add students into a class.
• Students are not allowed to add a class once it has met for the first session.

Registration FAQs

1) It’s time for my registration, so why don’t I see the registration button?

2) Why can’t I get into a class even though it shows it’s not full?

3) I want to get into a Concentrations Priority class, can I change/add a concentration to be able to register for the class?

4) What if I think my registration appointment should be earlier than it is scheduled?

5) What if my registration appointment has changed since the first time I saw it listed?

6) I am busy during my registration appointment, can I have it changed?

7) I want to take more than three classes, how can I enroll in more?

8) Can I take a prerequisite class concurrently?

1) It’s time for my registration, so why don’t I see the registration button?

If you are logged into Workday during your registration appointment and do not see a registration button, check your “HOLDS” to make sure you do not have any holds. If you do have a hold, click on it, and perform the actions specified for each hold. If you do not have a hold, but still do not see the registration button, email [email protected].

2) Why can’t I get into a class even though it shows it’s not full?

Some classes are reserved during the first week of registration for specific concentration priority registration. Those classes are listed below. Please add yourself to the waitlist if seats are available. During “open registration” week, the concentration priority will be removed and you can register then.

Reserved for Community Mental Health Concentration: CPSY 243, CPS 244, CPSY 245

Reserved for Health Concentration: CPSY 380, CPSY 381, CPSY 385

Reserved for Latinx Concentration: CPSY 360, CPSY 362, CPSY 364

Reserved for LGBTQ+ Concentration: CPSY 213, CPSY 230, CPSY 332

Reserved for Child & Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) Concentration: CPSY 266, CPSY 315, CPSY 326, CPSY 327, CPSY 329

3) I want to get into a Concentrations Priority class, can I change/add a concentration to be able to register for the class?

Adding or changing a CPSY track or concentration can be done all year round, except during registration week. You can add or change your track or concentration by filling out the request form. Any requests that come in during the registration period will not be processed until the week after registration.

4) What if I think my registration appointment should be earlier than it is scheduled?

ECP has published the registration schedule (above) for full transparency of how appointments are scheduled. The units listed under the timeslots are the total units you must have completed to date, not including any current classes you are currently enrolled in. If your appointment time does not match the table where you fall, please email [email protected].

5) What if my registration appointment has changed since the first time I saw it listed?

In rare instances, registration appointments may seem to shift prior to registration week. If this happens, it is usually due to an input error or system glitch. Please double check that your registration appointment matches the published registration schedule (above). If your new appointment matches, then you are all set. If the new appointment does not match, please email [email protected].

6) I am busy during my registration appointment, can I have it changed?

No. All registration appointments are automatically set to the registration schedule (above). Faculty and staff are not able to make changes to these appointments. 

7) I want to take more than three classes, how can I enroll in more?

CPSY students are able to register themselves for up to 10.5 units each quarter. If you want to take more than 10.5 units in Fall, Winter, or Spring you may Request a Course Overload if you meet the minimum requirements listed. Please read the following carefully:

Eligibility:

• • You must have completed 18 units to overload
  • No overloading is permitted in summer
  • Students must be in good academic standing (no KPS challenges, no incomplete courses, no probation) 
  • Your class has an open seat, or you remain on the waitlist until one opens

To Proceed:

• • Enroll in all other courses (up to 10.5 units)
  • Submit this form indicating the class you want to overload with
  • Submit a form through the first day of the term
  • Overload requests are processed during “open registration” (the week after registration week)

Enrollment:

• • If ECP Student Services has determined you are eligible to overload, and the course has an open seat, ECP Student Services will enroll you in the course and notify you via email
  • If you are on the waitlist and a seat opens, forward the system message you receive to [email protected] as soon as you can, ECP Student Services will enroll you in the course and notify you via email
  • If you submit multiple forms, the most recent will be used and all previous requests will be void.

8) Can I take a prerequisite class concurrently?

The majority of prerequisites must be completed before enrolling in the course that has the requirement. In some cases, the class may be taken concurrently. Please check with your department to confirm which classes can be taken concurrently.
