HERE ARE SOME IDEAS TO HELP<br />
YOU GET THE CLASSES YOU NEED<br />
NEW STUDENTS:<br />
Apply Early - online at: www.goldenwestcollege.edu<br />
If required, complete the online orientation.<br />
RETURNING STUDENTS:<br />
Check your MyGWC home page frequently for the following information:<br />
• On the Student tab of your home page – select: REGISTRATION STATUS<br />
• Clear HOLDS, if you owe fees pay them or take care of items<br />
• Check your Registration appointment time and log in on time.<br />
• Check web class schedule and class availability often<br />
• Other information such as grades, announcements, email message(s), etc.<br />
• If you need an assessment test, sign up sooner as opposed to later – (714) 895-8388.<br />
• If you need a counseling appointment, make an appointment today – (714) 895-8799.<br />
Helpful hints when a class is closed:<br />
• Put yourself on the WaitList if space is available.<br />
• Check your MyGWC account for up-to-date information on your WaitList status. Your WaitList placement will<br />
change if students drop or are dropped for non-payment from the course.<br />
• Check you STUDENT email account several times a day. If a seat opens up and you are notified of an opening in the<br />
course, you only have a 24-hour window form the the time the notification is sent to ass the class. If you miss the<br />
opportunity, you will be removed from the WaitList.<br />
• Remember that classes do not always remain closed. Check the web schedule often to see if the class reopens.<br />
• GO TO THE FIRST MEETING OF THE CLASS whether you are on the WaitList or if the WaitList was full. Instructors<br />
may admit additional students if seats are available due to no-shows or drops.<br />
Finances Tight<br />
• Used Textbooks cost less than new, but they sell out early, so purchase yours sooner than later at the GWC<br />
bookstore. Rent-A-Text is also a viable option.<br />
