Still time to sign up for fall classes at Grossmont, Cuyamaca colleges

Aug. 25 last day for new students to apply;
Sept. 1 deadline for class enrollment

EL CAJON -- There’s still time to sign up for the Aug. 21 start of fall classes at Grossmont and Cuyamaca colleges, where applying and enrolling is as easy and convenient as going online to the colleges’ Web sites.

Phone and in-person registration are also available for classes, which, at $26 per unit, represent the best bargain nationally in higher education. The last date to apply for fall admission is Aug. 25. The last date to enroll in semester-length classes is Sept. 1, but early registration is recommended since many classes fill up even before the semester begins.

New students must first file an application online or in the colleges’ admissions and records offices. Driving and campus maps, in addition to the online application and the registration service, WebConnect, are available at www.grossmont.edu and www.cuyamaca.edu.

Phone registration is also available by calling College Connection at (619) 668-4040 for either college.

The colleges have available more than 2,000 classes, including occupational courses for workforce training and career enhancement, as well as general education classes to satisfy university transfer requirements. The colleges offer career technical classes in fields ranging from nursing at Grossmont College to ornamental horticulture at Cuyamaca College.

For a full listing of classes, class schedules are posted at both college Web sites and campus entrances. The schedule is needed for either telephone or on-line registration, once a student has applied for admission.

Grossmont College is at 8800 Grossmont College Drive in El Cajon and the admissions office is in Building 100 near the main college entrance. Cuyamaca College is at 900 Rancho San Diego Parkway in Rancho San Diego. Cuyamaca’s admissions and records office is located in the Student Services One-Stop Center near the campus’ Fury Lane entrance.

Hours for both WebConnect and telephone registration are 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday, except on holidays.

For more information, call Grossmont College at (619) 644-7186, or Cuyamaca College at (619) 660-4275.
