STEP 2

For help selecting classes or registering, we have the following two options:

Option 1: Sign up for a group new student advising session

We have group sessions for students interested in Business, Health Professions, Social Sciences/Human Services/Criminal Justice, STEM, or who are undecided/exploring. In these two-hour sessions, advisors will teach you how to use CCC’s class registration system (Self Service) and help you sign up for classes. Sessions are in-person at the Oregon City campus. Click on a link below to sign up. Only sign up for one session, even if you have several areas of interest.

• Business (Tuesdays, 2-4 p.m.)
• Health Professions/Pre-Nursing (Wednesdays, 10 a.m.-noon)
• Social Science/Human Services/Criminal Justice (Wednesdays, 2-4 p.m.)
• STEM (science, computer science, engineering, math) (Tuesdays, 10 a.m.-noon)
• Undecided/General/Exploratory (Thursdays, 2-4 p.m.) (good for students who want to transfer, are undecided on a major, are exploring options or seeking a general studies degree)

Option 2: Schedule an individual appointment with your advisor if:

• You are transferring to CCC from another college/university or
• You are interested in
  • Creative Arts, Communications, & Humanities
  • Industrial Tech/Automotive
  • Natural Resources
  • Teaching/Education
• You need a virtual meeting (phone/Zoom) or
• You cannot attend a group session

You can get assistance from any advisor, but you will have an assigned advisor based on your area of interest/educational focus area (EFA). See the "Who is my academic advisor?" section below.
