Note: You can also register in person; however, you can save time and avoid the lines by registering online.

How do I log in?

If this is the first time you have logged in, you must use your Student ID and assigned PIN.

Your PIN is preset to one of the following:

• Your birthdate in YYMMDD format (if you supplied that data at admission)
• The last six-digits of your SSN

Campus specific instructions:

If you have not provided Century College with your SSN or date of birth, you will need to contact the Records Office to have a random PIN established.

(The library card PALS ID number IS NOT USED at Century College to look up your student ID number)

At the completion of your login session, you must 'logout' to ensure privacy.

How do I add/drop and withdraw from courses?

Adding and dropping courses:

Keep these key points in mind:

• You can add or drop a course during the first five days of the spring/fall semester, but you may only add courses through the first three days of the term only if there are seats available.
• After the third day of the semester, you must have the instructor’s signature to add a regular-start course.  You may add late-starting courses before the class begins without instructor approval. 
• Refunds are only available during the five-day drop/add period for spring and fall semesters, except as specified in the Refund Policy.
• Late adds will be processed only with the approval of the instructor and the vice president of Academic Affairs. 
• For summer term, refer to the summer term Refund Schedule.

Withdrawing from courses:

Keep theses key points in mind:

• Course withdrawals (“W” grades) begin on the sixth day of the spring/fall semester, unless noted otherwise in the course schedule.
• You may qualify for a refund only if you withdraw from all classes. (see Refund Policy for details)
• You should withdraw after you stop attending a course or you will likely receive a grade of "F".
• If you withdraw after 20 days, you can visit until final exam week with the instructor's approval. Withdrawals do not influence GPA, but negatively impact academic progress. (See Chapter 4, Standards of Academic Progress in the college catalog).
• There are three ways you can add, drop, and withdraw with your student ID and PIN:
  • Login to the e-Services website
  • In-person at the Records Office
  • Written request with your signature by U.S. mail (No email or fax requests!)

Telephone messages or email requests for Records Office Staff are not considered valid processing methods.

Reminder: There is no refund for partial withdrawal. You must withdraw from all classes to receive a pro-rated refund based on the withdraw schedule. You are required to pay tuition and fees unless you drop classes by the deadline. Century College will not drop courses for non-attendance.

For additional assistance, please contact the Records Department at 651-779-3299.

How do I find out why I cannot register?

You could be "blocked" from registering for classes because:

• The class you want is full.    Check online for other available sections.
• You owe money. Look up your account balance online or contact the Business Office at 651-779-3278.
• You are on academic suspension.  See a counselor or call 651-779-3285 to make an appointment.
• You have a hold on your records.  Check online by clicking on “Check Registration Holds”.
• The registration system does not verify if you have the prerequisites needed for the course.  Check the course prerequisites to determine your status or contact the Records Office at 651-779-3299.

About prerequisites:

• Prerequisites are courses or test placements that are required to register for a course. (See the online course description, class schedule and college catalog).
• If you think the registration system is in error, provide any documentation that proves you have met the course prerequisites listed in the college catalog (unofficial transcripts are acceptable for prerequisites).
• Follow the transcript evaluation process to avoid this problem in the future.

How do I check my records?

Login to the e-Services registration website with your student ID and PIN. Select Grades and Transcripts from the blue menu to the left of the screen.

How do I get a transcript?

For unofficial transcripts, login to the e-Services registration website with your student ID and PIN. Select Grades and Transcripts from the blue menu on the left of the screen.

How do I register for more than 18 credits?

If you want to register for more than 18 credits, you will need to complete a Student Services Petition for approval by the Vice President of Student Services, Room 2414, West Campus.

How do I audit courses?
