What are registration times for students?

General registration for each semester starts as follows:

  • Summer/Fall Registration (Beginning of March through the start of Fall classes.)
  • Spring Registration (October through the start of Spring classes.)

Registration for Late Start /Options Classes occurs throughout most of the semester. 

A hold has been placed on my account. How can I get this removed so I can register?

To see what type of hold is on your account log into The Rock, click on the Student tab, and on the left-hand side under "My Student Stuff," click on "View Holds." Contact the department listed on that page or contact admissions@rrcc.edu for further assistance. If applicable, send an email from your college-issued email to admissions@rrcc.edu or call 303.914.6348. 

What do "prerequisite" and "co-requisite" mean?

A "prerequisite" is a course you must complete before registering for the next level/sequence course for certain courses. For example, ENG 1021 (College Composition I) is a prerequisite for ENG 1022 (English Composition II). Pre-requisites are identified in the "Course Description" section of the college catalog or by clicking on the CRN number of the course when registering online.

A "co-requisite" is a course you must complete at the same time you are taking another course. You must sign up for both courses in the same semester if a co-requisite is listed. Examples of co-requisites are NUA 1001 and NUA 1070. Both classes must be completed in the same semester. Co-requisites are identified in the "Course Description" section of the college catalog or by clicking on the CRN number of the course when registering online.

What is the difference between “dropping” and "withdrawing" from a course? 

Drop - If you drop a class before the drop date, you are not responsible for payment, and you will not lose College Opportunity Fund (COF) credits. Additionally, a dropped course will not be visible on your permanent student record, i.e., on your college transcript.

Withdraw - You can withdraw between the drop and withdrawal dates without affecting your grade point average. However, if you withdraw from a class, you will be responsible for full payment, and you will lose COF credits.

NOTICE: To drop a class, you must do so by the drop date for that class. Classes dropped after the drop date results in a “W” grade and are considered a withdrawal. You will also be responsible for full payment of the class. Please check your detailed student schedule in The Rock for drop and withdrawal dates.
