Summer 2012 Registration

Online Registration

The Office of Special Programs offers the option for online registration for CCA Extension courses using WebAdvisor. (The college currently uses WebAdvisor for student academic registration.)

Who Can Use WebAdvisor?

Online registration requires either a credit card (Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express) or an electronic check (e-check) as a method for payment. (E-checks authorize a direct debit to a personal checking account.)

Easy-to-use prompts are available for all new WebAdvisor users, including the addition of a CCA Extension Payments FAQ.

Online registrations are confirmed by email.

With the advent of online registration this fall, please note the following changes:

• the per-semester registration is now waived
• an automatic $20 cancelation fee applies to each dropped class. Please familiarize yourself with our new refund policy.

If you have difficulty for any reason, please call the Office of Special Programs at 510.594.3710 and we'll gladly register you by phone.

If you wish to register for a class that has already begun, call the Office of Special Programs for approval.

Navigating WebAdvisor

• Once in WebAdvisor, if you are a new user, select the CCA Extension button (located at the right-hand side of the page)
• Select "Register and Pay for CCA Extension Classes"
• After you register and pay for a class, you will be issued a login via email

Searching for Classes in WebAdvisor

Try the following when searching for classes in WebAdvisor's "Register and Pay for CCA Extension Classes" section:

• Search for (keyword): The keyword must be part of the course title
• Enter a course code number (e.g., EXCOM-1100-01). Enter "EXCOM" by itself to see all computer courses.
• Select "Submit" to view all courses

Who Should Not Use WebAdvisor?

Anyone who is entitled to a registration discount should not register online using WebAdvisor, as the discount will not be included (see Discounts). Also, when paying for registration by check or money order, these transactions must be made either in person or by postal mail. See the following section for other ways to register.

Tuition & Fees are payable in full at registration.

Note: A $25 penalty will be charged to the student’s account for any returned check, regardless of the reason.

Discounts

Do not use online registration if you're eligible for a course tuition discount (see below). Instead, please call the Office of Special Programs to ensure you receive your entitled discount.

Donors: Donors who give a gift to the college of $500 or more this year are eligible for a 20 percent discount on Extension course tuition. For more information, please contact the Advancement Office at 510.594.3662.

Middle and high school art teachers: CCA Extension offers a 25 percent tuition discount to middle and high school art teachers. Instructors must provide a letter from their principal's office that confirms current employment status at the time of registration. Limit: two courses per semester (not to exceed four courses in one academic year).

Noncredit Record of Attendance

During the term in which a participant is registered, the enrollee may request a Noncredit Record of Attendance that verifies attendance and completion of a course; however, the document neither provides an academic evaluation nor a grade.

All Noncredit Records of Attendance must be requested in writing from the Office of Special Programs at least three weeks prior to the final session of the course. If the request is made after that time, the college may not be able to provide the record.

A $20 fee is charged for each Noncredit Record of Attendance. (Note: No permanent records or transcripts are kept for noncredit students.)
