What is Priority Registration and how do I use it?
Undergraduate students are eligible to use a total of three terms of Priority Registration during their career at Cal Poly. New students are eligible to registration as New Students their first quarter. In subsequent years, they must use one of 3 priority registration allocations. Transfer students are eligible to use a priority for their second term of enrollment. As only three terms of Priority Registration are allowed, students are cautioned to plan accordingly. Exchange students register as Exceptions each quarter. Please refer to the my.calpoly.edu ‘Registration and Status Channel’ to check for available/remaining priorities. If priority terms are available, you will have access to register during the appropriate registration time-frame during the Priority Registration window (See the Current Registration Rotation Schedule for dates) and you will be prompted as to whether you would like to use a ‘priority’.
