Attention Graduating Students: July 2019 California Bar Exam - Important information and deadlines are posted

at: http://www.calbar.ca.gov/Admissions/Examinations/California-Bar-Examination/July-2019-California-Bar-Examination

Summer registration wait list procedure: Have a plan B if your desired classes are closed; register for your

back-up schedule. Add your name to the wait list for any closed classes you are inter-

ested in. The wait list process is the only way to become eligible for

enrollment; professor approval does not bypass the wait list pro-

cess. Check your SCU email for any updates.

Wellness Tip: Take a Break! Research shows that taking breaks will actually increase your potential for suc-cess!

RUMOR MILL:

If a class is closed when I try to register, I should send an email to the pro-fessor for permission to add.

If a class is closed during the registration period, you should add your name to the wait list, register for a back-up option, and keep an eye on your SCU email for updates!

The wait list determines the priority for enrollment as seats become availa-ble. The earlier you add your name to the wait list, the higher priority you will have. Student Services manages the wait list process (and reviews it daily) until the second week of the semester. Not until then do Professors have the ability to add students, if space permits.
