Overview
Registration is one of the few services used repeatedly by Santa Fe College students throughout their educational experience. As a primary non-classroom contact between the institution and its students, it is a key element in the overall educational process. Successful registration requires cooperation and advanced planning on the part of faculty, administration, academic advisors, and students.
Registration Dates
Registration appointment dates are assigned throughout the Preferred Registration Week. Appointments are based on the number of credit hours you have earned toward your program of study at the time of registration. You will be able to register on or after your assigned registration date, which is given approximately two weeks prior to the start of registration. View your registration date on eSantaFe under Check My Status.
