How
to Register for CSM courses
To
enroll in a class at College of San Mateo, follow these steps:
1. Apply for admission.
Apply on-line at https://websmart.smccd.edu.
Everyone is admitted and admission is free. (If the link doesn't
work for some reason, go to the main college page at
http://collegeofsanmateo.edu and click on "WebSMART"
on the left side of the page.)
After you apply you will receive an e-mail with instructions on
how to register for classes. The e-mail will include a logon ID
and password, and it should arrive in less than one hour.
When you apply for admission you will be asked to state your major
and your educational goal. Your answers will determine if you
need to complete the matriculation process. The matriculation
process includes
1. Taking placement tests
2. Completing college orientation (on-line or on campus)
3. Meeting with a counselor or academic advisor
If you plan to earn a certificate or degree from CSM, or if you
plan to transfer, you must complete the three matriculation steps.
Follow the directions below labeled
“Apply with Matriculation.”
You can avoid the three matriculation steps by following the directions
labeled “Apply and Avoid Matriculation." If you are
interested only in taking language courses for personal enrichment,
this may be your best choice.
Apply
with Matriculation
If you plan to earn a certificate or degree, or if you want to
transfer, enter your major and educational goals. You will be
required to take placement tests, complete orientation, and see
a counselor or academic advisor before registering.
Major or Program of Study: Select the best match from humanities/liberal
arts programs.
Educational Goal: Select the best match. You can make changes
later if you want.
Apply and Avoid Matriculation
When you apply, enter the major and educational goal listed. You
will NOT be required to take placement tests, complete orientation
or see a counselor or academic advisor.
Major or Program of Study: Self Enrichment
Educational Goal: Personal enrichment
2. Register for classes
Registration is done only on-line at websmart.smccd.edu.
You will pay your fees when you register, using a credit card.
The class schedule is available online at collegeofsanmateo.edu.
Late Registration Process
In general, you can attend the first or second class meeting and
receive an authorization code to add the class from the instructor.
You can then apply for admission and use the authorization code
to register for the class. However, beginning classes are often
crowded, and it is best to register before the semester begins
to be sure of a place in the class.
