How to register for classes
Santa Fe College students can register for classes through the eSantaFe. Students are eligible to register for classes on or after their registration date. Registration dates will be automatically posted in the My Status page before registration opens for the upcoming semester.
All students must view their degree audit via eSantaFe each semester and are encouraged to meet with an advisor for proper course selection prior to registration. Assigned advisor information is available on the My Status page in eSantaFe. For more information on what classes are right for you, visit Type of Classes.
Incoming students are responsible for submitting all applicable documentation, completing the online New Student Orientation and meeting with an academic advisor prior to registration. Each student's steps to registration are highlighted by My Status.
Follow the steps below to register for classes:
- Login to eSantaFe by entering your SFID and Password
- Click the "Advisement" tab, then "Degree Audit", then "Degree Audit Detail" to review your degree requirements. Note: You must view your Degree Audit Detail each semester before you will be allowed to register for classes.
- In the menu bar, click "My Classes" then "Register Classes"
- Select term to register for if not automatically indicated (ex. Fall, Fall A/B…)
- Type in the course number in the Enter a Course Number box
- Select Show All Sections at the top right of screen
- Select campus location and restrict days and times (only if necessary)
- Click Search Courses
- Click on name of class to view description, prerequisites, and fees. Important: Pay close attention to all notes associated with specific sections.
- Click the Register button for the section of the class desired. If Register buttons are not visible, either your registration is not activated or the class is full. For more information, read the error message(s) if applicable, and view the My Status screen located under the "Advisement" tab.
- Option: If your desired class is full, click the "Notify Me" to be added to the waiting list. Be sure to check your eSantaFe notifications regularly, as you will be notified when a seat opens.
View your schedule and payment options
Once registration is complete, your classes will show on the My Schedule screen. You are responsible for those classes and required to pay any fees associated with those classes on or before the due date designated on the My Schedule screen.
- In eSantaFe, click on "My Classes" and then choose "My Schedule".
- To see payment options, click on the "Finances" link in your eSantaFe account then "View and Pay Fees".
Fees must be paid by the designated deadline as identified on the "My Schedule" screen. Failure to pay fees by the fees due date may result in some or all of your classes being dropped.
If a student is eligible for deferred payment because of estimated funding such as financial aid awards, their deadline for payment will be extended. However, if the student is later determined to be ineligible for any or all funding, they will be responsible for paying any remaining balance of tuition and fees.
Schedule adjustments
Students are able to add or drop classes through eSantaFe until the deadlines posted on the college calendar. Registration cannot be officially changed by not attending classes or by notifying instructors. Students are responsible for dropping all classes by the drop deadline if they decide not to attend Santa Fe College. Failure to drop classes may result in the courses remaining on the student's record and a financial obligation to the college.
