Only returning students who have previously completed the college admission process are eligible to register for classes. If you have never attended College of the Desert, or have not attended for at least a year, you must first apply for admission to the college which you can now do by completing our online application process.
After you have completed the application process, you are eligible to register for classes, which you can now also do online. Just follow the instructions in our online registration process.
The admission and registration processes can be found in the most recent edition of our online course catalog, and in our printed schedules which are available on campus and at most local libraries, Chambers of Commerce, or City Halls. If you still have questions about any part of the application or registration process, please contact the Admissions and Records Office.
Students who register for online classes must have their own computers and Internet access at home; the college does not provide computers or Internet access on campus for these classes!
