IMPORTANT: All enrollment prior to the first day of the semester MUST be made by telephone or through the web. In-person enrollment will ONLY be available on and after the first day of the semester AND you will be required to have the instructor’s signature on an Instructor’s Authorization for Class Add Card—or an Instructor Approval Code (in lieu of an instructor’s signature), which will allow you to enroll from any computer or telephone—for each class in which you wish to enroll, even if the class has space available.
You may enroll by telephone or web on or after the enrollment date and time assigned to you in your Enrollment Information Letter. (You may also view your enrollment date and time by logging into the Student Self-Service System at www.smc.edu/admissions.html).
For your convenience, you may enroll by using computer terminals and telephones at designated times in the Admissions Office lobby and the library, or by using computer terminals in the Cayton Center (these terminals require a valid A.S. ID card and password). You may also enroll through SMC’s website (www.smc.edu) using a home computer.
You are strongly urged to enroll at the time and date assigned to you. The later you enroll, the more likely you are to find the classes you wish to take already filled and closed for enrollment.
Note: SMC no longer has waiting lists. If a course is closed, please keep trying, as it will re-open if space becomes available.
Continuing students were mailed Fall enrollment materials beginning Monday, April 19, 2004.

Santa Monica College is currently undertaking a large rebuilding and modernization program. At the completion of this process, we hope to have found solutions to most of our access problems. To the best of our knowledge, no programs are inaccessible, and we do not schedule single offerings in inaccessible locations. However, some locations are not accessible to students with specific, disability-related access needs. We will relocate classes to accommodate individual students. To initiate this process, please call the Center for Students with Disabilities at (310) 434-4265 voice, (310) 434-4273 TDD, or (310) 434-4272 FAX.
