Registration

PROGRAM CATEGORIES: There are two separate categories of programs with separate registration times: Arts & Science programs and Career Education programs. Career Education programs have the first opportunity to register because they have less flexibility in course selection.

Programs in the Arts & Sciences category include: Liberal Arts, General Studies, Accounting Information Systems, Accounting Paraprofessional, Business Administration, Chemical Dependency Counseling, Criminal Justice, Fire Science, Human Services, Legal Assistant and any "pre-" major codes, e.g., Pre-Nursing or Pre-Automotive.

Career Education programs include all other programs.

"New Students" include students (1) who are new to Des Moines Area Community College and are new to a program after being accepted into the College for the first time, (2) accepted into a program from a waiting or stand-by list or (3) accepted into a different program after a change of major.
