WebReg Priority Registration
Students may register 24 hours a day, beginning at 8AM on their priority registration day. We encourage all students to check their WebReg portal for their Registration Priority.
Priority registration for continuing students will be based upon the number of units completed at Monterey Peninsula College and the in-progress units for the current semester. Units completed at other institutions will not be considered. Active US military, US Veterans, Foster Youth, Homeless Youth, ARC, EOPS, CalWORKs, parents of minor children (please see below*), student athletes, ASMPC officers, and students within the following programs: First Year Experience, Teacher Pathway Program, Umoja, and TRIO have separate priority registration dates.
Groups:
Continuing students are students enrolled at MPC during Fall 2024.
Returning students are students who enrolled at MPC previously, but not Fall 2024.
New and new transfer students are students who have never enrolled at MPC.
Dual enrollment students are students who are currently in grades 6 – 12.
Open Registration: Once Open Registration begins all students may register 24 hours a day, including holidays.

Priority Registration Regulations
The California Community Colleges Board of Governors approved a regulation that required Monterey Peninsula College and all other California community colleges to implement priority registration by the fall of 2014. The regulations established system-wide enrollment priorities designed to ensure classes are available for students seeking job training, degree attainment or transfer and to reward students who make progress toward their educational goals.
New students who have completed college orientation, assessment and developed educational plans as well as continuing students in good academic standing who have not exceeded 100 units (not including basic English, English as a Second Language and Math) will have an earlier priority registration date than students who do not meet these criteria.
We encourage students on probation to seek help to improve their academic standing. While students nearing 100 units should carefully plan their remaining courses.
If you have questions about priority registration please contact the Admissions & Records Office.
Priority Registration Appeals Process:
Students may petition the Academic Council for loss of priority under the following two criteria:
1. Extenuating circumstance:
Extenuating circumstance is defined as verified cases of accidents, illnesses or other circumstances beyond the control of the student [58108(k)].
2. Significant Improvement:
If loss of priority is due to academic or progress probation/dismissal it may be reinstated through the petition process by demonstrated significant academic improvement for a subsequent term. The minimum standards for significant academic improvement for a subsequent term is defined by 55031, where a student must earn at a minimum a 2.0 grade point average for the term and complete more than 50% of the units attempted for the term.
With two noted exceptions:
Foster Youth do not lose priority.
Students with verified disabilities may petition the DSPS (ARC) coordinator to reinstate their priority, if lost, as a disability accommodation.
*Priority registration for parents of minor children is a new priority registration group, beginning spring 2024. Parents who provide more than 50% of the support for their minor children are encouraged to submit the Student Parent Priority Registration Request form to the Admissions & Records Office. For questions please visit the office or email admissions@mpc.edu.
