Term Check-In (TCI) is the formal reporting process in which students confirm their attendance on-campus or in a CC-led program for the upcoming term. Students at CC participate in term check-in 2x a year - once over Block 1 for the Fall and once over Block 5 for the Spring. Following the close of TCI, the semester census report is captured (Fall Snapshot). Those who are studying in courses abroad that are NOT led by CC faculty or on an approved leave of absence for the term are not required to complete this round of check-in.

Students who are noticing limited functionality in registration or a reduced SSB/Banner Student Menu (on or after 8/19)... Youneed to check-in for the term and officially report to the College that you are taking classes! You can do so by following the steps below. Once completed, know that the red flag DOES NOT DISAPPEAR until the TCI/Term Check-In open period is closed at the end of Block 1.

 How to Complete Fall Term Check-In

• Login to Banner SSB (your Student Menu will default to a restricted list).
• Click on “Term Check-In” (marked with a red flag)
• In TCI, students will have the opportunity to review their obligations, update their current information including preferred name, addresses, FERPA authorization, and more!
• Once completed, close the Check-In browser tab and refresh your screen. That’s it!

If functionality in registration was restored and your Student Menu displays a full list, you have completed the requirement. Failure to complete TCI during the open period or respond to reminders will result in dropped registrations. Don’t risk this – especially true for students meeting eligibility conditions (i.e., athletics, financial aid, and immigration status). Complete the process early – approximately 5 minutes in duration.

The Graduation Applications for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 are open (as of Oct 14)

HOW TO APPLY

Apply to Graduate is the graduation application available from the Student Banner menu. Students who have reached a *23 unit threshold are eligible to open the application. 

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN “APPLY”? 

• Graduation Curriculum |Level, Major, Minor (apply anyway, even if this info is in flux)
• Graduation Date |Winter and Spring 
• Graduation Ceremony Attendance |Y/N and height for gown
• Graduation Program and Diploma |Diploma Name and Hometown
• Diploma Mailing Address |Edit and Review (cannot be sent to a campus address)
• Graduation Application Summary |Review and Submit

*once an application has been submitted, students must contact the Registrar’s office to cancel or make a correction* 

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO APPLY? 

Applications are required for all graduating students. It is also the student's responsibility to complete their degree requirement obligations (32-units w/met residency + gen-Eds + major(s) = ready for degree conferral review). By completing a graduation application, students are confirming their intentions to graduate; opting in/out of ceremony participation and announcements; and initiating a review of their record by the registrar's office to be certified for a degree. Responses to applications are shared with the following stakeholders: registrar, advisors, department chairs, college events.

Registration at CC begins with a preregistration process (outlined here). Once students are preregistered for their upcoming semester(s) and receive their results, the live registration application called Add/Drop is available for use and can be accessed from Banner SSB or by clicking "Register Here" in Stellic. This application is open to students 24/7 and is the official registration portal after the initial Preregistration period (Canvas is NOT a registration portal). In Add/Drop, students can change their registrations at their convenience, get instant access to canvas materials, and have drop notifications sent on their behalf during the active (current) block and appropriate to the registration deadline. Add/Drop enables students to register for a new course including Half Block, swap out courses, and make grade-track changes during allotted timeframes.

All registration changes must be completed by the appropriate deadline per block.
