FAQ's

Q. How do I find out what courses are available at CCRI?

A. Information regarding which courses are currently open for registration is available at http://www.ccri.edu/availablecourses.html

Q. What if a course section is full (closed)?

A. If you are unable to register for the course you want, and there is a waitlist available for the course, you can add yourself to the waitlist. When a seat becomes available, you will receive an email notification through MyCCRI that a seat has opened and you are eligible to register for the course. You will NOT be automatically added to the course. You will have until the date and time stated in your email notice to login and register yourself for the available seat. If you do not register before the specified date and time, the available seat will go to the next person on the waitlist and you will have to re-add yourself to the waitlist to get another chance. Waitlists will be purged at the start of late registration (students will be dropped from the courses they are waitlisted for that semester).

Q. What if a course gets cancelled?

A. When a course section is cancelled due to lack of enrollment, you may sign up for any other open section of the same course, provided one is available. When a course is cancelled, you will receive notification via campus e-mail prior to the first class meeting. Refer to the college calendar for cancellation dates.

Students are welcome to indicate that they would like their preferred name to appear on their diploma, as indicated on the graduation application. The preferred name will not appear on official transcripts. Official documentation is not required for a change in preferred name.

To request a preferred name, please email [email protected] from your CCRI email account. To request a username/email, please email [email protected] from your CCRI email.  Please include your CCRI student ID with all messages. 

**CCRI ID card and email changes should be requested prior to a semester start. Updating the documents mid-term may affect a student’s access to required course material, i.e., Blackboard.
