California Education Code Section 66025.81 requires CSU campuses to grant enrollment priority for student parents. It further clarifies that a “student parent” means a student who has a child or children under 18 years of age who will receive more than half of their support from that student.
Cal State LA operates a priority registration program offering numerous groups, including student parents, an opportunity to enroll before other students not receiving such entitlements. Student parents are granted enrollment priority along with other similar programs by being provided enrollment appointments earlier than other students in their same academic level (e.g., doctoral, master’s, senior, junior, etc.).
的 priority registration opportunity occurs twice a year during the preregistration period for fall and spring semesters. Winter and summer sessions do not use a priority registration program. 的 opportunity to claim a student parent early registration enrollment appointment is available in the 得到 Student Center well in advance of preregistration for the next semester. 的 certification 页面 is closed during the enrollment appointment development and preregistration weeks twice a year. 的 deadline for requesting a student parent early registration enrollment appointment is published on the 日期 & Deadlines 页面 each year.
Prior to the deadline for requesting a student parent early registration enrollment appointment you may use the following steps to submit a self-certification that you qualify for this benefit:
- Sign into 得到 via the MyCalStateLA portal.
