DPRC’s Priority Registration Procedures

Priority Registration for classes is provided for students registered with the DPRC as having a chronic or permanent disability. Students eligible for this service are encouraged to register early each term in order to create a class schedule that meets their disability-related needs.
Students with disabilities need to give careful consideration to the specific impact of their disabilities when registering for classes. Factors like the physical location of the class, the time of day it is offered, and the amount of reading that is required can all significantly affect registration decisions for a student with a disability.
To maximize each student’s disability management when planning his or her course load, the University provides priority registration to students with disabilities through the DPRC. Students with disabilities must register with the DPRC to be eligible for this service.

Spring 2013 Registration Information

  • Early Priority Registration for Spring 2013: Monday, December 3, 2012
  • Final Priority Registration for Spring 2013: Monday, January 7, 2013

Please note:  If you choose not to take advantage of Early Priority Registration, the DPRC cannot guarantee coordination of your accommodations and services (e.g. accessible media, real-time captioning/interpreting, etc...) in time for the first day of Spring 2013 instruction.
The Spring 2013 class schedule is available online as of November 14, 2012. This only gives you 19 days to decide on classes by December 3rd. You are encouraged to see an academic advisor as soon as possible if needed. The Advising Center (Admin. Bldg. room 211) is also offering FRESHMAN group advising sessions between Tues., November 13th and Tues., December 3rd. Call the Advising Center to reserve a seat in one of the sessions at 415-338-2103.
You can check your registration information by logging into the SF State Gateway at http://gateway.sfsu.edu. To see both your Early and Final Priority Registration date and time and the fee payment deadline for Spring 2013, navigate to the "Registration Time" by:

    1. Selecting "Schedule/Classes"
    2. Then select "Registration Time"

All registration holds must be cleared prior to registration.
DPRC students are allowed to register classes for up to 16 units.
Please contact us immediately if the SF State Gateway does not list your DPRC Early Priority Registration date or the approved 16 units.
Students are not eligible to enroll until tuition fees are paid*.  If tuition fees are not paid by November 29, 2012, or you do not have a financial aid fee deferment on file, you will not be eligible to enroll when registration begins on December 3rd.

Third Party Payment:

If your tuition fees are being paid directly to the University by a third party (e.g. Department of Rehabilitation) and you are concerned that the payment will not be made in a timely manner, please contact the DPRC office immediately for assistance.
DPRC will offer drop in Early Priority Registration assistance on Monday, December 3, 2012 from 9:00am to 12:00pm and from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
