Let’s face it — summer weather in Texas can be brutal. Why sweat it out by the pool when you can earn college credit in an air-conditioned classroom? Or you could even sign up for an online class, grab your laptop and learn something new from your favorite vacation spot.

Are you new to college? If so, plan to start the registration process early. You must complete the application, orientation, assessment and advising process before you can register for classes. (Learn more about the admissions process.)

Home for the Summer?

If you’ll be home from college for the summer, take a class at DCCCD and save big bucks! Why pay university tuition rates when you can get the same credit course at your neighborhood community college (Brookhaven, Cedar Valley, Eastfield, El Centro, Mountain View, North Lake or Richland) for just $177 a course?

If you already have earned credits from another college or university, here’s how to sign up to take a DCCCD summer course:

  1. Apply for admission.
  2. Have your college or university mail an official transcript to the DCCCD college you want to attend.
  3. Find the courses you want to take.
  4. Register. (See “How to Register” below.)

Choose the Summer Term That Fits Your Schedule — or Register for Both!

DCCCD offers two summer terms: Summer I, which begins Friday, June 5 (except at Richland College, where it begins Monday, June 8), and Summer II, which starts Tuesday, July 7.

When to Register

  • Regular registration (open to all students) began Monday, April 27. Summer I registration ends Thursday, June 4, and Summer II registration ends Monday, July 6.

How to Register

  • Register online (if you are eligible — eConnect login required) or
  • Register on campus
    Note that dates and times for on-campus registration may vary by college; visit your college’s Web site for the most current information.

If you are new to DCCCD, we strongly recommend that you register in person at the college you plan to attend so you can get information about course prerequisites, the degrees we offer, the Texas Success Initiative (TSI), tuition and other important topics.

Important Notes About Registration

  • Our offices will be closed Friday, July 3 (in observation of Independence Day), but online registration will still be available for eligible students.
  • Students with an eConnect login can plan their schedules on eConnect with Plan My Schedule, and all students can browse credit classes or search for credit classes using eConnect.
  • Summer I classes begin Friday, June 5 (except at Richland College, where they begin Monday, June 8), and Summer II classes start Tuesday, July 7. (See the 2008-2009 academic calendar for other important Summer term dates.)
  • Stop Before You Drop: Under a new Texas law, students who enroll in a Texas public institution of higher education (including DCCCD) for the first time in fall 2007 or later may not drop more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career. See our catalog for more information.
