Week of May 22, 2023
Summer Session 2023 Registration is Open!
All students can now register for the Summer Session 2023! And thanks to the passage of Senate Bill 893, Cañada College will continue to waive the enrollment fees for students who reside in San Mateo County (some exceptions apply, see our Free College FAQ) for the Summer Session 2023!
As with this past semester, no minimum or maximum units are required to qualify for this enrollment fee waiver during the Summer Session 2023. If you qualify, it will be automatically applied on WebSMART when registering for your courses. Additionally, depending on documented financial need, students may be exempted from paying the student body fee, student representation fee, student union fee, inclusive access fee(s), and materials fees associated with enrolled courses.
Fall 2023 Semester Registration is Open!
Open registration for the Fall 2023 Semester has begun for all students! Please note that the qualifications for the Free College enrollment fee waiver are different for the Fall 2023 Semester. In addition to residing in San Mateo County, students must now have a stated educational goal of earning a degree, a certificate, or transfer with a degree, to qualify.
For more information and details on qualifications, please refer to our Free College FAQ. Students can edit their Educational Goal in WebSMART, and if you need assistance, please contact Cañada’s Counseling Center. Students can have questions answered about their residency or address change by contacting Cañada’s Admissions & Records Department.
