How to Add a Class

To add a class to your schedule during Registration select Register from the MJC homepage (www.mjc.edu), login to PiratesNet, select current students and under the Registration heading click on Register For Classes / Build Class Schedule.  You will need to have your class synonym (section number) ready. 

In order to add a class that has already begun, you must obtain a signed add card from the instructor and then either take the add card to the Admissions office within 3 working days of the date received, or you may add a class online once the instructor approves your add card request (use the access code given in the email).  After you have added a class to your schedule, fees are immediately due and can be paid on PiratesNet, by mail or at the Business Services Office on either the East or West campus.

To add an online class that you are not currently on the waitlist for, you will need to login to PiratesNet, select Current Students and then click on Electronic Add Card Request (for Online Classes). Complete the request form and select submit.  The request will be sent to the instructor and they will reply by email letting you know if your request was approved. The email approval from the instructor is now your add card.  You may either add a class online once the instructor approves your add card request (use the access code given in the email), or you can print the email and bring it into the Admissions office.

To add a short-term class, if it is at least the day before the class starts, you may add online on PiratesNet or in person.  To add a class after it starts you will need to attend the next class meeting and obtain an add card from the Instructor. 

To add yourself to the waitlist if the class is full, you can go online to PiratesNet or come to Admissions.  If you need help you can contact the Admissions Office at 209-575-6013.

Full Time/Part Time Enrollment

Many external agencies require verification of a student's enrollment status. At MJC, full and part time designations apply.

Full-Time Student

Must be registered in 12 or more units. 18 units is considered the maximum. To enroll in more than 18 units, during the spring and fall term, or more than 12 units during the summer term, approval must be obtained from the Counseling Center, Morris Memorial 103, 209-575-6080.

Part-Time Student

Registered in fewer than 12 units.

*Note:  If you get the message "waitlist full" it means the maximum amount of students that can add to waitlist has been reached.  You will need to attend the first class meeting and request an add card even you are not on the waitlist.  Please be aware that your chances of getting an add card are better if you are on the waitlist.


Add a class online

If an instructor approves your add card request, here’s how to proceed:

1. Login to Pirates Net

2. Click on the Current Student Menu

3. Under the heading “Registration” click Add class with add card.

4. On the next screen you will need to type in the section number of the course-the four digit code that corresponds to the course you are adding.

5. Under Term, click on the down arrow and select the current term. For instance, it will begin 2010MSU or 2010MFA.

6. The last column is asking for the add code the instructor sent you.

7. You may repeat these steps for each course you have received an add code for.

8. Once you are finished, click submit at the bottom of the page.

 

Note: If you are currently on the waitlist for the course, you must first remove yourself from the waitlist before you can add yourself to the course. Otherwise you will receive an error message.
