STAR Registration
 Student
Telephone-Assisted Registration (STAR) is the method students utilize to register for
classes at Cal State LA. In order to provide optimum access to all students, STAR is
restricted to specific numbers of students within specific classifications each day. A
"Pin Notification and Registration Information" form is mailed prior to the
first day of registration for each quarter and includes the assigned dates that each
student has been approved for access to STAR. Students that don't receive a PIN
Notification form should contact the Enrollment Services Office located in Administration
146.
What is a PIN?
A PIN is a Personal Identification Number
that is randomly assigned every student at Cal State LA and is used to access STAR and
other student specific academic records. The PIN is the 'key' to the student's academic
record and should be kept separately from the Student Identification Number (SID). The PIN
is the final security check to obtain private and confidential student related information
and must be kept in a secure location by the individual student. Student's that forget or
lose their PIN must come in-person to the Office of Enrollment
Services, located in Administration 146, in order to obtain another one, PIN's are never
given over the telephone.
Current Quarter Sticker
All students officially registered in classes receive a
sticker that validates that quarter's enrollment and is to be placed in the appropriate
space on their "Golden Eagle Card". Students who do not receive their sticker in the mail,
on their first day study list, should go to the Office of Enrollment Services,
Administration 146, for assistance.

Auditing a Class
Enrollment as an auditor can be approved by the class
instructor only after students eligible to enroll on a credit basis have had an
opportunity to do so. Students who registered for other classes may add classes for
audit only by special arrangement with the class instructor. Regular add procedures
do not apply. Students must submit a program change form, approved by the
instructor for audit, at Administration 146. No entry of audited courses is made on the
student's study list, grade report, or transcript.

Withdrawal from
Courses
Students withdraw from courses during the first seven
days of instruction for any quarter through STAR. Students that drop courses during this
time period do not need to receive permission from the instructor and will have no record
of the individual course withdrawal on their permanent academic record. After the "no-record
drop" deadline, students may drop with a "W" grade from any course but
only for serious and compelling reasons. These requests are granted only with the written
approval of the instructor and department or division chair on program change forms
available at Administration 146.
Withdrawals during the final three weeks of instruction are
permitted only when the cause of withdrawal (such as accident or serious illness) is
clearly beyond the student's control and assignment of an IN (Incomplete) is not
practicable. Ordinarily, such withdrawals also involve total withdrawal from the
University, except that CR (credit) or IN (Incomplete) may be assigned
for courses in which the student has completed sufficient work to permit an evaluation.
Requests to withdraw under these circumstances are handled as described above, except that
such requests must also be endorsed by the dean of the school and appropriate
documentation verifying the reason must be attached.
Reporting an Enrollment
Discrepancy
All students receive a study list of all courses they are
officially registered in for the term following the ADD deadline for the quarter. If there
are any enrollment discrepancies apparent at this time the student is responsible for
bringing them to the attention of the Office of Enrollment Services located in
Administration 146. If the student is enrolled in a course section that he/she thought
they had dropped or don't remember registering in, they must obtain a program change
form and the signed approval of the instructor, department chair, and depending on
the week of the quarter, the school dean's signatures in order to have the course
officially dropped from their record. The student is the only individual
responsible for their enrollment record, they should not assume that because they don't
come to the first class meeting that the instructor will drop them from the course.
