Where can I find out about the Distance classes offered at North Seattle Community College? For more information about classes offered please go to http://www.virtualcollege.org/course/index.html.  If you find courses that you want to register for go to North Seattle’s home page  http://www.northseattle.edu/enroll/ which will give you the information you will need to register.

If you are a new student the North Seattle web site has a downloadable application form that you can fill out http://www.northseattle.edu/start/

I have tried to register online and my SID is not working.
When you are accepted at North Seattle you will receive a SID (Student ID number).  This is a nine digit number that will allow you to access your student information and to register online.  Make sure you are at the Student Kiosk http://www.northseattle.edu/kiosk/ and that you have entered your SID correctly.  Your pin number is initially your birth date and if you have changed this it is important to keep it in a safe place and do not share it with others.  There is also a possibility at the time you were trying to register there was an increased number of students accessing the site and the server may be running slower.  If you are still experiencing difficulty with online registration you can use Touchtone registration or contact Registration at (206) 527-3663 for assistance.   

You receive a message that says “You need a registration appointment” Another problem that may be encountered in registering online is that the student registration page does not recognize your SID number.  This may happen because you number is not enabled in the North Seattle system.   Contact Registration at (206) 527-3663 for assistance.
This message may also occur because your scheduled registration appointment is at a later date.  You can check on the date and time for your registration appointment by selecting that option at the Student Kiosk. 

I have found a class I want to take, how do I add a Distance Learning Class?
You can do this at the North Seattle Student Kiosk http://www.northseattle.edu/kiosk/ and select “Register for Classes”. 
You can also register in person by going to Registration located in the College Center building on the second floor. Before coming to campus please confirm your Registration Appointment by going to http://www.northseattle.edu/kiosk/.  You will not be allowed to register until after your appointed time.   

The class I want to register for is full how do I get on the waiting list?
Wait list options are found on the North Seattle web site http://www.northseattle.edu/enroll/admit/policy/waitlist.htm.  If the class is full you also have the option of going to the orientation meeting or contacting the instructor to request that they sign an overload which can be in the form of an email from the instructor.  In the case of overloads, instructor permission is required to add for all classes. It is assumed that DL students will not be registering in person.   Please send an email request to your instructor  to give permission for an overload. Your instructor will then send their permission in the form of an email to registration arrc@sccd.ctc.edu with cc: to the student.  Please be careful to include the your student's name and SID in your request so your instructor can send this to Registration.

I want to add a class after the quarter has started.
After the 4th day of the quarter and in the case of overloads, instructor permission is required to add for all classes.  Please email the instructor and request that the instructor email their signature of permission to the attention of Registration arrc@sccd.ctc.edu with a cc. to yourself.  Then contact your instructor to confirm your registration (Registration will send your instructor a confirmation of your registration).  You can also check your online schedule by going to http://www.northseattle.edu/kiosk/ or contact Registration at 206 527-3664 for  more information. 

How can I pay for my Distance Learning class?
It is possible to pay online when you register just select this option when you are registering for your class at http://www.northseattle.edu/kiosk/. You will need to use your credit card for this payment.  At the end of the transaction you will receive an authorization number and it is important to note this number for future reference. You can also confirm with the college cashier’s office (206) 527-3627.  

You can also pay by check by mailing the payment to North Seattle Community College, Attn: Cashier,  9600 College Way North, Seattle WA 98103-3514.  Please enclose a copy of your registration form indicating your fees along with your check.  This will ensure your payment.  You can also request that the Cashier’s office send you a receipt of payment. If you are able to come to campus to pay your tuition the Cashier’s office is located in the College Center on the second floor to the south of Registration. Their office hours are Mon & Tues 7:30AM to  6:30PM.  Wed through Fri 7:30AM to 4:30PM.  

Distance Learning also qualifies for financial aid.  You need to contact the North Seattle Financial Aid office for more information – (206) 527-3688 or on the web at http://www.northseattle.edu/enroll/finance/.  Financial Aid requires confirmation of your enrollment.  You can do this by contacting your instructor in person for a signature.  (This can be done at the class orientation.)   You can also contact your instructor via email.  When your instructor has confirmed your enrollment they can contact the financial aid office to confirm your enrollment.  If you are getting financial aid from another college you need to contact that office for instructions.   

It is very important to confirm your payment of tuition and fees. Tuition is due 7 business days after you first register or before the first day of the quarter, whichever comes first.  Failure to do this will cause you to be dropped from your class and you may not be able to reenroll.  For more information on tuition and fees please go to http://sccdweb.sccd.ctc.edu/distance/default.asp?page=tuitionandfees  Also go to Virtual College page http://www.virtualcollege.org/resource/tuition.html

I am a state employee how do I register?  
The policy at North is to allow state employees to register during the second week of the quarter and get a reduced tuition for no more than 6 credits.   There is always a possibility that the course will be filled so you need to check on the enrollment status.

You need to contact the instructor by email explain your situation and request his permission to register.  If the course offers an orientation session you could get the instructors permission at this time and then you will need to wait until the 6th day to register or you will forfeit your tuition wavier. If you can come to campus with your signed employee wavier to register that may be helpful otherwise you need to send the form electronically along with the instructors permission to register to registration ARRC@sccd.ctc.edu.  For more information please go to http://www.northseattle.edu/enroll/admit/policy/setuit.htm
