Priority Permits for Early Registration
Think of priority permits as your reservation to begin the registration process.
Priority permits are for current credit students only. Once your assigned date and time have passed, you may register online.
If you need assistance, call the Registration & Records Office at 847-214-7393. You can also visit Building B, Room B105, during regular office hours.
For Best Results
- Settle any outstanding financial obligations with the college before registering.
- Make sure you've met your course prerequisites.
Plan Your Classes Before Your Priority Permit Date
Search classes now... select now... and register later. The selected classes will stay on your list until you complete the registration process. You can also remove them at any time.
- Planning saves you time on your registration day
- Planning does not cost you anything
- Planning a class does not guarantee a seat in the class
- Planning does not check schedule conflicts, registration or financial restrictions, or prerequisites
Once you can register (your priority permit date/time has passed or during any open registration period):
- Quickly register for your planned classes
- The registration process checks for schedule conflicts, restrictions, prerequisites, and seat availability and bills accordingly
