Registration Process & FAQs
Incoming first year and transfer students to Cal Maritime are block registered for their fall term courses. First year students are also enrolled in major and support courses for their spring term.

Registration for the spring term occurs in November. Registration for the summer term typically occurs at the end of January. Registration for the fall term occurs in March or April.
There will also be secondary registration periods.
Open registration periods may be found on the Planning Calendar for the term.

You may not register for courses until the start of your enrollment appointment. You may continue to register until the end of the registration period.
Holds which would prevent reregistration include advisor, unpaid financial balances, parking tickets, and library fines. You can view your holds online via the Student Center by clicking the "details" link, then the "Hold Item" link.
