Steps to Registration

How to Become a new OE student

OE: New students who do not plan to earn an Associate degree, a certificate, or transfer follow the OE steps (Open Enrollment) .

STEP 1: Get a Valid e-Mail Account

All On-line Services require that you have a valid e-mail address. If you do not have an e-mail address, you can obtain a free one at one of the following web-sites: Yahoo, Hotmail, Netzero, Care2. Other free e-mail services can be found through any search engine by entering the keywords "Free E-mail". (College of the Siskiyous does not endorse or recommend any particular e-mail provider, nor does the College assume liability for damages which may be incurred by the use of the providers shown above.) DO NOT USE SOMEONE ELSE'S E-MAIL ACCOUNT TO LOG ON TO THE COS ONLINE SYSTEM.

STEP 2. Set up a NAVIGATOR Account

You will need to use your e-mail address and create a password that you can remember. Please select continue and Register for Classes in order to input your information in the system. Continue on until the screen reads : "You must see a COS Counselor"

STEP 3: Complete the Board of Governors Fee Waiver (BOGW)

Open Enrollment students do not qualify for the grants and loans through the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). Check with Admissions & Registration for the most current BOGW form.
