Pre-Registration begins in November for the following Spring semester and in April for the following Fall semester. Check the Academic Calendar for specific Pre-Registration dates.

  • First-semester juniors must complete a Major Declaration Form that is signed by the adviser of record for the field of major and submit it to the Office of the Registrar no later than midterm of the first semester of the junior year.

E-mail permission from an instructor to register in a full course will be accepted only from the instructor’s Claremont Colleges email account.

Cross Registration

Academic interchange among the undergraduate Colleges and Claremont Graduate University provides opportunities for curricular enrichment and active membership in the wider community of The Claremont Colleges.

Students may register on their own campus for courses open to them in the other Claremont Colleges, subject to the following conditions:

  1. First-semester freshmen normally register for their entire program at their college of residence. Exceptions may be made in fields of study not available at their own college. During the second semester, freshmen may register for one course outside their college of residence.
  2. Sophomores normally may register for no more than one course per semester outside the college of residence.
  3. Juniors or seniors normally may register for no more than one-half of their total program in any one semester outside the college of residence.
  4. Registration for courses in joint programs are not considered outside registrations. Intercollegiate courses designated by the letters "AA", "CH", "BK" or "CG" affixed to the course number are counted as Pitzer courses.
  5. Exceptions to the above must be approved by the faculty adviser.

Courses taught in the following joint programs do not count as off-campus courses, even if they are taught on other campuses: American Studies; Anthropology; Art History; Asian Studies; Black Studies; Chicano Studies; Classics; Media Studies; Gender and Feminist Studies/Women's Studies; Languages; Linguistics; Mathematics; Music; Philosophy; Science, Technology and Society; and Theatre.
