BUDGET ALERT!

If you plan to take classes in Landscape Horticulture this fall, PLEASE REGISTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, for 2 important reasons!

1. Many classes are filling quickly --- the class you want may be close to full already.  Class sizes have already been increased, so instructors are not always able to let in “extra” students.
2. The budgetary pressure to cut more classes is still on --- while being fully enrolled doesn’t guarantee the class, being under enrolled does guarantee the class will be cut!

NEW PAYMENT REQUIREMENTS

Beginning this summer and fall semesters, it is REQUIRED that students pay their tuition fees in full PRIOR to the first day of class. Fees can be paid at the Merritt College Cashier's Office or can be paid online using the Peralta PASSPORT System. Students are asked to pay fees 2 weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Those students enrolling after this period should pay their fees IMMEDIATELY to avoid a hold being placed on your account. Students on a Wait List must regularly check email during the registration period to see when they might be admitted to the class.

Your enrollment fees paid in advance for your class under the new policy can be requested for a full refund if the class is cancelled or you drop a full semester class during the first 2 weeks of the term.
As this crisis has no end in sight we will need you to do the best you can in registering early and often for the next few years!

REGISTRATION

Registration for returning students will begin April 14th. Students should have received a postcard indicating the time when their registration would begin. For new students, or those students returning to school after a break in studies, registration will begin May 3rd.

Due to statewide budget cuts, and the popularity of our courses, we are encouraging students to enroll early to ensure that they have a place in our summer and fall classes. We expect our high demand classes to fill up quickly, and those classes that do not have sufficient enrollment are subject to being eliminated before the beginning of the semester. Encourage friends, colleagues and neighbors who share your interest in horticulture to look at our schedule and enroll!
