Adding a Class After the Quarter Begins

You can add courses via MyPortal during the first two weeks of the quarter. However, after the first two weeks of the quarter, you must complete the add process in person at the Admissions & Records Office.

NOTE: Your fees are due when you register. You will be dropped from all classes if payment in full is not remitted within 5 days.

To add a class after the quarter has started, complete the following steps:

Internet Instructions
  1. Get permission from the course instructor to add the course.
  2. Get an add label from the instructor. The label lists the term, course name, instructor name, course reference number (CRN) and an official authorization code.
  3. Log in to MyPortal.
  4. Click on the Student tab, select Add or Drop Classes in the Registration Tools section and follow the instructions.
  5. View your updated schedule, then go to Your Account and make your payment if paying by credit card, or send in payment to:
Foothill College

Los Altos Hills, CA 94022
