Extension Registration

Last updated on Apr 25, 2023


All CCA students enrolled in on-campus classes (with the exception of those who receive an approved exemption) must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the start of their first day of classes. Students who are not vaccinated and have not received an exemption or made a plan to be vaccinated by the start date of their first class will be removed from all in-person classes. 

More information is here.


Registration

Register online with TouchNet.

For any questions regarding registration or class information please email CCA Extension.

Please note, our office hours are Monday-Friday from 9am - 5pm. We are closed on Saturday and Sunday. For information regarding class meeting locations outside our office hours, please contact Public Safety at 415-703-9510.

We highly encourage registering early to ensure your spot in a class and to ensure we do not cancel an under-enrolled class. We typically need a specific minimum enrollment to be able to offer a class.

Please see detailed information about Tuition Remission Policies here

There are two registration options:

1) At the start of registration, eligible staff members may guarantee their seat in a CCA Extension course by paying for the course with a 20 percent discount.

2) Alternatively, staff members may wait until the weekday before the start of the CCA Extension course to register with a 100 percent tuition remission, but only if there are empty seats available (as determined by the Office of Youth Programs and Continuing Education). Lab fees will still need to be collected and payment can be made by contacting Extension@cca.edu

On occasion, a seat may not be available until just before the second class meeting, in which case the staff member will not know until then that they are authorized to join the course. If there are multiple 100 percent tuition-remission applicants for the same course, enrollment will be on a first- come, first-served basis

Tuition remission can now be requested in Workday by eligible employees! An updated policy can also be found on the portal. To apply for tuition remission for a regular semester or courses, please follow these directions:

  1. Log into Workday.
