My Sac State - Online Registration
My Sac State - Your Information Gateway
My Sac State is the electronic registration system at Sacramento State. You can access your own personal self-service Student Center by logging onto My Sac State . On My Sac State there are many features including registration, wait listing, fee payment, financial aid status, and holds.
Step One: Log into the Student Center to find your registration appointment. Before your registration appointment, you need to clear any holds or outstanding fees due from a current or prior semester. Continuing students register first so make sure you are good to go before you register. Registration fees will not be due until after you enroll in classes.
Step Two: The next phase of registration is for new transfer or freshmen to register for classes at orientation. During this time, continuing students may resume adding, dropping or swapping classes. You may also be added to a class you have wait listed. During this time, fee payment will most likely be due for continuing students who registered earlier so be sure and pay your fees.
Step Three: The final phase of registration is called Late Registration and Change of Schedule. It begins three weeks before the semester begins and continues through the second week of the semester.
Complete information concerning My Sac State can be found on pages 5-8 of the Registration and Advising Handbook.

Wait List
You may add yourself to a waitlist for a class if the class is full. The wait list does not guarantee a seat in the class. You may enroll in up to 9 units on the wait list. You must be eligible to enroll in the class to be on the wait list. The wait list will not override a time conflict with another class. You may check your wait list placement anytime. The My Sac State Messaging System will notify you when you have been enrolled in a wait listed class. The wait list will not be available once classes begin. Each faculty member will make the determination as to who will be allowed to add a class when the semester begins.

Enrollment Verification - Status
The Office of the University Registrar verifies enrollment for many purposes: eligibility for financial aid, scholarships, insurance companies, banks, loan guarantee agencies, employment, veteran's benefits, and reporting purposes. Certification of enrollment status is defined for full-time, half-time and less than half-time.
Undergraduate/Post-Baccalaureate (2nd Baccalaureate) students:
- Full-Time = 12 or more units
- Half-time = 6 – 11.9 units
- Less than half-time = less than 6 units.
Graduate students:
- Full-Time = 8 or more units
- Half-time = 4 - 7.9 units
- Less than half-time = less than 4.0 units.
Enrollment and Degree Verifications are processed through the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC). NSC verifications are provided 24/7/365. The exception is if the dates of attendance are prior to 1993, then the verification may take two - three business days to process. Provide as much information as possible to the NSC including all names used, dates of attendance if known, social security number and date of birth.
The NSC does charge a fee.
Please see their web-site for applicable fees.
Click Here to go to the Student Clearing House and follow the instructions.
If this is your first time using the NSC, you will need to setup an account with them.
Students can also obtain verification of your enrollment from the Office of the University Registrar:
- in-person with proper photo identification at the Student Service Counter, first floor, Lassen Hall
- by mailing the request with your authorization and signature, and a stamped, self-addressed envelope to:
Office of the University Registrar
Sacramento State,
6000 J Street, Sacramento, CA 95819-6056.
Dropping a Course
Drop courses through the second week of the semester through the Student Center. You don't need signatures, but you must drop online. There is no such thing as an automatic drop. Instructors have the authority to drop students, but they are not required to do so. Even if your instructor asks you to leave the class, the drop must be entered on My Sac State 2.0. Failure to drop a course according to University policy is likely to result in the assignment of a failing grade of "WU" or "F"in that course. If you are uncertain which classes you are enrolled in, log onto My Sac State 2.0 and check your Student Center or check with the Student Services Counter.

Withdrawing From All Classes
If you are not able to complete the semester because of unforeseen circumstances, it is very important that you complete the forms for official withdrawal from the University. If you stop attending classes without withdrawing, you will be assigned "F" or "WU" grades in your courses.
