Notes
RegistrationRegistering for classes is important. Classes can be cancelled if not enough students are registered. To register do two things: 1. Fill out a college application if you haven't taken a class at Skyline in the last year. You can do that online or at the Admissions and Records office. It will take them a couple of days to get you in the system. Even if you have taken a class before, they need to upgrade your address information for billing purposes every year. On the form you need to tell them you are just upgrading job skills, or they will make you see a conselor before you can register. So click on "Advance in current job/career (update job skills)" in the box that asks for "Educational Goal". Don't say you want a certificate, even though you want a smog certificate. They are talking about a different kind of certificate, and there are many more steps before they will let you register for a class. Also, don't click on the "Automotive Technology" button. It's only if you want to apply to the full time program. Go here to fill out an application on-line. 2. Register for the class online after you are in the system. Go to websmart and use your social security number as your "User ID" and your birth date as the "Pin". Type in your social security number with no dashes, just the numbers. Put in your birth date with just numbers: mmddyy. For example, May 15, 1981 would be 051581. Then use that magic number, the "CRN", to register for the class. It will be a 5 digit number given with the class information. If you don't have it, you can look for it here. Faculty Contact NumbersSkyline Automotive Department: (650) 738-4410
