Preliminary Steps

Before registering, note the following:

  • Students must have a current password to be able to access course information.
    • New students will need to have returned their Enrollment Reservation Deposit (ERD) in order to be fully matriculated and ready to register.
    • If you have not yet set up your student account, or if you have not logged in for over six months, you should set up (or reset) your password through the SSU Online Services - Password Tool site.
  • Check your SSU Student E-mail account for important messages.
    • All official e-mail communications from SEIE and the University in general regarding your account, financial aid, or registration will go to your student sonoma.edu e-mail account.
    • You may forward your Sonoma email to your personal email account by following these instructions.
  • Go to your MySSU Student Center and make sure you have taken care of any holds or To-Do items, especially regarding financial aid.
  • A Hold will appear as a red circle/slash; clicking on it will reveal the source. Check with your program advisor if you are unclear about how to lift a Hold.
  • All students must complete sexual assault prevention training, updated annually. You should have received a notice in your campus e-mail, or you may login to the SSU Student Portal and then select the Skillport box. A registration Hold will be placed on your account until you complete this requirement.
