Fall Hike Registration Now Available

Hiking Boot Good news, bad news, about registering for the Fall Meandering hikes.

Good news:  Registration opened on Monday, August 2nd.

Bad news:  The College of Marin has set up a new, and not very user-friendly Website for on-line registration.

Class Dates

 

Fall 1 (CRN # 85165) hikes run from on seven Tuesdays from September 7th through October 19th.  (The list of specific hike locations is not yet available). 

Fall 2 (CRN # 85167) hikes run from on seven Tuesdays from October 26th through December 7th.  (The list of specific hike locations is not yet available).

(Wendy is also leading hikes on Mondays, but not Thursdays, this Fall).

Registration Options

You can in person, by mail, fax (415 460-0773), or on-line.

On-Line Registration

To register on-line you will need a Username and Password.  Even if you’ve registered on-line in the past, you may not have or know these two pieces of information.  If this is the case, phone the College of Marin Registration Office (415 457-8811, Ext. 8822) and ask for your Username and a temporary password (which will probably be your date of birth).

Then follow these steps to sign up for classes:
  1. Type www.marincommunityed.org into your Web browser.
  2. Click on “Apply and Register” in the left-hand column.
  3. If you’ve signed up for classes (including Meandering in Marin) before, then click on the blue highlighted link to MyCOM Portal under the heading “Continuing Community Education Students."
  4. Enter your User Name and temporary Password.  (You’ll be immediately prompted to set up a new, permanent password).
  5. Click on the “Student” tab at the top left-hand side of the Welcome to MyCOM Portal page.
  6. Under “Registration Tools” either “Search” for classes if you don’t know the class number (“CRN”); if you know the “CRN”, click on “Register, Add or Drop Classes”, and enter the CRN.
  7. Under “Registration Term” select “Fall 2010 (CES)” and click the “Submit” Button.
  8. Under the “Add Classes Worksheet” type in the CRN # for each class that you wish to sign up for.
  9. Click “Checkout” at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions for entering billing information to pay for the class.
If you enter the wrong class number by mistake, you will have to phone the Registration Office (415 457-8811, Ext. 8822) and ask the staff to remove the class.  (Community Ed students can’t use the “Drop Class” feature of the Website to remove classes).
