Update on Hiking Class Registration

Computer With Man with Question Mark It’s a New Year!  But the College of Marin Community Ed on-line registration process is as fraught with problems as ever.


Here’s what you need to know to sign up for the Winter term hiking classes using your computer:

  1. Start the registration process at the MyCOM Portal (https://mycom.marin.edu/cp/home/displaylogin).
  2. Enter your User Name and Password if you’ve registered on-line since the new system went into place.  (If you don’t have a User Name and Password, Dick suggests calling the phone number for “Older Adults” and asking for assistance: 415-485-9305).
  3. Figuring out the right menu choice for signing up for classes is problematic.  Dick clicked on “Add a class”, typed in the course number for Tuesday (15019), and that seemed to work.
  4. Paying the $120 class fee with a credit card via the Community Ed Website’s “E-Cashier” was not possible Monday morning. (The College registration office said that the company that handles the transactions had apparently not enabled the on-line payment feature for the Winter term as yet.  Hopefully, that will soon be corrected).  Dick ended up giving the registration office his credit card number over the phone.
  5. You can always register via mail, fax (415 460-0773), or in person if you are unable to sign up for classes on-line.  Click here for more information.
