and mathematics courses in which you are most likely to succeed.
You may be exempt from assessment or a
portion of it. A list of exemptions and the exemption form are available on

Step 3: Orientation
You should register for Counseling 105. This course gives you an overview of
programs, financial aid and support services available at DVC. You will work
with a counselor to select an educational goal, to prepare your schedule and
develop your educational plan. When you complete Counseling 105 before
courses start, you will receive priority registration your first
term. If you choose not to complete this process before classes start, you
will not receive priority registration until you complete Counseling
105 or completed 12 units and meet with a counselor.
Step 4: Selecting Courses
You should meet with a DVC counselor on a regular basis. Once you've met
with a counselor, you should have a good idea of what courses you need to
take for your degree. Certificate or to transfer to another college or
university. More information can be found about DVC courses in the catalog,
available at the Book

You should select courses that will advance
your college goals.

Once you have chosen your ideal course schedule for the term, it is a good
idea to have a backup plan in case some of the courses you want are filled.
