Step 3: Register for Classes

Prerequisite Requirements

Some classes may have prerequisite requirements. If the class you want has a prerequisite requirement from outside the Maricopa Community Colleges network, you can submit unofficial transcripts along with the Prerequisite Verification Request Form. Watch for your Duo push notification to log in.

Enrollment Deadlines

Rio Salado College online classes start most Mondays, giving you flexibility to begin throughout the semester.

For a Monday class start, you generally must be registered by that Monday. Students who want to take a BIO class must be registered by the Friday before the class starts. The first Fall 2026 classes began Aug. 24, and the last Monday start date for Fall 2026 is Dec. 7, 2026. Spring 2027 information will be available in October 2026.

Rio’s fall and spring terms are divided into 16-week blocks with fixed start and end dates. If you receive financial aid, your courses must fall within your assigned block, so your enrollment deadlines may be different. Check your financial aid information or contact Rio Salado College for guidance before registering for classes.
