CLASS SCHEDULES/Important dates: Besides regularly checking your Peralta-issued student email (you can easily set up forwarding so they’ll go to your preferred email!) for news and reminders, it’s also a good idea to regularly log-in to your Passport Student Center to check for notifications specific to your class schedule (such as the date enrollment opens for you, early drop dates for short-term classes, or even changes to your schedule). And remember that the online searchable class schedule is your source for the most up-to-date info (sometimes classes are even added to the schedule!).
