Abstract
Community colleges are known for their multiple missions. One of those missions is providing open access and open admissions to students. While this mission is necessary and admirable, it can be problematic if students are allowed to register for classes after those classes have begun. This critical analysis article addresses the issue of late registration by providing the reader with a concise literature review on the effects of late registration on student success and the results of a case study involving 121 new freshmen from a midsize community college. Also provided are recommendations designed to eliminate the conflict between a late registration practice that does not promote student success and institutional goals of promoting student success.
