The creation of a mobile registration site here at Cerritos College for the sake of convenient signing-up for classes in the coming semesters with your iPhone, iPad or any other App phone and tablet devices is a natural progression in a technological world.
Full and part-time students would be given the opportunity to carry out their quality-of-life obligations such as their family duties or work responsibilities and still have time to register for the classes that are taken to increase their standard of living.
The term ‘First come, first served’ has been a fair way of doing business throughout the centuries and though the benefits of a mobile registration site would fall solely on those who could afford such app enabled devices, the need to attend to the needs of an ever-changing and advancing student body will not and cannot be denied.

Connecticut College, a liberal arts school on the east coast, not only offers its students a mobile registration site, but game console registration as well. This is a marriage made in nerd heaven. Students can register for classes while taking a gamer’s break from their Playstation 3, XBox 360, and Nintendo Wii.
All students would have to register their devices by providing the MAC address, which is an identification number on their devices to access either mobile or game console registration. Students who have devices that are aren’t MAC will still be able to use mobile registration because even non MAC devices have one.
With the computer era staking it’s claim on our every day lives, the creation of a mobile registration site here at Cerritos College would serve the student body two-fold; undisrupted fulfillment of daily obligations while registering for classes and effectively compelling said students to keep up with the technological times.
