Class Registration Process
Step 1.
Log in to the myPHSC Bobcat Portal
- You should already know your PHSC email and the password you set. ***THIS IS NOT THE SAME AS YOUR PASCO STUDENT EMAIL AND PASSWORD***
- Your email will end with @student.phsc.edu. Use the steps above to create your account and set a password
Step 2.
Open Student Dashboard
Step 3.
Click “Registration”
Step 4.
Click “Register for Classes”
Step 5.
- Select the term in which you are registering (For example, Spring 2025 will be the second semester in the 2024-2025 School Year)
- Select “Continue” (NOTE: If you get this error message “Invalid or undefined Enrollment Status or date range invalid.” then registration is not yet open. Check the Academic Calendar for registration dates.)
- On your Dynamic Form, you inputted specific classes. Those course codes will show up on the dropdown list. Select a course code (Example: ENC is English Composition) and click Search
- All sections with available courses will be shown. You can register for a section by clicking the “Add” button to the right and click “Submit” at the bottom right
Congratulations! You are officially registered for your first PHSC course! Nothing else is needed after you click the “Submit” button for registration. You can log in to your PHSC Canvas page using this link. Log in with the front of your email, for example if your email is aai1000@student.phsc.edu, your username is aai1000 and your password is the same as your myPHSC password.
How to Drop a Course
You can register for courses you are not planning on taking or are saving as a back-up. You can drop a course with no penalty to your GPA until the drop deadline which can be found on the Academic Calendar. To drop a class, follow Step 4 but then locate the list of classes you are registered for in the bottom right corner. Under the “Action” dropdown, select “Drop” or “Remove”, depending on the time and the account. They both do the same actions. Finally, click “Submit” and those classes will be dropped from your schedule and you will be able to free up space for another student. All courses must be dropped PRIOR TO the Drop deadline on the PHSC Academic Calendar.
All classes full?
If you log into the myPHSC portal and all of the courses are full, you have a few options.
- Submit a new Dynamic Form with more courses on it that are not full. You can check class sizes and availability by clicking “Browse Course Schedule” instead of “Register for Courses” on Step 4 above.
- You can wait for the deadline to pay fees. Dual Enrollment courses are mixed with DE students and real PHSC students. If PHSC students do not pay by the deadline, they are dropped from the course. This will usually open up more spots. You can find this date on the Academic Calendar in the “Registration Fees Due by 7 p.m.” section.
- If there is no availability after attempting the above two steps, and you need a class for HS graduation or to graduate with your AA, please meet with Ms. Tavarez or Ms. Ragusa and they will contact PHSC and see if there is anything we can do.

Do you want to graduate High School with an Associates in Arts Degree?
Graduating with an Associates in Arts Degree (AA Degree) is a difficult journey but it is more then possible. Hundreds of students across Pasco County graduate HS with an AA degree every year. In order to do it, you MUST make a plan and a schedule. You have to have a plan in place in order to accomplish this. Click here to download a sample template. You are limited to how many courses you can take each semester. You have to start early in order to accomplish this. Contact Ms. Tavarez or Ms. Ragusa to complete a plan. Stop by the Front Office for a list of full PHSC graduation requirements.
Use Your Degree Audit
- In the Bobcat Student Portal, you can look at your Degree Audit by clicking the “View Audit” button of the Degree Progress card on your Bobcat Portal.
- The “Requirements” progress percentage is the amount of Required General Education courses completed. This includes English, Science, Math, History, Humanities, and Technology.
- The “Credits” progress percentage is the entire AA degree progress. This includes General Education requirements and Elective credit requirements.
- If you want to graduate with your AA degree, make sure you are on track by checking this audit. You are able to see currently enrolled classes, completed classes, and your completed class grades.
- If you submitted AP, AICE, or IB scores to PHSC, you can see the courses that those exams credited for in the Degree Audit page. For example, if you get a 3 or higher on the AP Computer Science Principles exam, the COP1000 “Intro to Computer Programming” course will be added to your audit and it will indicate that this was satisfied by the completion of the AP exam.
