Returning Student - Steps to Success
⇒ You are a Returning Student if you have been absent (sat out) a primary fall or
spring term. Returning students, absent two or more primary terms, need to reapply
to Cuesta College.
⇒ Returning students lose their priority registration status based on credits completed at Cuesta.
