Priority Registration

DSPS offers early, or "priority" registration to students with verified disabilities.

1. You must have a current Student Education Contract (SEC) on file with DSPS.

2. Meet with your DSPS specialist and/or counselor to discuss your courses.

• Meet with your specialist if you will be enrolling in a learning skills course.
