• Scheduled Orientation: (Preferred Method) See the CABT Department's orientation schedule for open-entry courses. Your orientation is your only scheduled class meeting, although you will need to visit the campus at least a few times to verify progress and turn in homework. If you are unable to attend one of our orientations or are registering after the first week of class, please e-mail your instructor at cabt@cabrillo.edu or phone (831) 479-6277 to make an individual appointment.
• Data Entry Software: If you have purchased the book, CABT staff can copy the software you need onto a floppy disk or USB memory stick for you to use on your home PC. The software works only on DOS or Windows computers, not Macintosh. It does not run on 64-bit versions of the Vista operating system.
  
  
3. Fill out the "Student Progress Sheet" handed out at the orientation. Turn it in to your instructor.
