• 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 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 Windows operating system.
  
  
3. Fill out the "Student Progress Sheet" handed out at the orientation. Turn it in to your instructor.
