How Student Parents Get a head Start in College - Priority Registration for First-Gen Families

What Is TecoGuide?

TecoGuide is the only app built to help you navigate your college and career journey in the quickest and most affordable way possible. Created by EdTechQuity, TecoGuide is focused on opening doors to higher education and career opportunities for everyone, especially students from underrepresented and first-generation backgrounds.

Each episode and update we provide is filled with the information you need to plan smarter, save time, and reach your goals.

Why This Matters

This change is huge, especially if you’re in a highly competitive or impacted major like nursing, biology, or engineering, where course availability can make or break your academic progress.

With priority registration, student parents can:

-Register before many other students

-Access high-demand classes sooner

-Plan more stable class schedules around work and childcare

-Avoid delays in graduation

As long as you register on the date the college provides, you'll have a much better chance of enrolling in the courses you need—when you need them.

A Light Note with a Serious Message

While this benefit is powerful, it’s important to clarify: Don’t have kids just for priority registration. The law is designed to support those who are already managing the difficult balance of parenting and education—not to be misused.

Take Advantage of This Opportunity

If you're a student parent at a California college, this is your moment to take a step forward. Not everyone knows about this new rule—but you do now. Be sure to:

1.Check with your college’s admissions or records office to confirm your eligibility.

2.Register early—don’t miss the designated priority registration window.

Final Thoughts: Empowerment Through Policy

At TecoGuide, we believe small policy changes can make a huge difference—especially when they lift up student parents and first-generation learners who are working hard to create better futures for themselves and their families.

This law is one more step toward education equity—and your success story.
