You may add a class to your schedule through the first week of the semester. After the first week, a student may register only with instructor permission. At that time, you will need to submit a Change of Enrollment form with the instructor signature to the Records office for processing.
Dropping Courses
A drop can be completed up through the 100% refund period of the course.
Students may “drop” a course for a designated period of time which will not create a record on your official transcript.
Complete a change of enrollment form with the records office, or access the Student Services tab of Campus Connect. The online drop capability is limited to the first week of classes. After that week, you must submit a written form in order to be dropped from a course.
If you have registered for a course and decide not to attend, you will need to take action to initiate your removal from the class roster. If you do not request this removal from the class, your academic record could be adversely affected. Simply ceasing to attend class sessions does not remove you from a course.
Withdrawing from Courses
When the drop period has ended, you may still request a removal from your course; however the action becomes a withdraw and will be listed as a “W” status on your official transcript. You may complete a withdraw action through 75% of the course.
A student who ceases to attend class after withdrawal deadlines will receive the grade earned for that course.
Please refer to the refund policy listed below.
General Refund Policy
Effective Fall 2007, students choosing to drop or withdraw from a course or courses must notify the College in writing using the Change of Enrollment Form as outlined in the Dropping/Adding Courses section or by contacting the Office of the Registrar. If you do not file a Change of Enrollment Form or contact the Office of the Registrar during the designated refund period, you will continue to owe all fees assessed at registration.
Refunds are calculated on business days regardless of holidays. Business days are considered to be Monday through Friday. Technology fees, consumable fees, and tuition are refunded at the same rate noted below. With regard to the technology fee, if the student withdraws from all of his/her classes during the 100% refund period, the technology fee will be refunded. If the student is enrolled in any classes beyond the 100% refund period, the technology fee will not be refunded. For purposes of the refund period, the "first day" is calculated differently for terms of 12 weeks or more and for terms of less than 12 weeks. For terms of 12 weeks or more, the refund period would begin on Monday of the first week of classes that a particular course meets. For terms of less than 12 weeks, the refund period would begin on the first day the course meets. For terms of less than 12 weeks, if a class begins on a Saturday or Sunday, the refund period would begin on the following Monday.
| 16 Week | 10 business days - First day: Monday of the 1st week of classes |
| 12,13,14,15 Week | 8 business days - First day: Monday of the 1st week of classes |
| 10 & 11 Week | 6 business days - First day: First day the class meets |
| 8 & 9 Week | 4 business days - First day: First day the class meets |
| 4, 5, 6, 7 Week | 2 business days - First day: First day the class meets |
| Less than 4 Weeks | 1 business day - First day: First day the class meets |
The College reserves the right to cancel classes at any time. If your course is canceled, you'll receive a full refund.
You should allow approximately one to two weeks for processing of a refund check to be mailed to the address shown on your College record.
PLEASE NOTE: Dropping and/or adding classes can affect the amount of financial aid a student receives and, in some cases, can result in cancellation of financial aid. Therefore, when dropping or adding classes, it's important for the student to check with the Financial Aid Office to determine whether his/her financial aid will be affected.
