Adding Classes
To add courses to your class schedule after registration, complete
and submit an Add/Drop form to the Admissions and Records Office and
pay the required fees. To add a class after the first week of classes,
instructor and Dean of Student Affairs' approval is required. There
are no wait lists for online classes. No waitlisted student
will be added to a class by Admissions and Records without a signed
Add form from the student which includes an approval signature of
either the instructor or an instructional administrator who has been
authorized by the instructor to sign on his/her behalf. No
waitlisted students will be added to a class after the add deadline.
To add a closed on-campus class, the student must go
to the first class meeting and ask the instructor to be added to the
class. If space is available and the instructor approves the request,
the instructor must sign the Add form. The student must then take
the signed Add form to the Admissions and Records Office to formally
add the class(es) and pay the fees. Please refer to the semester schedule
for the Add/Drop Timetable.
Waitlisted Classes
If a class is closed a student may add his/her name to the waitlist. Placement on a waitlist does NOT guarantee acceptance into a closed class. If space becomes available students will be automatically moved from the waitlist to the class roster in the order they were added to the waitlist. Once you are added to the class roster you will be notified by phone and mail. If you no longer wish to enroll in the course, you should remove your name form the waitlist. All waitlists will be purged on the last day to register. If you were not added to the class roster before this is done you should contact the instructor by attending the first scheduled class meeting or by email for online classes. After securing the instructor’s permission to add the course (either by signature on the program card or by email) the student must officially enroll in the course through the Admissions and Records Office. Enrollment must be completed prior to the registration deadline.
Dropping Classes
It is the student’s responsibility to participate fully in classes
once registration is complete. However, should it become necessary
to withdraw from a class, it is the student’s responsibility
to submit an Add/Drop form to the Admissions and Records Office. Classes
may also be dropped by phone or the Internet. An instructor may drop
students who are not attending class by the class census date, but
it is not the instructor’s responsibility to do so. The student
must officially withdraw from class to avoid a failing grade. Please
refer to the semester schedule for the Add/Drop Timetable.
No drop slips are accepted or processed after Friday of the 14th
week of semester-length classes or 75% of the term for short-term
classes.
An Important Note About Adding/Dropping Classes
If you are adding or dropping a course, please see a counselor,
especially if your eligibility in special programs may be adversely
affected (e.g. Veterans, Financial Aid, EOPS, DSPS and Intercollegiate
Athletics). Students on academic probation or high school students
may also be affected by program changes. Likewise, students who
are planning to transfer may want to determine the effects of dropping
a course on their transfer status.
Auditing Classes
Students may attend regular college classes for no credit with the
following conditions:
1. Student must be eligible for admission. Attending or attempting
to attend a class when not registered, or when not enrolled in that
class is a disciplinary offense.
2. The instructor must approve.
3. Space must be available.
4. Registration is allowed only after the second class meeting.
5. Audit status may not be changed to regular status or vice versa.
6. The $15 per unit audit fee is non-refundable; out-of-state tuition
applies.
7. No transcript of record is maintained.
8. Students with six or more units pay no audit fee. |
