Drops and/or Adds
When students add or drop courses prior to the official count day, their names will be added or removed from the official class roster with no separate notice being sent to the instructor prior to receipt of official count day roll. After the count day, students who withdraw will be assigned a grade of “W” on the instructor's electronic class roster in the Faculty Access System. Adds may be made only on the day(s) designated for that purpose at the beginning of each enrollment period. Drops/withdrawals may be made at any time during the enrollment period through the last day to drop or withdraw as listed in the schedule. Any change of schedule (adds, drops or withdrawals) must be made on the form provided by the Vice-President of Student Services for that purpose and must be made in writing, by fax, or the online student initiated course drop form by the student. No telephone calls will be honored. The official published date(s) should be checked. Students voluntarily dropping or withdrawing within the first twelve (12) weeks of a sixteen (16) week semester, the first eight (8) weeks of an eleven (11) week semester,the first six (6) weeks of an eight (8) week semester, the first four (4) weeks of a five and one-half (5 1/2) week semester, or the first eleven (11) days of a three (3) week semester will receive an automatic grade of “W” unless an administrative withdrawal has previously been processed by the college.
If a student ceases class attendance without officially dropping or withdrawing, he/she will receive a grade of “F” for the course(s). The Class Schedule for a student’s specific location should be used for drop and withdrawal dates.
