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 class roster. Adds may be made only on the day(s) designated for that purpose at the beginning of each enrollment period. There is a distinct difference between a drop and a withdrawal. A student initiated drop takes place during the schedule change period of a semester, up until the official census date (12th class day). Drops do not appear on a student’s academic transcript. Withdrawals begin after the census date, and continue through the withdrawal deadline date listed for each semester.
Students who choose to withdraw from a class(es) 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.
