Students register online for the next semester after developing a plan of study with their academic advisor.
After the official registration period, a student may add or drop courses. The Office of Academic Records publishes class schedules, academic advising and registration periods, and add and drop dates.
During two-week sessions, a student may add or drop a course during the first day of instruction if facilities, equipment, and enrollment permit. During 14-week sessions, a student may add or drop courses during the first three days of instruction. Both the academic advisor’s signature and the course instructor’s consent are required. Students may appeal a denial of consent to the division chair and the vice president for academic affairs. After the add date, students may not add a course unless their academic advisor agrees, the instructor consents, and the vice president for academic affairs approves.
Two-week courses may not be dropped past the first day of instruction. Grades of "P" (pass) or "F" (fail) will be recorded on the transcript.
Fourteen-week courses dropped within the drop period do not appear on the transcript. Courses dropped after the drop period through the tenth week of instruction will result in a grade of "W" being recorded on the transcript. Permission to withdraw from a course after the tenth week is possible only in extenuating circumstances by special permission of the vice president for academic affairs.
