Open registration is held prior to the beginning of the semester.  In order to register, students must have completed the following: 

1. Admissions application.
2. Placement testing.
3. Waiver for release of High School transcripts.
4. Financial aid applications and payment arrangements if required.
5. Course registration card.

Early registration allows students with advanced standing to secure placement in needed courses and to determine their financial responsibilities before the start of the next semester.

Late Registration:

Students may register through the second week of the semester with instructor and advisor approval.  Late registrants are responsible for making up any missed course work and must pay the late registration fee of $25.00.

Adding Courses:

Students may add courses through the end of the second week of the semester with the approval of the instructor and advisor.  An official drop/add form must be submitted to the Enrollment Coordinator's Office.

Special Registration:

Students may register for 298 and 299 courses at any time without penalty.

Course Audit:

Students wishing to audit a course must complete the registration card and application form and pay the audit fee.  Students taking a course for credit will have priority over students auditing a course if classroom space is limited.

Dropping Courses:

Students may drop courses through the end of the second week of the semester without a transcript notation by completing a drop/add form with instructor's and advisor's signatures and submitting it to the Enrollment Coordinator's Office. 

Repeated Courses:

Students registering to repeat a previously attempted course for which they received a grade must submit a Repeat Course Form at the time of registration.  The first grade earned will be converted to an "R", and the second grade will be recorded on the permanent transcript regardless of which grade is higher.  No prerequisite course may be repeated if a more advanced course has been completed with a grade of "C" or better.

Withdrawal From Courses After Drop/Add Period:

A student may withdraw from a class or classes after the second week and before the final week of the semester by completing a withdrawal form, obtaining the appropriate signatures, and submitting it to the Dean of Student Services.  Courses that students have withdrawn from will appear on their grade reports and transcripts with a "W" grade.   

Tuition and fees are assessed on the number of credits for which students are enrolled at the end of the second week of the semester.  Withdrawing from a course after the second week will not result in a tuition reduction.

Withdrawal From College:

Students needing to withdraw from the College during the course of the semester should meet with the Dean of Student Services to complete the necessary withdrawal form. Failure to complete a formal withdrawal may result in the student receiving "F" grades in all their courses.

Administrative Withdrawal:

Administrative withdrawal is the termination of a student's enrollment in a course by the College.  It is used to correct registration errors, to assist students who are seriously ill or otherwise unable to carry out a normal withdrawal, for nonpayment of tuition and fees, or for disciplinary reasons.  Student actions that might lead to administrative withdrawal include plagiarism, persistent disruption of classes, harassment, violence, or copying of another student's work.

Students who do not attend classes in the first two weeks will be automatically withdrawn.
