Adding or Withdrawing Courses/Schedule Changes

Adding Course(s): Students may add a course(s) to their schedule before the semester begins or during the first week in a regular college semester or term (late registration). In special and unusual circumstances, the Vice President of Student Services, or the Vice President’s designee, may, after consultation with the relevant faculty member and the appropriate dean, authorize a registration after the late registration period. A late fee shall be assessed if the student adds a course(s) after the first meeting (Board Policy 5.42).

Adding courses may be done in person or by phone at the Springfield campus or at any one of the Outreach Centers during the regular business hours of each location or by using WebAdvisor.

Withdrawing from Course(s): Students may officially withdraw from course(s) up to one full week before the last day of classes in a regular college semester or term. After the first week of class a student will receive a grade of “W.” Shorter term courses will have a proportionate withdrawal period. Refunds shall be in accordance with Board Policy 5.18, Tuition and Fee Refund, and the grade recorded at the time of withdrawal shall be in accordance with Board Policy 5.8, Grades Given Upon Withdrawal (Board Policy 5.42).

Withdrawing from courses may be done in person or by phone at the Springfield campus or at any Outreach Centers during the regular business hours of each location. Students are advised to discuss impact of withdrawing from courses with the Office of Financial Aid before withdrawing from all courses.
