Register for Classes

You may add both regular and late start classes using Self Service up to the first day of classes as long as space in the class is available. After the first day of class, you must receive permission from the instructor which is most commonly issued through e-mail communication. Instructors will complete an Add Authorization, which will allow the student to register for the class in which permission was granted.​

If students are unable to register for a class, because it has reached its capacity (all seats are filled) – the student may be able to add themselves to the class waitlist. 

Instructions for adding yourself to the waitlist through Self-Service can be found here:

How to Add a Course to the waitlist

Waitlist Process.

• If a seat becomes available (prior to the first-class meeting) and the student is the next person on the waitlist – they will automatically be enrolled.
  • If the student no longer wants to take the class, it is their responsibility to remove themselves from the waitlist and/or the registered course.
  • Students should check their email with regularity!
• If a student is still on the waitlist when the semester begins, they must attend the first class to see if the faculty member is allowing students to be added.
  • If the faculty member allows students to be added to the course, they will provide Add Authorization, the student must register for the course through Self-Service.

Waitlist Facts:

• Students can only join the waitlist for one section of each course, not multiple sections.
• Students cannot join the waitlist for a course that they are already enrolled in.
• Students may not join a waitlist for a class if it has overlapping times with another course.
• Students should only add their name to a waitlist if they intend to enroll in the class (if a seat becomes available).
• Students should ensure they meet the prerequisites before joining a waitlist, and complete a prerequisite clearance if they are using coursework from other colleges.
• “Please note, if you have a Hold on your student account you will be unable to add courses or join a waitlist.   

You may drop a class by using Self Service or in person in the Admissions Office. You are responsible for dropping courses by published deadlines. Failure to do so may result in non-passing grades or outstanding fees. The following rules apply to dropping a class: 

No "W" notation -- Withdrawal -- or record of the course will reflect on your permanent record if you drop the course from the college by the published deadlines.

A "W" notation -- Withdrawal -- will be assigned if​ you drop the course between the 5th and 15th week of the regular semester (or 75% of the term, whichever is less). Please refer to the academic calendar for specific deadlines.

If you wish to withdraw from all classes during the semester, you may use Self Service to drop all classes. Failure to withdraw properly may result in the assignment of unsatisfactory grades in those courses. (See above for drop instructions). If you need to drop all courses for personal or medical reasons, you may file a “Leave of Absence Petition” (hyperlink to form) for that semester, which will allow you to enroll the next semester without have to reapply to the college.
