IMPORTANT COLLEGE TERMS
AND POLICIES
ADDING A CLASS

No one has been officially enrolled in a class. To
enroll in a class you will need to ADD the class.

You should:

Attend the FIRST class meeting to see if there is a seat
available for you.

Bring with you a “Special H.S. Add form” (Add
forms are in your folder and additional copies
available in Conlan Hall 107)
Wait for the instructor to take attendance and when
they ask who would like to add- raise your hand!


If there is space in the class the instructor will give
you an add sticker to place on your form.
ADDING A CLASS (CONT’D)

Complete the Special H.S. ADD/DROP form
(check the add box and be sure to include your
student id#) then:

Submit the form to Admissions and Records in
Conlan Hall 107 at the Ocean Campus
The class you are adding must be listed on
your principal consent form. If it is not you
will need to submit a new principal consent form
to Admissions and Records in Conlan 107.
(*Class on Add form and consent form should
match)
 Our staff will visit each of the classes in our
program of study to facilitate the add process for
you.

DROPPING A CLASS

If you need to drop a class you do not want, you
will need to do so prior to the drop deadline. If
you drop your class before the deadline: February
10th, no record will appear on your transcript.
*Note: Do not expect that the instructor will drop
you if you stop going to class or never show up. It
is your responsibility to drop the class. If you
forget to do so you may receive an "F" in the
course.
HOW TO DROP A CLASS
 Complete
a Special H.S. ADD/DROP form,
with your student id# on it and check the
Drop box
 Submit the form to Admissions and Records
in Conlan Hall 107 at the Ocean Campus
*
All add/drop forms need to go to Conlan
107, do not give them to your instructor or
deliver them to any other office. If you’re
having trouble submitting your form, contact
Valerie, Warren, or Connie.
DROP DEADLINE
***The last day to DROP a course is
____________________???
 Please do not just stop attending classes without
formally dropping or withdrawing from the
course. Doing so will result in you getting an “F”.
 If you are struggling to keep up or can no longer
make the class meetings contact Connie, Warren,
or Valerie immediately.

PASS/NO PASS GRADING

Instead of receiving a letter grade in a course,
you will be assigned a P for Pass or NP for No
Pass, which will appear on your transcript.
Consult with your syllabus to determine if P/NP
grading is available for your course.
* To sign up for Pass/No Pass grading you must
complete a “Pass/No Pass Grading Request
Form” by February 22nd. Forms are available in
Conlan Hall 107 or on our forms table today.
WITHDRAWING FROM A CLASS
If you need to drop a class after the drop deadline
(Feb. 10th) you are only allowed to Withdraw from
the course.
 It is important to note that withdrawing from a
class after the drop period will result in a
notation of W on the student's transcript. A
notation of W does not affect the student's GPA,
but too many W’s are discouraged.
