Can I drop a class?
Yes, and when you do it can make a big difference.
If a class is dropped prior to the official start of the term, you will receive a full refund. If a class is dropped prior to the attendance census date of the semester or term (check your bill/schedule for specific refund dates), you will receive a 50% refund. After this, there is no refund.
Before mid-term (check the inside cover of the current catalog for the exact date), you may drop a class and are guaranteed a "W" for a grade. A "W" means only withdrawal, and doesn't count against your grade-point-average (GPA). However, lots of "W's" in a short period of time can cause you to get caught in the probation policy, so use withdrawal from class cautiously.
After mid-term, you can also drop a class, but the instructor can assign either a "W" or an "F" for a final grade. If you plan to withdraw after mid-term, check with your professor before you withdraw, so that there isn't an unpleasant surprise.Drop/Add forms are available in the Admissions & Records Office.
Can I add a class?
Yes, but the time frame is short. Usually you can add a class during the first two official days of the term. After this, you will need the instructor's signed approval on your drop/add form to add a class. Check with the Admissions & Records Office for exceptions and further instructions.
How do I get my classes for next semester?
Around mid-semester, pre-registration information for the next upcoming semester will be posted on our web site, and also emailed to all students via Ocean Cruiser. The schedule of classes will be available online at that time.
How do I get a letter to an insurance company or any other agency verifying that I'm a full time student?
Go to the Admissions & Records Office. You will need to fill out an Information Release Form, and present identification. Remember to bring the exact name and address of the insurance company or agency you wish us to contact.
How do I get a transcript of my grades?
Official transcripts (which have the College's seal affixed) are mailed only to another college or organization. Students may obtain an unofficial transcript (also known as a "student copy," which is an unsealed copy that doesn't have the official stamp on it). Transcripts must be requested in writing. The request form is available on our web site for you to print, complete and send to us.
