Add/Drop a Class

Students are responsible for their classes and should not expect others to complete registration actions for them. 

Students may register for classes either by using the Registration feature in their Cascade Web accounts or by submitting a completed Registration or Add/Drop Form in the Registrar’s Office.

Fall 2008 Registration Information

Continuing students may begin registering during registration week (April 7 - 11 for the 2008 term). Continuing, returning, and transfer students may register during open registration (April 21 - August 22, 2008).

Each student must be individually advised before registering. After advising, the student will be given an acess code from their advisor that must be entered before registering over the Web. Alternatively, the advisor may sign a Registration or Add/Drop Form that the student can take to the Registrar's Office to complete the registration process.

After initial registration, a student may add or drop courses and advisor permission is not required.

Although a student may not add a closed class, a student has the option of waitlisting a closed class. The waitlist is ordered by the date and time a student is added to the list. If a seat becomes available in a closed class, then that seat is reserved for the first student on the waitlist and the student will be notified when registered from the waitlist.

September 2,  2008 is the first day of classes for the Fall 2008 semester and is the beginning of the Add/Drop Period.

The last day to add a class is Septebmber 9, 2008. From September 2 - 9, the waitlist provides information to an instructor on students who were interested in the class. Because the instructor has control of class enrollment as of the first day of class, the instructor may, or may not, decide to add an additional student and may consult the waitlist before selecting an additional student to add. To authorize a student to add a class, the instructor provides the student with an Add Code that the student uses to register for the class online or the instructor signs an Add Form for the student to process at the Registrar's Office.

The last day to drop a class without record is September 15, 2008. From September 2 - September 15, a student may drop a course without the course being listed on the student's transcript and the student does not need the instructor's permission to do so. (The instructor will be informed by email when such an action is taken.) To drop a course without record, the student may sign-in to the individual Cascade Web account to use the Registration function or the student may visit the Registrar's Office to complete and sign a Drop Form.

The last day to drop a class with an automatically assigned "W" grade is October 13, 2008. From September 16 - October 13, 2008, a student may drop a course and automatically receive a "W" grade. The student must have the instructor's acknowledgement to drop a course as indicated by either a Drop Code that the student can use in with the Cascade Registration function, or by the instructor's signature on a completed Drop Form that the student may process in the Registrar's Office.

The last day to drop a class is December 10, 2008. From October 14 - December 10,  a student may drop a class and must have the instructor's acknowledgement to do so as indicated by either a Drop Code or a signature on a completed Drop Form. A student who drops after October 13, 2008, is subject to a "Withdrawal Failing" (WF) grade according to the faculty's withdrawal policy.

Note: A student registered for more than 4.25 units (or 4.75 units including at least .50 unit of activity credit) is subject to a tuition overload fee unless the overload is alleviated by the second day of class. For details concerning tuition refunds, see the "Refunds and Adjustments" section of the university Bulletin or visit Student Financial Services on the Web.
