Drop/Add
With the approval of the student's academic advisor, students may revise their schedule to ADD a class up to and including the fifth class day of the semester. Only classes that are open may be added. A list of courses that are CLOSED is posted outside of the Registrar's Office.
Students may DROP a course during the first ten class days of each semester. ADD-DROP is handled through the Registrar's Office. These dates are printed in the college catalogue. The academic advisor's signature is required for all Add or Drop changes.

Overloads
The normal full time semester course load is between 12 and 17 credits. Students who wish to register for an additional course must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5 and the approval of their academic advisor and the registrar. There is an additional tuition charge for any course considered an overload. Appropriate billing will be made by the Business Office.

Withdrawal from a Course
It is presumed that a student will complete the courses for which they are registered. If necessary, a student may withdraw from a course by completing a withdrawal form within the first half of the semester as specified in the college calendar. The withdrawal procedure, must be completed within the permitted period, is initiated with the Director of Academic Advisement. A "W" grade is given for an approved withdrawal. If a student unofficially withdraws from a course (stops attending class without completing the procedure), a grade of "F" is recorded.
A full-time student who withdraws from a course after the second week of classes resulting in their course load to drop below 12 credits, will be considered full-time for the entire semester. No refund will be credited to the student's account for the course dropped nor will the student's status be changed from full-time to part-time. Late withdrawal from a course will be considered only for extraordinary circumstances accompanied by appropriate documents and subject to the approval of the Director of Academic Advisement.

Withdrawal from College
A student who withdraws from the college is required to contact the Center for Academic Advisement to begin formal withdrawal procedures. An exit interview is required of all withdrawing students with the Financial Aid Office and the Director of Academic Advisement. If under extraordinary circumstances, a student is unable to attend the exit interview on campus, the interview may be conducted via the telephone. In all instances the last day of class attendance indicated on the completed exit interview form is considered as the official date of withdrawal. The tuition refund policy is outlined in the college catalog. A student who requests a late withdrawal from the college for depression, other psychological or medical reasons may apply for re-admission to the college when he or she presents written documentation detailing the treatment received. In all cases re-admission is subject to the college's approval.

ACADEMIC GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
A student who has an academic grievance against a faculty member should discuss the matter with his or her academic advisor or with the Academic Advisement Office, to clarify the proper procedure for handling it. Please see the Academic Grievance Procedure in the College Catalogue.
