Adding, dropping and withdrawing from classes

If you want to modify your class schedule either by adding, dropping or withdrawing from a class, you can do so via the web. Keep the following key points in mind:

Make sure you have your student ID and PIN.
Go to e-Services, use your PIN and follow the directions. (If you are "blocked" from registering for a class, you may need to complete a Waiver of Course Prerequisite Form.)
Make sure all your changes are recorded and your class schedule is changed.
Print out your modified class schedule for reference.

Note: MCTC will drop you from classes for nonpayment of tuition and fees. The Drop for Nonpayment policy has further details.

Adding a class

The deadline date for adding a full-term class for Summer 2008 is Jun. 4, 2008.
The deadline date for adding a full-term class for Fall 2008 is Aug. 29, 2008.

You must add a class via the web. The class you add will appear on your transcript and must be paid for.

Adding a short-term class

The add deadline for short-term classes (less than 13 weeks in length) varies. Please refer to the information below. [Exception: Nursing Assistant/Home Health Aide classes must be added before the first class meeting.]

Classes 1-3 weeks in length: can be added up until the day before the class begins. This includes classes that begin on Saturday that are 1-3 weeks in length.
Classes 4-6 weeks in length: one day after the class begins. This includes classes that begin on Saturday that are 4-6 weeks in length.
Classes 7-13 weeks in length: two days after the class begins.

Dropping a class

The deadline date for dropping a full-term class for Summer 2008 is Jun. 4, 2008.
The deadline date for dropping a full-term class for Fall 2008 is Aug. 29, 2008.

When you drop a class it is removed from your transcript as if you never registered and your tuition will be refunded. You must drop the class via the web; otherwise you will receive a grade of "F". You will not be dropped automatically from classes that you do not attend.

Dropping a short-term class

The drop deadline for short-term classes (less than 13 weeks in length) is midnight of the following business day. [Exceptions: 1) classes that begin on a Saturday are midnight of the following Monday; 2) Nursing Assistant/Home Health Aide classes must be dropped before the first class meeting.]

Withdrawing from a class

The deadline date for withdrawing from a full-term class for Fall 2008 is Nov. 26, 2008.

When you withdraw from a class, you'll receive a "W" on your transcript and it will be calculated in your class completion rate. If this rate falls below 67 percent of your registered classes, you may face academic probation and suspension and it may affect your financial aid eligibility. If you believe that special circumstances entitle you to a refund, you must apply for a refund under MCTC refund policy guidelines.

Withdrawing from a short-term class

The deadlines to withdraw from short-term classes are as follows:

Classes 1-3 weeks in length: two days after the class begins.
Classes 4-6 weeks in length: ten days after the class begins.
Classes 7-9 weeks in length: four weeks after the class begins.
Classes 10-13 weeks in length: six weeks after the class begins.

Course cancellations

The Office of Academic Affairs reserves the right to cancel a course or course section after the schedule has been published if the associate vice president of academic affairs determines that it would be in the best interest of the College. Students who registered for a course that has been cancelled will be notified via phone and mail.
