The College has endeavored to meet, to the fullest extent possible, the
needs, interests, and schedule requirements of students, current and
potential. In so doing, it has, in recent years, extended the Registration
and Drop/Add activities throughout the first week of classes. A regrettable
consequence of the attempt to accommodate students has been the disruption
of instructional activities.
Registration and Drop/Add must not interfere with instructional
activities at the beginning of each term. Therefore, to minimize possible
interference, this Policies and Procedures memorandum instructs all offices
and individuals involved in Registration and Drop/Add to:
- Move office schedules forward and develop appropriate procedures and
timetables so that Registration and open Drop/Add can be completed prior to
the first day of classes.
- Publicize and stress the firmness of the new timetable and procedures
for Registration and Drop/Add by advertising and other internal and external
communications to students.
- Permit exceptions to the general rule that Registration and Drop/Add
must be completed prior to the first week of classes only in instances such
as the following:
- The College itself is responsible for errors in the student's schedule
(e.g., a student is registered into a course without proper consideration
for the prerequisite of the course).
- A student, after having registered into a course, fails the prerequisite
of the course.
- Classes are cancelled after the payment match.
- Special program placement testing or English placement testing during
the first week of classes reveals that a course change is indicated.
- A personal crisis warrants a special review by the Dean of Students or
his or her designee.
