Adding or Dropping a Course

The add/drop period is the first five business days of the semester.  During this time, you may add and drop individual classes.  Classes dropped during this period will receive a 100% refund of any tuition and fees paid. 

For summer sessions, and other terms at least three weeks but less than ten weeks in length, students may add or drop courses through the 5th business day of the term.

For courses meeting once a week, students are allowed to:

- Add the course up to the second day of class and
- Drop the course one business day after the first class session.

For courses less than three weeks in length, students are allowed to:

-Add the course up to the second day of class and
-Drop the course one business day after the first class session.

For courses 3 to 10 weeks in length, students may add or drop the class through the end of the third business day.

Note: If a student makes changes to their class schedule, adds or drops a class, the changes to the student’s account are available online.  If the student receives financial aid, changes may impact the student’s financial aid award.

If a student adds a course after the add/drop period has ended, the student must pay for the course at the time of registration.

 

Individual Course Withdrawal
If a student registers for a course and later decides not to attend CLC, the student must notify Records and Registration and complete the proper paperwork to withdraw from the course after the free drop/add period.

Students may withdraw from a course up to ten days before the first day of final exams. If the student properly withdraws from a course, after the free add/drop period, a “W” will be recorded on his/her transcript. Withdrawing from a course does not impact GPA, but it may affect satisfactory academic progress.

 

Total Withdrawal
If planning to totally withdraw from CLC, the Financial Aid office must be notified and the required paperwork completed. If the College is not notified and the withdraw form is not properly completed,

- The student may owe the College for tuition and fees, even if no longer attending classes.
- The student will receive a grade from the instructor, most likely an “F”.

A student will be required to repay all or some of any financial aid received, if:

- Withdrawing from all classes on or before 60% of the completed term,
- No longer attending and fails to notify the college.

 

Refunds
Withdrawing from individual classes after the add/drop period does NOT generate a refund.  NOTE:  For the purpose of refunds, the term "days" refers to business days.
