A. Change between Noncredit and Credit
Some courses are offered as both credit and continuing education noncredit. Students who register may wish to change from one status to the other. In a regular term, students who wish to make this change must do so during the first three weeks of a 15-week term. For terms shorter than 15 weeks, the change period will be defined proportionately.
B. Add/Adding Classes/Class Enrollment
Students must register for a course before they enter or participate in the class and may not enroll after the established last day to add a class. Students must switch class sections of a course or add a course during the add period.
C. Drop/Dropping Courses
On or before the drop deadline (see chart), students may drop a course, which means that all entries for the course are dropped completely from students’ transcripts. To accomplish this, students must submit a Credit Registration • Add • Drop Form at the Records and Registration office, e-mail the form to records@aacc.edu, or drop the course through MyAACC. The last day upon which courses may be dropped, is available on the students’ MyAACC page under My Classes. All courses in which a student is enrolled after the final drop date will be entered permanently into their academic record.
When students stop attending and do not drop or withdraw from a class, they will receive a failing grade and they will continue to be financially responsible for all tuition and fees.
D. Withdraw/ Withdrawal from Courses
A student may withdraw from a class after the final drop date through the 12th week of a 15 week session or the equivalent date in a shorter session. When a student withdraws an entry of W signifying withdrawal is entered into their record. To withdraw, a student must submit a Credit Registration • Add • Drop Form at the Records and Registration office, e-mail the form to records@aacc.edu, or drop the course through MyAACC. If these methods of withdrawal are not feasible due to extraordinary circumstances, contact the Records and Registration office to request an oral withdrawal request be considered.
After the final withdrawal date and through the last day of classes, as specified in the academic calendar, students may make a request to withdraw from the college or from individual courses by consulting with an academic advisor in the Advising & Transfer Advising office, obtaining an advisor’s signature on a late withdrawal form, and filing the late withdrawal form at the Records and Registration office. Students who are passing on the date of the withdrawal will be assigned a grade indicator of WP (withdraw passing) on their permanent record. Students who are failing on the date of the withdrawal will receive a grade of F.
Students who have withdrawn and received a grade of F may petition the Committee on Academic Standards (see Petitions to Committee on Academic Standards ) to authorize the instructor to change the grade of F to WF (withdraw failing). Such students must provide verification to the committee that they could not complete the course for one of the following reasons:
- Death in immediate family.
- Student incapacitated due to serious illness.
- Change in hours or location of employment.
- Uncontrollable circumstances of a serious nature.
Students who have more than 10 entries of W, WP and WF may be required to meet with an academic advisor to review their educational plan before their next registration.
Students receiving financial aid should consult the Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy before withdrawing from any courses.
