Adding / Dropping Classes

Adding Classes

Before the semester begins, students can register for classes
via phone, online, or in-person and can add as many classes
as needed. If a class is closed but there is a waitlist, students
may be automatically registered when space becomes
available.
After the semester begins, students will only be allowed to add
with faculty approval. Students who have not yet registered
are asked to attend class, and if space is available will be
added in the following manner:

  • Add Codes – faculty will issue an add code that students will use to register (by phone only).
  • Students cannot be added to courses if:

  • They do not meet the prerequisite.
  • They have already completed the course, unless it is
  • repeatable. See listing of courses under Repeating
    Classes.
  • They have a time conflict; for more information see Class
    Conflicts under Attendance.
  • They do not have a current application on file.
  • They have a hold for academic standing or fees owed.
  • They do not have high school approval (R-40).
  • They are already enrolled in 18 units.
  • More than 20% of the semester has elapsed.
  • Students may not remain in classes for which they are not
    enrolled; SJECCD does not permit auditing.

    Dropping Classes

    As a student, it is your responsibility to drop your courses. It is not your instructors responsibility to drop you from your courses.

    A student may drop a class by using Sta-Reg or MyWeb. Students may also drop classes in person in the Admissions Office. The following rules apply to dropping a class:

  1. No "W" (withdrawal) or record of the course will reflect on the student's permanent record if:

the student drops the course from the college by the published deadlines in the Schedule of Classes.

  1. A "W" notation -- Withdrawal -- will be assigned if:

the student drops the course between the 5th and 15th week of the regular semester (or 75% of the term, whichever is less). Refer to the Schedule of Classes for specific dates.

  1. Students who fail to officially drop a course, may receive a notation other than "W" on their permanent record.

Total Withdrawal From College

Students who wish to withdraw from all classes during the semester may use Sta-Reg or MyWeb to drop all classes. Failure to withdraw properly may result in the assignment of unsatisfactory grades in those courses. (See above for drop instructions)

Students who drop courses past the drop deadline, and who have balances due, will still be responsible for that debt. Students who do not pay all fees will be unable to register for subsequent terms or receive their grades.
