How do I add/drop and withdraw from courses?

Adding/dropping courses:

• You can add or drop a course during the first five days of the spring and fall term. You may add courses through the first three days of the summer term space permitting, however, a faculty signature is required to add after the first day of the term.
• You may add courses without an instructor's signature through the first three days of spring/fall semester only if there are seats available. After the third day of spring/fall semester, you must have the instructor’s signature to add a regular-start course at the Records Office. Instructor’s signatures are required after the first day of class for summer term.
• You may add late-starting courses before the class begins without instructor approval. 
• Full refunds are only available prior to the term start or during the five-day drop period each term, except as specified in the Refund Policy.
• Late adds will be processed only with the approval of the instructor and the respective Academic Dean. 

Withdrawing from courses:

• Course withdrawals (“W” grades) begin on the sixth day of the term, unless noted otherwise in the course schedule.
• You may qualify for a refund only if you withdraw from all classes. (see Refund Policy for details)
• You should withdraw after you stop attending a course or you will likely receive a grade of "F".
• If you withdraw after 20 days, you can visit until final exam week with the instructor's approval. Withdrawals do not influence GPA, but negatively impact academic progress. (See Chapter 4, Standards of Academic Progress in the college catalog).
• There are three ways you can add, drop, and withdraw with your student ID and PIN/Password:
  • Login to the e-Services website
  • In-person at the Records Office
  • Written request with your signature by U.S. mail (No email or fax requests!)

Telephone messages or email requests for Records Office Staff are not considered valid processing methods.

Reminder: There is no refund for partial withdrawal. You must withdraw from all classes to receive a pro-rated refund based on the withdraw schedule. You are required to pay tuition and fees unless you drop classes by the deadline. Century College will not drop courses for non-attendance.
