How to return your textbooks:

2. Complete the form found here and mail us your textbooks
3. Drop your books in the Drop Box next to the curb outside the Main Entrance (W1) on West Campus

When a class is full, you have the option to add yourself to its waitlist to be notified if a seat becomes available. The waitlist is shut off the night before the first day of the semester. Waitlisting is not available for late-start courses.

If you want to register for more than 18 credits, you will need to complete an Exceed Maximum 18 Credit Limit Appeal form for approval by the Registrar.

Adding a Course(s)

Courses may be added during the first 5 days of spring and fall semesters (an instructor’s signature is required after the third day) and the first 3 days of the summer session (an instructor’s signature is required on the Add/Drop/Withdraw form once the class has started). You are required to pay all tuition and fees for any registered courses.

Adding Courses Throughout the Semester

You may add courses that start later in the semester (such as courses in Session II or III) before the course begins without instructor approval. After a class has already started, late adds will be processed only with the approval/signatures of the instructor on the Add/Drop/Withdraw form.

Dropping a Course(s)

You may drop a course during the first 5 days of the fall, spring, and summer semesters. Full refunds are only available prior to the term start or during the five-day drop period each term for courses starting the first week, except as specified in the Refund Policy. You may drop a late start/fast track course only through the day after the first scheduled class day to receive a full refund.

Withdrawing from a Course(s)

Course withdrawals (“W” grades) begin on the sixth day of the term unless noted otherwise in the course schedule. For late start/fast-track courses, withdrawals begin two days after the first scheduled date. The last day to withdraw date varies; it displays on students’ online schedules and on the course search details. See the Refund Policy for details.

Classes that you have withdrawn from become part of your permanent record and will appear on your transcript.

*Instructor’s signatures are not required within the withdrawal deadline.

• You should withdraw after you stop attending a course or you will likely receive a grade of “F” or “FW” (faculty withdrawal).
• If you withdraw after 20 days, you can visit until the final exam week with the instructor’s approval.
• Withdrawals do not influence GPA but negatively impact academic progress.

If extenuating circumstances prevent you from withdrawing by the deadline, you may fill out a Late Withdrawal Petition form in the Business Office, Room 2340, West Campus, or Records Office, Room 2220, West Campus. Additional documentation may be required.

Important: There are four ways you can add, drop or withdraw from a course:

• Login to the eServices
• In-person at the Records Office with your StarID or student ID
• A written request with your signature by U.S. mail received prior to the deadline.
• Fill out the Add/Drop/Withdraw form online and email the form to records@century.edu from your Century email.

Please note: A telephone message request is not considered a valid processing method.

Since withdrawing from a class can impact your academic progress, we recommend that you consult with a Century College advisor/counselor before you make your final decision. Poor academic progress may lead to academic probation and eventually suspension. It may also impact your financial aid. Please familiarize yourself with the Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid.

You are required to pay tuition and fees unless you drop classes by the deadline. Century College will not drop courses for non-attendance. Faculty withdrawal or FN (faculty reported never attended) grades are not eligible for refunds. See the Refund Policy for details.

Senior Citizens must be:

• 62 years or older
• a legal resident of Minnesota

If you register before the first day of class, you must pay full tuition and fees. If you register for credit the day on or after the first day of class, you will be charged fees per credit with no tuition charges. Senior Citizens auditing a course will be charged reduced fees per credit. If applicable, students will be responsible for any special course fees.
