Dropping/Adding/Withdrawing Classes

• A student may drop or add a class or classes by completing the appropriate class registration change form available from the Office of Student Records.
• A student may add a class or classes through the fifth business day of the term.  A business day is considered to be any day that the Office of Student Records, (OSR), is open. A student registering for a class after its first meeting will need instructor or dean/director approval.
• A student may register for a flexibly scheduled class up until the first meeting of the class
• A student may drop a class or classes through the tenth business day before the end of the term.
• A student dropping a class or classes is subject to the following transcript indication:
• No indication of course registration is recorded on the student’s transcript when the student drops on or before the fifteenth calendar day of the term.
• After the fifteenth calendar day of the term and thereafter through the tenth business day before the end of the term the student will receive a “W” on his or her transcript.
• In the case of a student’s death prior to the tenth business day before the end of the term, the student will receive a “W” on his or her sealed transcript.  If a student dies after the tenth business day before the end of the term, the student will receive the grade he or she was earning.
• A “W” is recorded on the student’s transcript; however, it has no effect on the student’s computed grade point average
• After the tenth business day before the end of the term no drop forms will be accepted.
• All dates are determined by the day the form is postmarked or received in the Office of Student Records. 

Procedures:

• A student dropping a class or classes on or before the fifteenth calendar day of the term needs to sign a log book in the OSR. If the student calls to drop a class, they will be asked to send an e-mail to the OSR using the MTC e-mail system stating the class or classes to drop.
• A student dropping a class or classes after the fifteenth calendar day of the term must complete an add/drop form in the OSR. The completed form is signed and dated by the student and acknowledged by a College representative.  The student is given his or her copy.
• The Office of Student Records retains a copy of all forms and distributes other copies to the instructor.
