adding & dropping classes

 

Program Changes

You must present your validated Registration/Fee Receipt when making changes to your program.  For the Spring semester, changes may be made from  February 10 to February 21.  See the College Calendar (inside front cover) for important dates.  It is your responsibility to assure that you follow all procedures for making changes to your program.

 

Standby List

When you elect to be placed on STANDBY for any class that is closed, you are not enrolled in that class.

 

You must obtain an “Add Permit” from the instructor on the first day the class meets.   Take it to the registration area for processing immediately. Your name will be called from the “Standby Roster” in numerical order.

 

To Add a Class

You must file an application before you can register for classes. If you do not enroll in a class during the registration period, you can enroll with an “Add Permit” issued by the instructor of the class you wish to attend or by checking the College “Add Card Center” during the first two weeks of the semester.  Check the College Calendar inside the front cover of this schedule of classes for important dates.

To add a section not listed, you must request an “Add Permit” from the instructor on the first day the class meets.  If students can be added, the instructor will issue you an “Add Permit.”  (Beginning with the third week of the semester, instructors are the only ones who can add students to their classes.) 

To receive an Add Permit, you must present one of the forms listed below. It is your responsibility to submit the “Add Permit” and one of the forms to the Registration Area during registration period.

     •       Current Registration/Fee Receipt

     •       Appointment to Register Card

     •       Late Registration Card

Your instructor will not allow you to remain in the class unless you are officially registered in the class.

 

To Drop a Class

Use STEP to drop a class or classes you no longer plan to attend (be sure to listen for the confirmation); or obtain a Drop Card and complete the required information.  Submit the card to Admissions (AD 100) by the drop deadline.  Drop Cards are available in the Registration Area during the late registration period and in the Admissions Office after that time.  Check the College calendar inside the front cover of this schedule for important dates.

PLEASE NOTE:  It is the student’s responsibility to drop a class no longer being attended.  Failure to drop a class in a timely manner may result in a “W” or an “F” on your academic record.  You may be held accountable for payment of all fees whether you attend or do not attend class.

 

To Withdraw

If you wish to drop ALL classes in which you are enrolled, you are “withdrawing” from Los Angeles City College.  To withdraw, obtain a Drop/Withdrawal Card in the Admissions Office (AD 100) or at the Student Assistance Center (AD 105), and submit the card to the Admissions Office or use STEP (make sure to note the confirmation).  It is the student’s responsibility to drop the classes and withdraw from the college.
