Students who audit a course and withdraw will be issued a grade of “W”. Audited courses that are dropped prior to the 10% point of the course will not receive a grade nor appear on the student’s transcript. Students choosing to audit a course must submit a Request for an Audit Grade form to the Records and Registration Office within the first 15 weekdays of the term for a 16-week class or an equivalent percentage for courses taught on a minimester schedule. The instructor must sign the form to approve the change to audit status. Students seeking to change from audit to credit status must contact the Records and Registration Office during the first five weekdays of the term for a 16-week class or an equivalent percentage for courses taught on a minimester schedule. Approval for changes from audit to credit status will be determined by the Registrar on a case-by-case basis. Students 65 years or older who are seeking to have the tuition waived for an audited course must request the tuition waiver to the Records and Registration Office at the time when the Request for an Audit Grade form is submitted.
Schedule Adjustments Dropping, withdrawing, or adding classes can change your enrollment status. Please check with the Financial Aid Office if you make schedule adjustments to see how your financial aid could be impacted. Adding a Class A student may add a class to their schedule in Self-Service or by visiting any registration center (K. Ray Bailey Student Services Center, Madison Site Office or the A-B Tech South Site). For classes 14 weeks or longer, students may add the class up to 48 hours after the start of the first class meeting. For fully online classes that are 14 weeks or longer, students may add the class up to 48 hours after the class’s start date. For classes shorter than 14 weeks, students may add the class until the class meets for the first time. For fully online classes that are shorter than 14 weeks, students may add the class through the end of the start date for the class. Dropping a Class In order to officially drop from a course without academic penalty, the student must follow official College drop procedures by the drop deadline for the class. The student may drop classes through the first 10% point of each class. Specific dates can be provided by the Student Records and Registration Office. A class may be dropped in one of the following ways: 1.
Students may drop a course through Self-Service. Distance students may receive assistance from the Distance Advisor.
2.
By visiting any registration center (K. Ray Bailey Student Services Center, A-B Tech Madison Office or the A-B Tech South).
3.
By having the program advisor or Academic Advisor process the drop.
Students are responsible for ensuring drops have been processed. In the case of drops, the course(s) will not be included on the transcript.
