Schedule Adjustments

• Students auditing a course must meet the same course prerequisite and attendance standards as all other students in the course. Auditing a course will not meet the prerequisite of any sequential or higher-level course and cannot be used toward any certificate, diploma, or degree requirements. Physical Education classes may not be audited. • Auditing is subject to open seats in the course. A student who audits a course shall not displace other students seeking to enroll in the course. • 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.

Adding a Class

A student may add a class to their schedule in Self-Service or by visiting any Info Desk (K. Ray Bailey Student Services Center or A-B Tech Madison Office). 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 Info Desk (K. Ray Bailey Student Services Center or A-B Tech Madison Office).
