Drop/Add Period
The drop/add period for changing student course schedules is designated and announced each semester.
Alert:
Beginning with the first day of classes, students wishing to drop and add classes must do so simultaneously (same session) to avoid a 25 percent administrative tuition charge.
Examples:
- A student drops ENG 111 for 3 credits and adds PSY 150 for 3 credits during the same session. The student will have an “even” exchange for tuition charges.
- A different student drops ENG 111 for 3 credits on the first day of classes. The student changes his mind, returns five minutes later and adds the same or another class. The student would be given a 75 percent refund for the dropped ENG 111 class and then charged 100 percent for the added class, resulting in an additional 25 percent charge, even though maintaining the same credit hours.
Course Withdrawals After the Drop/Add Period
Each semester, a drop/add period for enrolled students to change their schedules begins on the first day of class and extends for a designated period of time. A 75 percent tuition refund will be awarded through the 10 percent point of the course. If a student drops a course during the last 20 percent of the semester, the final grade will reflect the earned numerical average of his/her work in the course. Students who have formally dropped a course may not continue attending those classes. Note: An instructor may drop a student from a course for excessive absences (see Attendance Policy ).
Procedures: Students may obtain a Drop-Add Form from the Student Forms link in Self-Service under Student Planning. Students should complete the student portions of the form and then send this form to the instructor for each course that they wish to drop for them to electronically sign the drop form and record the appropriate grade. Students should then email the completed form to dropadd@alamancecc.edu.
Alternatively, students may reach out to their instructor directly by email to request to drop the course in writing. The instructor will then fill out the drop form on behalf of the student and email it to dropadd@alamancecc.edu. The student’s email request will serve as the student’s “signature” on the drop form.
Failure to follow this procedure may result in a grade of “F” for courses that the student stops attending. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the drop form is completed.
