Add Policy

Students are allowed to add classes up to and including the seventh (7th) calendar day of the semester (prorated for alternative semester lengths -see chart below), if space is available. Students who add classes are subject to the full attendance policy and are held responsible for all course materials and assignments. Before adding a class students should consult with the instructor to determine the extent of make-up work necessary for success in the class. A course may be added after the seventh (7th) calendar day of the semester (prorated for alternative semester lengths, see chart below) only with the permission of the instructor*.

Alternative Semester Chart (If Day 2, 3, 4, 5, or 7 falls on a weekend or holiday, then that day will be the first business day following the weekend or holiday.)

Example: If class started on Thursday, but the semester started on Monday, then Day 1 is that Monday, not Thursday.

Exceptions to Add Policy

• 100% online classes: If the semester/class has started, a student may add a 100% online class only with the permission of the instructor* (and advisor if matriculated).
• Lab Classes: If the semester has started, a student may add a class with a lab component only if the first class has not been missed. Once the first class has been missed, the student may add only with the permission of the instructor* (and advisor if matriculated). Examples of lab classes are, but not limited to: lab science, computer technologies, information systems technology and drawing. Final decisions of what is considered a lab class rest with Academic Affairs.

*The program chair or program coordinator may sign the add form if the instructor is unavailable.
