South Seattle Community College: Adding or Dropping a Class

Adding and/or Dropping Classes

Adding Classes

After you register, you may add courses on a space available basis with an Add/Drop Form. Add/Drop Forms can be picked up in the Registration Office at the front desk. (Office hours and location.)
Classes may be added during the first two weeks of the quarter. An instructor's signature is required to add a class during the second week of the quarter.
An instructor's signature is also required to overload into a full class or to add into an enroll-with-permission-only class.

Dropping Classes
(Refer to the Withdrawal and Status Change Deadlines schedule for specific dates.)

You may drop classes through the 8th week of Fall, Winter and Spring Quarters. Classes may be dropped through the 6th week of Summer Quarter.
You may drop a class during the first two weeks of the quarter and no record of the class will appear on your transcript. You do not need an instructor's signature to drop a class during this time.
From the 3rd week through the 8th week of each quarter (6th week in Summer Quarter) you may drop a class with your instructor's signature on the Add/Drop Form.
A "W" (Official Withdrawal) will appear on your transcript when you drop a class after the first two weeks of the quarter. A "W" does not affect your grade point average. After a "W" is received, you may repeat the course only one time.
NOTE: You cannot officially drop a class by informing the instructor you are withdrawing or by not attending the class. An Add/Drop Form must be processed through the Registration Office and Cashier's Office (if applicable) before your course withdrawal is considered "official." If you do not officially drop a course, your instructor may give you a failing grade in that class.
