It is not the responsibility of the instructor to drop a student.  The student must officially drop classes in which s/he no longer wishes to be enrolled.  Please check for the final date(s) to drop on MyPortal to ensure that you have been removed from the course before the last date to drop with a refund or the last day to drop with a "W".

Adding a Class with an Add Code

For regular 12-week courses, the add period is the first two weeks of the quarter.  Add codes will not work prior to the first day of the class.  Add codes are required after the first day of class (or after the first day of the quarter for online courses) in order to register.  In addition, some courses require completion of prerequisite classes and some are only open to students already approved for special programs.  See Class Schedule for class dates.

Students can add classes once school starts by:

• Attending the first day of the class and
• Receiving an Add Code from the instructor if there is room in the class

1. Click on the Student Registration Tile found in the Student Channel, in MyPortal, click on Add or Drop Classes under Registration Tools.
2. Select the college and term from the drop-down menu and click the Submit button.

  Changing Grading Options

Students may select the Pass/No Pass option instead of a letter grade (A, B, C, etc), as long as s/he makes the change no later than the Friday of the fourth week of the term.  For courses shorter than 12 weeks, it is the third week of the term.  Timing determines how this change is made:

• Before the first day of the class:  Use the Student Registration Tile on MyPortal and select Change Grade Options (Pass/No Pass).
• Once the class starts:  You will need to download, fill out and print the Pass/No Pass form.  You will not be able to save the completed form.  Print it once you filled it out.  Then sign it and deliver it to Admissions and Records to request the change.

There are a few things you should consider before selecting Pass/No Pass as a grading option:

• Once a student has selected the Pass/No Pass option, the resulting grade will be final.
• Some courses are designed as P/NP courses.  A letter grade is not available in these courses.
• Students selecting the P/NP option must complete all course work and attendance requirements assigned by the instructor.
• Check with you college as to the number of allowable units that may be taken P/NP and can be applied toward an AA or AS degree.
• No "P" grades may be applied toward a major or English and Math courses used to fulfill General Education transfer requirements.
• If you plan to transfer, some four-year institutions require a letter grade for transfer.  Check with counseling or the four-year institution requirements prior to choosing P/NP.
