If after completing your class registration you want to change to another section (you must officially drop the old section), add another course, or drop a class, you must complete a Course Change Form, available at all campus or center offices, academic advisers or the Records and Registration Office. NPC highly recommends you see an academic adviser to ensure your educational goals are met.
Adding a Course
Anytime a course you wish to add is full, you will need both the instructor’s and dean’s approval to add the class.
Fall and Spring Semesters: From the first day through the end of the first week of regular classes, students do not need permission to add open courses. Anytime during the second week of classes, the instructor’s signature is needed to add an open course. To add an open course on or after the third week of classes, signatures are required from both the instructor and the dean.
Eight-Week and Summer Sessions: To add a course on the second day of the session, the instructor’s permission is required. Beginning the second week of the session, both instructor and dean’s permission is required.
Short Term Classes (less than 8 weeks): To add a course on the second day, instructor’s permission is required. Beginning the third day, both instructor and dean permission is required.
Dropping a Course
When dropping a course after the first week of Fall, Spring, Summer or other eight-week sessions, instructor permission and a Last Day of Attendance (LDA) are required. See “Last Day to withdraw without ‘W’ on Transcript” on the “Academic Calendar” on Academic Calendar . For refund information, refer to Refunds.
Withdrawing from a Course
Before withdrawing from a class, you should speak with your instructor. If you feel overwhelmed by class work, don’t wait until you fall too far behind and there are fewer options available. NPC staff members want you to succeed and will work with you to arrange tutoring or other assistance.
To avoid having a “W” (withdrawal) on your transcript, you need to complete the withdrawal process BEFORE the Withdrawal Deadline, usually the second week of the semester, or the first week of an eight-week or summer session, or after the first day of a short-term class (less than eight weeks). It is the STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW FROM CLASS IF THEY ARE NO LONGER ATTENDING CLASS. Not doing so may result in getting a failing grade for the class. Your Last Date of Attendance (LDA) must be noted on your withdrawal form. An NPC academic adviser can help you.
