Adding a Class:
Open classes may be added to your schedule prior to the start of the semester. You may add semester length classes for the first two weeks of the Fall semester (until September 5, 2009 for Fall classes), with permission from the instructor. To add a class, attend the first class meeting. If space is available, ask the instructor for an Add Authorization Code. Login to http://pipeline.sbcc.edu and go to Registration and Student Records. On the Add/Drop Classes page input the CRN (Course Reference Number) of the class you wish to register for, click on "submit changes". Enter the Add Authorization Code and click "verify" to continue. Submit your changes, review your schedule and pay fees.

To add an online class after the semester has started, contact the instructor for an Add Authorization Code and follow the instructions outlined above.

Instructor permission is not required to register in an open short course before the starting date of the course. After the start date, request an Add Authorization Code from the instructor and follow the instructions above before 20% of the course has been completed.

Dropping a Class:
As the student, you are responsible for dropping classes by the stated deadlines. If you register in a class and later change your mind, it is your responsibility to drop the class. Review your Schedule/Bill for course deadlines. Login to http://pipeline.sbcc.edu and go to Registration and Student Records. Follow the instructions on the Add/Drop Classes page for dropping a class.

Dropping with Eligibility for Enrollment Fee and Tuition Refund:
The deadline to drop with eligibility for a refund of enrollment and non-resident tuition for most Fall full semester length classes is September 5,2009. Short courses must be dropped before 10% of the course has been completed to be eligible for an enrollment/tuition refund. Review your Schedule/Bill for your course deadlines.

Dropping without a "W": The deadline to drop a class without record (without a "W" notation) for most Fall full semester length classes is September 5, 2009. Short courses must be dropped before 20% of the course has been completed to be eligible for a drop without "W". For some very short courses, 20% of the course may be the first day of class. Review your Schedule/Bill for your course deadlines.

Withdrawal from Class(es):
The last day to withdraw from most Fall 2009 full semester length classes is September 5, 2009. Students who withdraw from a full semester length class after September 5, 2009 and by October 23, 2009 will have a withdrawal notation ("W") for that class on their academic record. Short courses must be withdrawn from before 60% of the course has been completed. Review your Schedule/Bill for your course deadlines.

Students registered in a semester length class after the Final Withdrawal date must receive an evaluative grade (A, B, C, D, F, Pass, No Pass) or Incomplete (I) for the class. Students registered in short courses after the day that 60% of the course has been completed must receive an evaluative grade.

Pass/No Pass Grading:
Petitions may be obtained from Admissions & Records or from your instructor and must be returned with the approval signature from your instructor, no later than the first week of Summer classes and no later than the fifth week for Fall classes. Pass/No Pass grading is not permitted within a student's major.

ATTEND CLASSES

Students are expected to attend classes regularly. A student who does not attend the first meeting of a class may be dropped as a "no show". An instructor may drop students at any time for excessive absences. As a guideline, absence is considered excessive if a student misses three class meetings, or the equivalent of one week of class.

If you decide to drop a class, it is your responsibility to officially withdraw by the deadline.

Non-attendance does not constitute an official drop. Do not depend on the instructor to drop you. Failure to officially withdraw by the deadline may result in a failing grade.
