REGISTRATION ERRORS

It is the student's responsibility to complete the proper forms and procedures for registration or changes to registration and to verify that his or her schedule of classes is correct.

The Registrar's Office cannot be held responsible for errors resulting from the student's failure to execute the proper procedure or verify his or her schedule. Any problems experienced at registration or a result of registration should be reported immediately to the Registrar. The college is committed to assisting each student with the advisement and registration process.

MATRICULATION

Registration is not complete until fees are paid. Students will be dropped from the courses for which they have attempted to register if fees are not paid before the first day of class.

FULL-TIME STUDENT STATUS

A student must be registered for a minimum of 12 quarter credit hours to be considered a full-time student.

MAXIMUM HOURS

Students may register for a maximum of 21 credit hours per quarter. A student who registers for more than the maximum credit hours must obtain special approval from the Dean of Instruction for the program area in which they are enrolled.

ADDING COURSES

Through the period defined as Drop/Add, a student may add a course to an already existing schedule.

To add a course, a student must obtain approval from their program advisor.

Students who add a course may owe additional tuition and fees.

DROPPING COURSES

The College provides a three day No Harm, No Foul drop period for all students. Students who withdraw from courses by the end of the third instructional day of the quarter will receive no grade for the course and will receive a 100% refund of applicable tuition and fees.

NOTE: This deadline is strictly enforced.

Drop/Add Procedures

Students wishing to drop a class during the first three days of the quarter or add a class during the add period, must see their advisor. The advisor will enter the changes or allow the student to enter changes through Bannerweb with their registration access number after advisement.

Withdrawal Policy

A student may withdraw from one or more courses after the drop period through the end of the last day of the quarter. A student dropping a course after the third day of the quarter, but by the midpoint of the quarter, will receive a grade of “W”. A student who drops after the midpoint day of the quarter will be assigned a “WP” or “WF” based on competencies completed up the point of withdrawal. A grade of “WF” is calculated in the grade point average. Students receiving financial aid should be aware that a withdrawal may affect their financial aid.

Withdrawal Procedures

To withdraw from a course, a student must first speak to their instructor. They must also complete the appropriate paperwork with the Office of Student Affairs immediately, but no later than the close of business on the last day of the quarter.

NOTE: Students who stop attending a class but who do not complete a Withdrawal Form and submit it to the Office for Student Affairs in the required manner will be withdrawn by the instructor after 10% of instructional time is missed.

ATTENDANCE POLICY

It is essential that educational programs meet requirements and standards necessary for successful employment in business and industry. In view of the intensive nature of educational programs, it is necessary for every student to be present and on time every day for all classes as is required in the work environment. Attendance is also reflected in a work ethics grade which is recorded on a student's transcript. Employers seeking references on students for employment purposes frequently request attendance information. For specific policy governing attendance, please see Southeastern Technical College Attendance in the Code of Conduct section of this catalog.

AUDITING A COURSE

A student who wishes to audit a course(s) and receive no credit may apply as a special student if not already enrolled as a regular student. Exceptions to this policy are: clinical courses, certain laboratory courses, and supervised work experience. Students auditing courses are not required to take exams; however, the instructor may request that students demonstrate required knowledge before being allowed to perform certain tasks to operate equipment. Courses taken on an audit basis are not eligible for financial aid. A student who audits a course, must pay regular tuition and fees as listed in the tuition and fees section of the catalog. A student is not permitted to change from audit to credit after the drop/add period. However, a student will be permitted to register for the course at a later date and receive credit. Students desiring to change from audit to credit must meet all necessary requirements. A grade of "AU" will be entered on the permanent record. Courses taken on an audit basis will not be used for certification for financial aid, the President's List, Social Security, or Veteran's Administration education benefits. To audit a class, students should contact the Registrar.
