Open Classes

Students who have been officially admitted to Crafton Hills College are eligible to enroll in any class for which they meet either the prerequisites or corequisites or both. Of course, only so many persons can fit into classrooms and laboratories, so class sizes are limited and enrollment is on a priority basis.

Adding Courses

Students may add courses during the first two weeks for a full-term course, or the first 10% of a short-term course. After the add period concludes, students may add a course only with the instructor’s permission and through a petition approved by the Dean of Student Services and Student Development or designee. (SBCCD Administrative Procedure 5080)

Dropping Courses

Students may drop courses during the first three weeks or 20% of a term, whichever is less, and there shall be no notation on their permanent academic record.

Students may withdraw from courses between the end of the fourth week and the last day of the eleventh week or 60% of a term, whichever is less, and a “W” shall be a recorded on their permanent academic record. Failure of the student to officially withdraw from a registered course may result in responsibility for enrollment fee payments for the class and/or receipt of an “F” grade. (SBCCD Administrative Procedure 4233, 5080)

Withdrawal from a course(s) may be approved in extenuating circumstances after the last day of the 11th week or 60% of a term through a petition approved by the Dean of Student Services and Student Development or designee. Extenuating circumstances are defined as verified cases of illness, accident, unforseen job shift change, job assignment outside the attendance area, extreme weather conditions, or other circumstances beyond the control of the student. (SBCCD Administrative Procedure 4233)

Instruction Initiated Drops

Instructors shall drop students due to inactive enrollment no later than the end of the last business day before the census day for all students who have been identified as no shows, or students who are no longer attending the course.

An instructor may drop a student from a class for excessive absences. Reinstatement is the prerogative of the instructor but must occur prior to the last day to add. Students who are dropped by instructors during the first three weeks or 20% of a term, whichever is less, shall have no notation made on

their permanent academic record. Students who are withdrawn by instructors between the end of the third week and the last day of the eleventh week or 60% of a term, whichever is less, shall have a “W” posted on their permanent academic record. (SBCCD Administrative Procedure 4233, 5080)
