I. Purpose

Central Piedmont Community College is a learning-centered College committed to student success.  For this reason, this regulation does not allow students to register for a class after the class has begun unless the reason for registering late is caused by an action of the College or is due to extenuating circumstances.  Authorized College personnel may grant exceptions and may give permission for late registration as specified by these regulations.

II.  Regulations

A. Schedule Adjustment During Registration

During registration periods, students may drop classes and may add classes that are not filled.

B. Schedule Adjustment After Classes Begin

A schedule adjustment period begins with the first class day of the term. During this designated period, permission from the instructor is required for a student to enroll in any class that has begun.

C. After the Schedule Adjustment Period

Permission from the instructor and division director is required to enroll in any class that has begun.

D.  After the 10% Class Census Date

Permission from the instructor, the division director, and the dean is required to enroll in any class that has begun.  Documented extenuating circumstances must be presented before an exception is considered.

E.  Classes dropped on or before the 10% census date of the class do not appear on a student's official transcript.  Classes dropped after the 10% census date are indicated on a student's transcript with a W (withdrawal).

F. Refunds

The student may be entitled to a refund of tuition for schedule adjustments. Refund policies are established by the North Carolina Community College System and are subject to change. Refund policies are published in the Class Schedule.
