Students are responsible for adding and dropping their own classes and should follow the procedures below. No extra charge is made for adding or dropping classes. For more information, see Office of the Registrar and Academic Records Policies and Procedures.

Adds

Classes may be added during the scheduled registration periods. Students hoping to add a class that is closed are encouraged to continue viewing seat availability through the MySLCC student portal. The waitlist option is available to students registering for a closed class.

Drops

Classes may be dropped until the published drop deadline. Students dropping classes by the published deadline will receive a refund or adjustment of tuition. Dropped classes do not show on the student’s transcript.

Withdrawals

Students may withdraw from classes within the first 60% of a term. See published deadlines published in the Academic Calendar. Withdrawal from class will be shown as a 'W' on the transcript but will not be calculated in the grade point average. No tuition refund or adjustment will be made for withdrawals. Exceptions to the withdrawal policy may be made under extenuating circumstances. Please see Registration Appeals for more information.

Failure to drop/withdraw

Students should not assume classes are automatically dropped for non-attendance or nonpayment. Students are responsible for dropping or withdrawing from classes they are not attending, or do not intend to complete in the current semester. Students who stop attending a course without completing the formal drop or withdrawal procedures by the published deadlines will be responsible for all tuition and fees associated with the course.

Waitlist

Students registering for a closed class with a waitlist option will be offered the opportunity to be put on a Waitlist. Prerequisites must be met and class schedules must be free of time conflicts. Students on the Waitlist are not officially registered in the class. Waitlist status may be viewed on the MySLCC Student Portal.

When a registered student drops a seat in a closed class, the first students on the Waitlist will be notified through the SLCC BruinMail. (Caution: If the BruinMail is forwarded to another email account, the waitlist notification may be blocked by your carrier. It is therefore advised to not forward the SLCC BruinMail.) Once notified by email that a seat is available, the waitlisted student has 24 hours to register for the course. If registration is not finalized within the 24-hour period, the waitlisted student is dropped from the Waitlist, and the next waitlisted student is notified by email that a seat is available.  Students are offered an open seat based on their waitlist position.

For more information you can visit, the Office of the Registrar and Academic Records website or the Faculty Teaching and Learning Center website and view the faculty video tutorials.

Administrative Drops for Non-Attendance

During the designated drop period, faculty are strongly encouraged to administratively drop students for nonattendance.

Dropping students for non-attendance will open class seats for other students during the add/waitlist period. Also, it removes the issue of faculty having to submit a failing grade at the end of the semester for students who never attend as SLCC (Salt Lake Community College) does not have an unofficial withdrawal process.

In addition, students who never attend class and receive a failing grade experience stern financial and academic consequences, which can be detrimental to the overall student success and progression. The College Registrar and Financial Aid Director recommend all faculty drop students for non-attendance.

DROP GUIDELINES:

Students who do not attend class or do not contact the class Instructor by the second class meeting (or first class meeting for classes that meet once per week), may be administratively dropped by the instructor.

For online classes, students who do not log in within the first five days or who do not complete required coursework during that time may be administratively dropped by the instructor.

DROP INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Log into MySLCC
2. Go to Faculty Classroom Management card
3. Select Faculty Services
4. Select Drop Roster
5. Locate section
6. Change the Action from ‘None’ to ‘Faculty Administrative Drop’
7. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click 'Submit'

Online Administrative drop process on the Faculty Portal should only be submitted through the published DROP deadline as listed on the Student Academic Calendar.

Attendance

To maximize registration opportunities for all students, students are required to attend the first class meeting of any regularly scheduled class that meets once per week or at least one of the first two class meetings of any regularly scheduled class that meets more than once per week. Students who are unable to attend the initial class meeting(s) as required must inform the instructor or department office, preferably in writing, that they intend to attend subsequent meetings and do not want to be dropped.

Students who fail to attend initial class meeting(s) as required and who fail to contact the instructor in advance of the absence may be dropped from the course by the instructor. Students are required to log into online classes within the first five days of the term.

Class accessibility begins on the first day of each term. Students are expected to access online classes the first day. Students must log into online classes within the first five days of the term or may be dropped to make space for other students. Students may be dropped for non-attendance by the Instructor, although it is ultimately the responsibility of the student to drop class(es) not attended.

The Student Advisor Profile allows students to have an overall view of their academic information, and Advisors and Faculty Advisors to see a similar view of the academic information for their advisees, or potential advisees. The types of information available are:

The Incomplete Grade Contract may be requested by students who cannot continue in class because of extenuating circumstances beyond their control (such as serious illness, death in the family, or change of employment) with proper documentation. The following are some of the guidelines to be followed:

• The student must be passing the course at the time of the Incomplete grade request.
• A substantial portion of a course must be completed before an Incomplete is given. A substantial portion of a course is generally defined as 70%; however, the final decision is based on the instructor's discretion.
• The student must submit an Incomplete Grade Contract request form via MySLCC > Student Form Card>Incomplete Grade Contract Form.
• The student does not re-register for the class, students should work directly with the instructor to complete the contract.
• The student who fails to fulfill the contract by the determined completion date or within one year of when the Incomplete was received will (a) have their 'I' grade changed to the grade of 'E' (failing), and (b) be required to retake the class in order to receive credit.
• Faculty must submit a grade change request (MySLCC > Faculty Classroom Management > Faculty Grade Change) when the student has completed the requirements of the course.

Incomplete Grade Contract instructions and steps

1. The student must submit an Incomplete Grade Contract request form via MySLCC > Student Form Card>Incomplete Grade Contract Form. Send supporting documentation for the extenuating circumstance directly to instructor/academic department.
2. Instructors will receive an email notification of the request, or they can check the Faculty Forms card under Incomplete Grade Contracts.
3. Instructors will review the contract request to approve or deny. If approved, they will list the remaining coursework for completion and set a deadline for the course work to be finished.

   • 

     • Suggested time period is six months, however the time may not exceed one year from the end of the requested term.
4. Student is notified via email that the instructor has approved their request and instructions for the remaining coursework and time limits for completion. They will accept or deny the terms of the Incomplete Grade Contract.
5. Signed requests by both student and instructor will then be sent to the Office of the Registrar for Processing. A copy of the contract will be sent via to student, instructor, and academic department.
   • One month prior to the time limit date, a reminder will be sent to both student and instructor.
   • If the student fails to fulfill the contract by the determined completion date or within one year of the requested term, the Incomplete grade will be changed to the grade of "E" (failing).
6. Once the coursework is completed and submitted, the instructor will then go through the Faculty Grade Change request form in MySLCC to update the ‘I’ grade to a final grade.
