How to Add Classes

Don't stand in line; add classes online or by phone!

Here's how:

  1. Attend the first meeting of the class to get an Add Code Label from the instructor if there is space in the class. The Add Code Label is the instructor's permission to add the class.
  2. Go to the online registration system or STAR system (phone) to add classes. Students who do not have personal access to the Internet can use campus computers listed below.

Please note:

  • Although wait-listed students get first consideration for available seats in classes, it is still possible for other students to try to add courses once school begins.
  • The add code will work one time only and will be valid for the first two weeks of the quarter. For Summer Session, the add code expires at the end of the first week of classes.
  • You may still add classes at Admissions and Records.
  • Check the academic calendar for the last day to add classes.

Computer Locations:

  • Student and Community Services Building
  • Open Media Lab, Learning Center West (only during first two weeks of school)
  • Distance Education, Learning Center West, Room 102
  • The Internet Lab, second floor of the Learning Center (Library)
  • Financial Aid Office, Hinson Campus Center, lower level

How to Drop Classes

Dropping Classes During Fall, Winter, and Spring Quarters

For deadlines please see the academic calendar.

To drop quarter-length classes not requiring an instructor's signature during the first two weeks of the term, students must use the STAR (Student Telephone Assisted Registration) system or drop online. Drop forms are not needed except for classes listed below. There will be no grade of record if classes are dropped by the deadline.

Drop forms are always needed for the following classes, which require an instructor's signature and must be processed at the Admissions and Records Office: Arts 58A, B, C; all Chemistry (students must obtain signatures during laboratory times); Film/TV 20, 22, 50, 52A, B, 53, 54, 54X, Y & Z, 55A, B, C, 56, 57 58A through Z, 62, 63, 64, 66, 74W, X, Y & Z, 80, 80X, Y; Music 8A & B, 20, 21, 23, 25G through 32, 34 42, 45C, 45F, 46, 48; Photography-all except 20 & 21.

From the beginning of the fourth week of the term through the end of the eighth week of the quarter, students must submit a drop form to the Admissions and Records Office for each class to be dropped. Except for the classes listed below, instructor's signatures are not required. A grade of "W" will be recorded.

Students who have not withdrawn by the end of the eighth week of the quarter will receive the appropriate grade for their achievement in the course.

Dropping classes during Summer Session ONLY

For deadlines please see the academic calendar.

You may use the online registration system or STAR (Student Telephone Assisted Registration) for classes that meet the following requirements:

For all drops and withdrawals after the "no grade of record" time period, students must submit a drop form to the Admissions and Records Office for each class to be dropped.

Important: If you decide to drop classes before school begins, you must use the online registration system or the STAR (Student Telephone Assisted Registration) system. This will create space in your classes for other students who are on waiting lists.
