Adding Courses
You may add regular courses only during the Add Period specified in the PCC Schedule of Classes. You may add mini-courses or special-length courses up to the day the class starts. Registration after the census date will not be permitted due to COF restrictions.

Dropping Courses
If you drop a regular course during the refund period listed in the PCC Schedule of Classes, you do not have to pay for the course. The dropped course will not appear on your permanent record. You may drop short courses, mini-courses, or special-length courses without penalty before 15 percent of the course duration has passed.

You may add and drop courses in one of two ways:

• Visit any campus registration station. To add or drop a class in person, you must submit a signed schedule adjustment form.
• Online through MyCommunity EDucation.

For add and drop deadlines for special-length courses, contact any registration station or the Admissions & Records Office, or refer to the class schedule/bill you received at the time you registered.

For a statement about PCC’s refund policy, see the Tuition and Fees section of the catalog or the current PCC Schedule of Classes. Not attending a class, or missing a payment deadline, does not constitute a drop.

Withdrawing from Courses
Following the end of the refund period, you may withdraw from any or all of your courses and receive a grade of “W” if you withdraw before 80 percent of the course duration has passed. You may not withdraw from a course during the last 20 percent of the course duration. When you withdraw from a course, you must still pay tuition and fees.

• To withdraw from an individual course, you must complete a course withdrawal form, which you can obtain from an advisor, an instructor, or the Admissions & Records Office.
• To withdraw from all courses, you must initiate the withdrawal in the Admissions & Records Office.
• Not attending a class does not constitute an automatic drop, refund, or withdrawal.

Military Withdrawal
If you are called to active military duty, or if your academic work is interrupted by other military obligations, we will make every effort to accommodate you. When you present valid military orders to the Admission & Records Office, you may choose one of the following options:

• Challenge a course by taking the final examination any time after midterm.
• Receive an incomplete grade for the term, and a tuition waiver upon return, provided that you received an honorable discharge, enroll in the same major, and register for the same number of credit hours as before the interruption.
• Receive a refund of tuition and fees (if you select this option, you must contact the Financial Aid Office prior to departure).
