ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION WaitLists The waitlist feature offers students a fair and consistent method of being enrolled in a full class if an opening occurs. Students may place their name on 3 waitlists but may not be in different sections of the same class, have time conflicts, or unauthorized over 24 credit status. Each waitlist will hold 24 students. The last day for students to add their name to a waitlist will be the day prior to the start of the quarter. Students who choose to place their name on a waitlist will be automatically enrolled in the waitlisted class when a space becomes available. As space becomes available in a full class, the top name on the waitlist will move into the class. Once a student places their name on a waitlist, the student must check their waitlist status online or at the Kodiak Corner main counter at 425.352.8860 to find out if they have been registered in a class and to be informed of tuition and fees. Students are responsible for: • Checking their schedule daily to see if automated enrollment occurred from the waitlist. • Paying tuition and fees by the tuition deadline. If automated enrollment from the waitlist occurs after the tuition deadline, tuition and fees are due by 8AM the business day 24 hours after you are registered. Non-payment may result in the automated enrolled class being dropped from your schedule. • Clearing scheduling conflicts such as time conflicts, enrollment into the same class-different section, or unauthorized over 24-credit status. If scheduling conflicts are not cleared by 8AM of the next business day, Enrollment Services will automatically drop the last enrolled class that caused the scheduling conflict. • Clearing any holds including parking fines, library fines, any outstanding balances on student accounts, unreturned calculator holds, or unpaid fees prior to the automated enrollment. If a space becomes available and the student has not cleared any holds or fines, the student will be removed from the waitlist and the spot will be offered to the next person on the waitlist. If students decide to no longer be on the waitlist, they are responsible for removing their name from the waitlist online or at the Kodiak Corner main counter. Students may incur charges and/or receive a failing grade if they do not remove themselves from the waitlist and therefore become registered for classes. Schedule Changes When students change their class schedules, they should be aware that additional tuition, fees, or qualified tuition refunds may apply. Changes to a student’s quarterly class schedule may impact his/her financial aid status. Therefore, students on financial aid should contact the Student Financial Services Office. To Add a Class • Students may use online registration to add classes to their schedule prior to the beginning of the quarter. • Students may register in person at the Kodiak Corner main counter and may add classes to their schedule from the first through the tenth calendar day of the quarter (date is adjusted for summer quarter) with instructor permission by completing a Credit Registration form. • For self-paced lab classes, students may register through the 40th calendar day of the quarter (this date is adjusted for summer quarter). To Drop a Class • Students may drop classes using online or in-person registration through the tenth calendar day of the quarter by completing a Credit Registration form. (date is adjusted for summer quarter). • Instructor permission is not required. • No grade will appear on the student’s transcript for courses dropped during this period. To Officially Withdraw from a Class Beginning the 11th calendar day of the quarter through the sixth week of the quarter (date is adjusted for summer quarter), students can withdraw from classes via the web or by completing a Credit Registration form and submitting it to the Kodiak Corner main counter for processing. A “W” grade will appear on the student’s transcript if the student completes the withdrawal during the withdrawal dates. Students who fail to follow the procedure for officially withdrawing will receive a grade in accordance with the instructor’s grading policy. Administrative Withdrawal from a Class Students who fail to attend class by the end of the second class meeting or fail to contact their instructor regarding their attendance in class by the end of the second class meeting may be administratively withdrawn from the class by their instructor. Students who do not meet course prerequisites may be administratively withdrawn from the class at the instructor’s discretion. Refunds The following refund policies pertain to state-funded credit courses only, not to continuing education. When a student reduces his/her class load to fewer than 10 credits or completely withdraws from classes, Cascadia Community College will refund tuition according to the following schedule: • Cancellation of the class by the college: 100% refund • On or before the 6th day of instruction for the quarter, excluding weekends and holidays; in-person during Kodiak Corner office hours, or 9:30PM online: 100% refund (summer quarter: 100% refund dates are prorated). • Withdrawal from classes beginning with the seventh day of instruction through the 20th calendar day of the quarter: 50% refund (summer quarter: 50% refund dates are prorated.) No refunds are given to students who are dismissed for disciplinary reasons, who do not follow the official withdrawal procedures, or who withdraw after the 20th calendar day of the quarter (summer quarter: dates are prorated). Refunds are processed automatically when students drop or withdraw from classes after the 50% refund date. The amount of the refund will be reduced by the amount of open balances on the student’s account. Refunds are made as follows: • If payment was made by cash or check, a refund check will be mailed. Please allow 4-6 weeks after the 50% refund date for delivery. • If payment was made by credit or debit card, a refund will be posted to the account within 10 business days after the 50% refund date. • If payment was made by financial aid, a refund check will be mailed once your account is reviewed for eligibility of the funds. Please note: For the Continuing Education policy on refunds, refer to FAQ’s 10 Catalog 2011-12 Cascadia Community College
