ADDING A CLASS
Students may add a class through the 10% point of the class.
Students may add a full term class until Jan. 28, 2008.* After the second
class meeting, approval of the instructor is required to add the class,
which includes both the signature of the instructor and the first date of
attendance. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY to pick up the form from the
Admissions and Records Office and take it to the instructor for approval.
The student must then return the form to the Admissions and Records Office
or Extended Education Center for processing before the add is finalized.
ATTENDANCE
Students are expected to attend all classes. A student who fails to attend the
first class meeting of a course, without notifying the instructor may be dropped
from the class. In addition, an instructor may drop a student during the first
30% of the class or initiate a drop for non-attendance after the no record drop
deadline (approximately 25% of the class) and before the “W” drop deadline
(approximately 75% of the class) by completing an “Instructor-Initiated Drop”
form and submitting it directly to the Admissions and Records Office.
Nevertheless, IT IS ALWAYS THE STUDENT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO OFFICIALLY DROP OR
WITHDRAW from the class. Students who fail to file the necessary forms, even
though they stop attending class, will be assigned a course grade.
CLOSED CLASSES
A closed class is one which has reached its maximum enrollment. The only way
that student is allowed into a closed class is with the instructor’s permission.
The instructor verifies permission by signing a student add/drop form and
including the date of first attendance. The form must be taken immediately to
the Registration Center to finalize registration in the course.
CONFLICTING CLASSES
The State of California will not allow students to enroll in classes that are
held at the same time or that have overlapping times.
CRIME STATISTICS

DEFINITION OF PREREQUISITE, COREQUISITE, ADVISORY
ON RECOMMENDED PREPARATION
1. “Prerequisite” means a condition of enrollment that a student is required to
meet in order to demonstrate current readiness for enrollment in a course or
educational program.
2. “Corequisite” means a condition of enrollment consisting of a course that a
student is required to simultaneously take in order to enroll in another course.
3. “Advisory on recommended preparation” means a condition of enrollment that a
student is advised, but not required, to meet before or in conjunction with
enrollment in a course or educational program.
4. “Satisfactory grade” means that, for the course in question, the student’s
academic records has been annotated with the symbol A, B, C, or CR.
5. “Necessary and appropriate” means that a strong rational basis exists for
concluding that a prerequisite or co requisite is reasonably needed to achieve
the purpose that it purports to serve. This standard does not require absolute
necessity.
Requisite Challenge Procedure: If a student believes that he or she has reason
to challenge a requisite, the student should first receive advice and direction
from his or her Shasta College counselor. The student may then complete a
challenge form, with compelling, reasonable supporting documentation, and
present it to the target course’s Center Dean. A prerequisite or corequisite
challenge requires timely documentation of the reason the challenge should be
recognized and accepted. The Center Dean, with delegated advisors, will review
the challenge and may need to discuss it with the student. A determination will
be made within five (5) working days either as to whether or not the challenge
is accepted. If space is available in a course when a student files a challenge
to the prerequisite or co-requisite, the District shall reserve a seat for the
student. If the challenge is upheld or the District fails to resolve the
challenge within the five (5) working-day period, the student shall be allowed
to enroll in the course. If no space is available in the course when a challenge
is filed, the challenge shall be resolved prior to the beginning of registration
for the next term and, if the challenge is upheld, the student shall be
permitted to enroll if space is available when the student registers for the
subsequent term.
DROPPING A CLASS WITHOUT RECORD
Students may drop a class, and have no notation
appear on their transcripts through 30% of the class. (Feb. 14, 2008* is
the last day to drop without record for full term classes) IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DROP CLASS(ES). The
necessary forms are available from the Admissions and Records Office,
Extended Education Centers, or by mail. Students may may not drop classes
over the phone. If a student intends to drop a class
and stops attending, but fails to file the necessary forms, the instructor
may assign a failing letter grade.
Withdrawing From A Class With A "W" Grade:
Students may drop a course with a "W" up to 75% of the course. The notation "W" will appear on the student's transcript and will
not be used in calculation of grade point average. Excessive "W's" shall, however, be used as
factors in probation and dismissal procedures. The last day to withdraw from
a full term class with a "W" is April 14, 2008*. Students who have not
dropped or withdrawn from a class before the end of the fourteenth week or
75% of the term will be assigned a course grade. Students unable to
process transactions in person or via Web Advisor may designate another
person to process transactions on their behalf by proxy. A proxy form is
available at www.shastacollege.edu
or through the Admissions & Records Office. The form must be signed and
returned to the college Admissions Office prior to the transaction.
FIELD
TRIP/EXCURSION WAIVERS
Throughout the semester/school year, the District may sponsor off-campus,
extra-curricular field trips/excursions. If you choose to participate, be
advised that pursuant to California Code of Regulations Sub-Chapter 5, Section
55450, you have agreed to hold the District, its officers, agents and employees
harmless from any and all liability or claims which may arise out of or in
connection with your participation in the activity.
REGISTERING, ADDING, WITHDRAWING FROM CLASSES: IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO
REGISTER, ADD, DROP, or WITHDRAW FROM CLASS(ES).
ONLY OFFICIALLY REGISTERED STUDENTS MAY ATTEND CLASSES. STUDENTS WHOSE NAMES
DO NOT APPEAR ON INSTRUCTOR’S OFFICIAL CLASS LIST ARE NOT REGISTERED AND
WILL NOT RECEIVE CREDIT OR GRADES.
It is
the student's responsibility to be aware of his/her registration status at
all times.
Please be aware of the following information and/or dates:
REPEATING CLASSES
Students may not repeat a class in which he/she has received a satisfactory
grade (A,B,C or CR) unless it is designated as a repeatable class. See the
latest Shasta College Catalog for detailed repeat policy.
GRADING POLICY: Several of the major
parts of the Shasta College grading policy you should be aware of are:
1. There are two types of probation, ACADEMIC and/or PROGRESS, based upon
12 accumulated units.
2. The last day to WITHDRAW from a full-term class with a "W" is
April 14, 2008*
3. Students opting for Credit/No Credit must do so no later than 30
percent into the class. (Feb. 15, 2008)*
4. Incompletes can be given only under limited conditions, and are
written contracts between the instructor and student stipulating work to be
done to complete the course and the evaluative grade the student will
receive if he/she does not complete the work during the one-year limit.
5. A student goes on Academic Probation if his/her GPA drops below a 2.00
in 12 units, even if the units are accumulated over more than one semester.
A student goes on Progress Probation when 50 percent of his/her grades in 12
accumulated units are I, NC, and/or W (6 units out of 12). All Shasta
College work done since Fall 1981 counts toward determining Academic and
Progress Probation.
6. You may not repeat a course in which you receive a C or better.
Students receiving a D, F, or NC grade in a course may repeat the course
once.
REFUND POLICY:
The Enrollment Fee,
parking, and/or material fees are refundable if a class is dropped during
the first 10% of the class. The Student Health and Campus Center Fees are
refundable if a student withdraws from all classes during the first 10% of
the class. The Activities Fee is not refundable. Please check with your
instructor and/or Admissions Office for specific dates. Refunds of
out-of-state tuition for full-term classes for each unit dropped will be
made as follows:
Prior to and during the first week of instruction: 100%
During the second week of instruction: 75%
During the third week of instruction: 50%
During the fourth week of instruction: 25%
NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN AFTER THIS POINT.
Out-of-state tuition refunds for classes less than a full-term length will
be prorated according to the above schedule.
FEES ARE AUTOMATICALLY REFUNDED WHEN APPROPRIATE:
The first refunds will be mailed one week after the first day of classes,
and thereafter in weekly cycles. Shasta College reserves the right to change
fees and related refund policy without notice. If the State Legislature
enacts a fee increase retroactively students will be billed for the
difference. Please keep your address current with the Admissions & Records
Office.
*The dates given in this abstract apply to full-term classes. Short-term
classes have different dates depending on the length of the class.
SPECIAL PART-TIME ENROLLMENT (FORMERLY
CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT): A high
school student wishing to enroll in Shasta College classes must have the
permission of his/her high school principal and follow instructions detailed
on the form. Concurrent students are limited to no more than two (2)
classes per semester. Forms are available at the local high schools.
Advanced approval of all concurrent students by the Dean of Admissions and
Records is required before registration. Please allow a minimum of
three (3) business days for the approval process at the College. All
special admit students should review college assessment test requirements as
noted on the reverse side of the concurrent enrollment form. K-10th
grade students will not be allowed to register before the first day of the
semester, although approval of the form can be obtained in advance.
TRANSPORTATION NOTICE: Some
classes may be conducted off campus. Unless you are specifically
advised otherwise, you are responsible for arranging for your own
transportation to and from the class site. Although the District may
assist in coordinating the transportation and/or recommend travel time,
route or caravanning, be advised that the District assumes no liability or
responsibility for the transportation and any person driving a personal
vehicle is NOT an agent of the District.
