WAC 132I-160-090   Changes in registration.  (1) Changes in schedule: Students may change their course schedule after initial registration. Deadlines for changes are announced in "The Quarterly." Submit the change of schedule (add/drop) form to the registration office. Instructors' signatures are required after the first week of the quarter. This form is available in the registration area and educational planning center. Students may wish to talk with an advisor first.

     (2) Dropping a course: Students may drop courses until the end of the ninth week of the quarter (except during summer). Instructors' signatures are required after the first week of the quarter. Classes dropped during the first three weeks of the quarter will not appear on student transcripts. Instructors have the option of assigning either a withdrawal grade (W) or, if the student is performing failing work at the time of withdrawal, a failing grade (0.0) to students who withdraw from a course after the third week of the quarter. Students may wish to talk with an adviser first. Check "The Quarterly" for the deadline to drop (withdraw) from courses.

     (3) Withdrawal from college: Students who wish to withdraw from Highline Community College use the same procedures as for dropping a course. The signature of the instructor of each course is required on the change of schedule (add/drop) form after the first week of the quarter. Students who do not officially withdraw and simply cease to attend courses may be assumed by the instructor to have not met minimum course requirements and therefore may be graded as having failed (0.0) the course.
