Add / Drop Courses

Add/Drop Courses

Students may choose to waitlist a course if it is full. During the registration process students will receive the option to waitlist when a class is closed. Select the waitlist option by choosing the “Waitlist” in the dropdown box next to the class. An automated email will be sent to the student’s school email account when a spot opens in the class. The student will then have 72 hours to register for the course waitlisted. After the first day of class, the student will have 24-48 hours to register.  For more information see our waitlist FAQ..

Adding Courses

Students may add courses through the first 3 days of instruction of the semester using MyHC. After the 3rd day of instruction, all adds require an instructor’s signature on an add form. Students are not allowed to add classes after the 8th day of instruction.

Summer and Block session dates for adding classes are condensed. Please refer to their specific chart.

Dropping Courses

Students may drop courses through the first 15 days of instruction of the semester using MyHC and receive a refund. After the 15th day of instruction no refund will be given for dropped courses; however, students may drop until the last 15 days of the semester. Students will need to complete a drop form, receive Instructor or Advisor approval. A grade of “W” will be given for drops made after the 15th day, and it will not affect the GPA.

If you are dropping all classes please see the next section concerning Cancellations/Withdrawals.
