Update: Post Add/Drop Fall 2009 (08/27/09)

August 27th, 2009

Good Morning:

All add/drop registration for the 16-week and first 8-week sessions ended on Wednesday, August 26 at 5 p.m.  Students who did not pay by the August 26 deadline were dropped for non-payment on Wednesday evening.  The refund and withdrawal process continues, following the dates published in the course schedule.

Students who inquire about adding courses at this point should be directed to any of the later starting courses, including the 12-week, second 8-week session course offerings.  All registration systems are continuously open and available to use for classes in teaching sessions that have not yet started.

Reminder: Registration information can be found at http://www.austincc.edu/register/

If a student believes that documented college error or extenuating circumstances warrant an appeal of the add/drop deadline, a referral should be made to the appropriate, campus-based Assistant Dean.  If you have information to share with the Assistant Dean that would aid in the decision making process, please use a student referral form to describe the circumstances as you understand them.

Procedures for handling class limit overload requests can be found at: Course Limit Overload Guidelines

Upon the approval of the course addition or change, the approver must complete a schedule change form.

The forms must be completely filled out with:
a. Student’s full name
b. Student’s Datatel ID number (or SSN)
c. Course abbreviation, course number, section/lecture number and synonym
d. The start and end dates of the session
e. Signature and contact telephone number of the designated authority
f. Course override permission (when required)

It is the responsibility of the staff signing the schedule change forms to ascertain that no time or day conflict occurs with the student’s established course schedule and that the student has met pre- or co-requisite course requirements.

The completed form may be submitted at any campus Admissions Office, where they are then faxed to HBC Admissions. Processing of all registration is completed within one business day of receipt of the form. Students should obtain a new fee receipt from the Cashier’s Office in the case of all changes, to determine if any additional charges are incurred. If additional tuition is incurred, payment must be received within two working days of the submission of the schedule change card to maintain enrollment in the course(s).

New Students
New students wishing to apply and register should be directed to the course offerings in sessions that have not yet started.

Developmental Education and Level Changes only:
Between August 24 and September 8, developmental education, science, math, and foreign language departments may initiate course changes and level changes for students, as determined appropriate by the departmental faculty. Departmental staff should use the Schedule Change Form to make the requested changes. When the change results in the addition of credit hours to the student’s schedule, payment must be made for the additional credits added to the schedule.

When filling out the form, the initiator should review the students’ records to ascertain that no time or day conflict occurs with the student’s established course schedule, that the student has no holds barring him from registration, and that the student has met pre- or co-requisite course requirements

Thank you and best wishes for a great semester~
