There are specific registration procedures for new students, former students and for students who are currently enrolled. A detailed description of the enrollment and registration procedures is published in the Schedule of Classes which is available at www.wcccd.edu and at all WCCCD locations prior to each registration period.
Important Registration Information
You are officially registered when the registration staff enters your classes into the registration system or once you click the “submit” button for those registering online. You are responsible for all tuition and fees incurred including the non-refundable registration fee. You must pay at least 65% of your tuition and fees at the time of registration. You must officially withdraw from your class (es) within the refund period to be eligible for any refund. The unpaid balance of tuition and fees is still due when you drop a course after the refund period ends. Therefore, any course dropped after the 50% refund period must be paid for in FULL.
Disclaimer
The schedule of classes is for information only and does not constitute a contract. The District reserves the right to change, modify or alter without notice all fees, charges, tuition, expenses and costs of any kind and further reserves the right to add or delete, without notice, any course offering or information contained in the schedule.
WCCCD reserves the right to assign instructional staff and to eliminate, cancel, phase out or reduce course sizes and/or programs for financial, curricular or programmatic reasons.
Auditing Classes
Students desiring to audit courses for no credit must indicate “audit” on the Registration Form for the appropriate classes prior to registering. Students auditing courses pay regular tuition and fees. Credit is not given for an audited course, nor may a change to credit status be made after the student has registered to audit a course. Students who desire to change from credit status to audit status in a course must do so before the class begins. The course is included on the official transcript as an audit and denoted by the letter V Auditing a course can only be done during walk-in registration. Students must complete a registration form in order to audit a course.
Repeating Courses
Students may not repeat for credit any course for which they have earned a “C” or better. Exceptions may be made in special circumstances at the discretion of the Vice-Chancellor or his/her designee. Students have an opportunity to repeat completed courses (for no additional credit) in which they would like to improve their grade point average three times after the initial enrollment. If a class is repeated, each grade received will remain on the transcript, but the highest grade awarded will be used in calculating the grade point average.
Adding or Dropping Classes
Students may add or drop classes through the registration period. Please consult the current Schedule of Classes for applicable add/drop dates. Students desiring to add/drop classes may do so online through Web-Gate or complete and process the appropriate form in the office of records/registration at the campus of their choice. Classes dropped after the refund period will be reflected as a “W” grade on the student transcript.
Withdrawing from Classes
Officially withdrawing from classes may entitle students to full or partial refunds. For more information, refer to the current Academic Schedule book.
Refunds
Classes cancelled by the District will result in a 100% refund. The District reserves the right to cancel classes. The District will attempt to notify students whose classes are cancelled. Students substituting another course must process a drop/add form as soon as possible without additional charge for the added class. If students do not wish to substitute another course, a refund is automatic and there is no need to process a drop/add form. The refund will be returned to the student approximately 3-5 weeks after the first day of the semester. There is no refund for health reasons. Classes dropped by the student after the refund deadlines will result in ‘‘no refund.”
Tuition, student activity fees, technology fee, facility fee, and all course-designated fees are refundable within the deadline requirements. However, registration, drop/add and deferred fees are not refundable unless the District cancels one or all of a student’s classes.
Military Refund Policy
A student belonging to the Armed Forces or the Michigan National Guard who is called to active duty will be allowed to withdraw from classes without penalty and receive a 100% refund of the student’s tuition and fees provided the student has not completed the course(s) for which the student is seeking a refund.
Career Planning and Placement
The Career Planning and Placement Office offers students and graduates an opportunity to explore employment opportunities in conjunction with their educational and personal goals. Professional staff is available online at www.wcccd.edu at each campus to provide a variety of employment related services. Additional information can be found at https://www.wcccd.edu/students/pp_career_planning.htm.
