Adding or Dropping Classes

Register for Classes:

You must be in Good Standing to register for your classes in Self-Service.

Good Standing consists of:

• Having an active application in the State Center Community College District (SCCCD) at either Fresno City College, Reedley College, Clovis Community College, or Madera Community College
• No Registration Holds
• No Academic Holds*
• No Business Office Holds with any college in the SCCCD

* If you are on Academic Probation you must meet with a counselor to be cleared for registration.

Registration Deadlines

• Pre-Registration Period - Is the time period starting from the student’s registration date to the Friday prior to the start of the class. All full and short term classes may be added at any time during Pre-Registration.
• Add Period - Is the time period from the start of the class and before 20 percent of the class meetings have occurred. All full and short term classes may be added any time prior to the end of the Add period.

You may register for classes on or after your assigned Registration Date as long as it is within the Registration period. If it is within the Add period, you must obtain an Add Authorization code from the instructor.

• Pass/No Pass Requests - can be made by submitting the Pass/No Pass form online prior to finals week. See Admissions & Records for deadline. If you request Pass/No Pass you may not change your request once the deadline has passed.

Dropping Classes

You do not need to be in good standing to drop classes from your schedule. However, if you are not in good standing, you may not do so online. For assistance, submit a Current or Former Student Request form or contact Admissions and Records by email at registration@fresnocitycollege.edu.

Drop Deadlines

• Registration Period - Is the time period starting from the student’s registration date to the Friday prior to the start of the class. All full and short term classes may be dropped at any time during the Registration period. Fees paid for classes dropped, during this period, will be credited.
• Early Drop Period - Is the time period from the start of the class and before 10 percent of the class meetings have occurred. All full and short term classes may be dropped prior to 5:00 pm on the last day of the Early Drop Period for a full refund.
• Late Add Period - Is the time period from after 10 percent and before 20 percent of the class meetings have occurred. All full and short term classes may be dropped at any time during the late Add Period. There will be No Refund for classes dropped during this period, even if the class was added during this period. Classes dropped during this period will not appear on your End of Term Official Transcript.
• Late Drop Period - Is the time period from after 20 percent and before 50 percent of the class meetings have occurred. All full and short term classes may be dropped at any time during the Late Drop Period. Classes dropped during this period will be considered a “withdrawal” and will appear on your End of Term Official Transcript with a “W” instead of a letter grade. There will be No Refund for classes dropped during this period.
• Post Drop Period – Once the Late Drop Period has ended (after 50 percent of the class meetings have occurred), classes may only be dropped if the withdrawal is caused by Extenuating Circumstances. Classes dropped for circumstances beyond your control will be considered an “excused withdrawal” and will appear on your End of Term Official Transcript with a “EW”. There will be No Refund for classes dropped during this period. See the Withdraw for Extenuating Circumstances section for complete details.
