Signing up for Classes
1. What is and how do I get a course approval?
|
A course approval is needed for any class that has a PR (prerequisite). A prerequisite means that there
is a class required before taking the class you are signing up for. To get into this class you will need
an advisors approval or department approval. If the prerequisite class was taken at MCC just bring the enrollment
form to Advisement Services if it was taken somewhere else bring unofficial transcripts from that school.
|
2. How do you drop and add a class?
|
You can drop any class online. If you are in the class and you wait to drop the class after the deadline to withdraw
without instructors signature you will need to get the instructors signature in the drop form. Please see the
Academic Calendar to view deadlines for dropping and adding. All classes without prerequisites can be added online.
If the class has a PR you will need to get an advisors approval on the add form.
