Adding/Dropping Procedures

Students are responsible for understanding the policies and procedures about add/drops. Students choosing to add or drop this class are responsible to ensuring they have done so properly.

For adding the Class Before the Start Date:

Use Web4 to enroll in the class if space is available.
If no space is available, you can use Web4 to add yourself to a waitlist. If space becomes available before the semester, you will be notified via email and provided an add code.

For Adding the Class After the Start Date:

CCSF has removed add codes as of Spring 2020
You must use the Class Request option on the class schedule using the CRN to request an add.
Requests are not guaranteed! I always prioritize the waitlist first and then the request list.

Dropping the Class:

Students are encouraged to drop the class on their own ASAP to allow other students to add.
The instructor will drop students who do not demonstrate academic contributions within the first seven days of the course. Academic contribution is usually in the form of a discussion post or quiz, depending on the instructor's assignments.
The instructor reserves the right to drop students at any point in the semester if they do not login and contribute academic work at least once every seven days.
Students are required to be aware of drop dates throughout the semester. CCSF Academic Calendar will include the last dates to drop with and without a W as well as last day to drop for a full refund. Students are responsible to drop the class on their own in these circumstances.
