CONTINUE TO CHECK OFTEN* FOR OPENINGS RESULTING WHEN OTHER STUDENTS DROP THE COURSE

*"OFTEN" - AT LEAST EVERY 24 HOURS

Contact the instructor for each course to let them know that you are trying to add the class BEFORE the term begins.

Be sure to provide

• THE NAME OF THE CLASS YOU WANT TO ADD

  • for example Fash1A, Fash2, Fash5, etc.

    • The name of the class is important if an instructor teaches more than one class, they can't know which one you want unless you indicate the name of the class.

• THE CRN # FOR THE CLASS YOU WANT TO ADD

  • The CRN is a five-digit code that is assigned to each section of a course. The CRNs for every section is listed in the Schedule of Classes.

    • The CRN is especially important when there is more than one section of the class to ensure that you get the section that fits best with your schedule.

• YOUR NAME

  • as it appears in LancerPoint

  • also include the name that you prefer to be called - it would be really great if you also made the name change official with PCC

• PCC ID #

• YOUR GO.PASADENA.EDU EMAIL ADDRESS

• WHY SHOULD YOU BE ADDED TO THE CLASS? Are you a fashion major? Is this your first semester at PCC or your 1one millionth? Were you on the waitlist? Have you tried to register for the class before? Are you a really awesome addition to the class that the teacher shouldn't pass up the opportunity to experience?

If there is an opportunity to add students beyond those on the official waitlist, some instructors will only add students who have emailed in advance. Some instructors send information about the class before the start of the term.

ONLINE COURSES WITH NO MEETINGS ON CAMPUS

• On the 1st day of the term, PCC typically makes Add Codes available to instructors for each course that they teach.

• IF THERE IS SPACE IN THE COURSE, THEN Add Codes are manually issued to students on the waitlist first.

• Once Add Codes have been issued to waitlisted students, an if there is still space in the class, then add codes are sent to other students who contacted the instructor requestion permission to add.

COURSES WITH MEETINGS ON CAMPUS

ATTEND THE 1ST CLASS MEETING, BE ON TIME, STAY UNTIL THE END

• Registered students who do not attend all class meetings in their entirety before the last day to add a class may be dropped in order to make room for other students to add the class

  • PCC policy stipulates that registered students who are late to the first class meeting, leave the first class meeting early, or who are not in attendance for the entire first class session may be dropped from the course.

  • PCC policy also stipulates that those who are not in attendance for the entire the second class session may be dropped from the course to make space to allow waitlisted students (who are in attendance for the entire first and second meetings) to add the course.

  • Registered students who wish to remain in the course must participate in the full first class meeting, and submit all work, or they may be dropped so that a waitlisted student who has been in attendance and doing all the work for the first two weeks can add.

WAITLISTED STUDENTS WHO WISH TO ADD AFTER THE FIRST DAY OF THE TERM

• • Participation in the full first TWO class meetings , and submitting all work does NOT guarantee an add code or a spot in the class to students who wish to add.

    • Waitlisted students who wish to add the course must participate in the full first TWO class meetings, and submit all work in order to be eligible to add the class if space becomes available.

    • If there is space, waitlisted students who have been in attendance for the entire first two class meeting, and submitted all work may have an opportunity to add the course.

    • If space becomes available, eligible waitlisted students who have fully participated in entire class meetings may have an opportunity to add according to the priority assigned by the PCC waitlist.

NOT REGISTERED, NOT WAITLISTED, BUT STILL WANT TO ADD?

• Participation in the full first TWO class meetings, and submitting all work does NOT guarantee an add code or a spot in the class.

  • Students who wish to add the course must participate in the full first TWO class meetings, and submit all work in order to be eligible to add the class if space becomes available after all eligible waitlisted students who have fully participated in entire class meetings have been given the opportunity to be added.
