Waitlists are available to students before classes are "Z" coded (closed to open registration) on the Thursday of the first week of classes. Students will have a very short time (12 hrs) to register once they are notified of an open seat in the class. Students on the waitlist should attend class in the first week. Waitlists will be released to the faculty and students will be dropped from the waitlist on the Thursday of week one.
Students who do not physically attend at least one class session during the first week or participate in a substantive online class activity for online classes must be No Show Dropped by the instructor.
To report No Show Drops (aka Administrative Withdrawals), email the office at arts@lanecc.edu. No show drop deadlines are published here.
Please Note: The deadline for No Show Drops is 10am on Monday of Week 02. Please have them to us as early as possible though.
Please include the student L#s and the CRNs of the classes. One email works well for all No Show Drops.
Adding students to you class is best done by emailing the office arts@lanecc.edu. Enrollment services prefers students to add themselves to classes. The office will provide the student with the proper permits for them to be able to register themselves.
The COPPS policy for incompletes states that if a student has completed at least 75% of the coursework and is unable to finish the remainder due to extenuating circumstances, the instructor may issue an incomplete grade at the student's request.
The instructor must complete this Incomplete Agreement form and submit to the Academic Admin (Cas Rhay) for department records.
When grading, the instructor inputs an 'I' grade, as well as an alternate grade. The alternate grade is the grade they will receive if they do not complete any additional work. The alternate grade posts automatically at the end of the next term, but can be extended if needed.
Once the agreement is fulfilled. Instructor submit a grade change form.
Note: if the alternate grade posts because the deadline is not met, you can still do a grade change for up to one year. Anything longer than one year requires the Dean's permission.
