Adding and Dropping Policy
Adding and Dropping Policy
Engagement in the academic activities of an online course constitutes "attendance" in an online course. You are required to participate in the "Check In" discussion forum by the end of the first week, or you will receive a “no-show.” If you stop participating and do not complete the first two modules by the end of the second week, you will be dropped from the class. After the drop deadline, you may be withdrawn from the course if you stop participating for more than two weeks. At CCSF, the "FW" grade symbol is an indication that a student has both ceased participating in a course some time after the last day to officially withdraw from the course without having achieved a final passing grade, and that the student has not received District authorization to withdraw from the course under extenuating circumstances.
