Waitlist
Students may opt to be placed on a waitlist for a class that is full at the time of registration. The student will be informed at the time of registration in聽聽of his/her position on the waitlist for a class. Students opting for the waitlist are not guaranteed entry to the class. However, prior to the start of classes, if sufficient space becomes available, and the student has not enrolled in another section of the same class or in another class that would cause a time conflict, the student will be enrolled into the class from the waitlist. Students who opt to be waitlisted for a class are encouraged to check their schedules often to determine if their position on the waitlist has changed or if they have been enrolled in the class from the waitlist. Students will not otherwise be notified of their enrollment in a class from the waitlist.听 Once the semester begins, waitlists are purged and enrollment is at the instructor鈥檚 consent.听
The waitlist is not available for class sections that have been cancelled nor is it available for non-enrollment components of classes.
Time Conflicts
Students may not enroll in classes that conflict in time. If the faculty members involved believe a student may participate fully and attend two classes that conflict in time in the schedule, the student must obtain the signature of both instructors for these classes on the聽听(, 183KB) , and state the reasons why this is possible.听 The approved Time Conflict form can be submitted to the Enrollment Center in Sage Hall.
Change of Program
Students are responsible for managing their programs of study; obtaining required permission to add, drop or swap classes or to change the basis of grading for a class. Such changes can be made on the web in聽聽prior to the start of classes without any permission. Once classes begin through the end of the third week of the semester, the approval of the instructor is required to add via a course specific permission number.
Beginning with the fourth week of instruction, adding is no longer permitted and dropping requires instructor and chair signatures on a Drop Form.听 Additionally, dropping after the third week is only for serious and compelling reasons and supporting documentation is required.听
Students are responsible for any additional tuition fees incurred as a result of adding classes or balances created by dropping classes and proration. Please refer to the Change of Program Table in this Schedule of Classes for information on Change of Program deadlines and required permissions.
Permission Number Use For Adding Classes Once Term Starts
Within the first three weeks of the semester, students may request permission numbers from the instructor to add a course. 听(SP 18-01)PDF
If approval is given, the instructor will assign a unique 鈥減ermission number鈥� to the student for this purpose.听The permission number is tied to a specific course subject and section number and can only be used once in order to register in the class.
During the online adding process, input the permission number on the 鈥渃lass preferences鈥� page. The number will override all prerequisites and class enrollment limits.
Permission numbers expire after the third Friday of the term.
Late Registration
Students who have not registered prior to the start of classes must follow the late registration procedures in order to enroll. Students must obtain permission from the instructor to add a class prior to the published deadline.听 During the first three weeks of the term, students may register using instructor issued permission numbers.听 Permission numbers expire after the third Friday of the term.听 Late registration must be completed by the end of the third week of instruction. A $25.00 Late Registration fee is charged in addition to all regular registration tuition fees. Refer to the University Fees section of this publication for more information.

- Students are not permitted to add a class after the third week of instruction. Exceptions may be made only in case of extenuating circumstances outside the control of the student and when the student has been attending the course and is current with all coursework.
Dropping Classes
Prior to the start of classes and through the end of the third week of the semester, students may drop classes on the web in聽聽without permission. Although a record is kept of the drop, the course will not appear on the student's permanent record.
Beginning with the fourth week of instruction and prior to the twelfth week of instruction, withdrawal from an individual course is permissible only for serious and compelling reasons. The approval signatures of the instructor and the Program Chair are required to withdraw from a class during this period and supporting documentation is expected to accompany the drop request.听 The Drop form with signatures and required supporting documentation must be submitted to Registrar鈥檚 Office. A "W" grade will be recorded on the student's permanent record.
Withdrawal requests are limited to 18 units during your academic career at 海角社区CI.听 After this total is reached, further course withdrawal is not allowed.听 View your totals by logging into聽, and selecting聽CI Records聽in the menu. Once you are in the Student Center, click on the "other academic..."聽drop-down box, and select聽Withdrawals/Repeats.
Withdrawal during the final four weeks of instruction is not permitted except in cases where the circumstances causing the withdrawal are clearly beyond the student's control,聽and the assignment of an "I" (Incomplete) grade is not practical. Ordinarily, withdrawal in this category will involve complete withdrawal from the University. The student must fill out the聽聽(, 512KB) and obtain approval signatures from their instructor(s) and program chair(s).. Documentation of the circumstances causing the student to request withdrawal will be required.听 Requests will be reviewed by Registrar鈥檚 Office to determine if the reason for withdrawal meets the criteria for serious and compelling.听 If so, the withdrawal request will be sent to the Dean for review. A "W" grade will be recorded on the student's permanent record for each course. However, approved medical withdrawals will not count against the 18 units allowed for withdrawals.听 Students have until 30 days after the end of the term to request a complete withdrawal.听 Any requests for a withdrawal from a previous term will not be considered.听
Failure to properly withdraw from class(es) may result in the student receiving failing grades ("WU" grade). Please refer to the Change of Program Table in this Schedule of Classes for information on Change of Program deadlines and required signatures.
Instructor Initiated Drops聽
Instructors may drop students as early as the first day of classes through the end of the third week for any of the following reasons:
- Student failure to attend class without having made prior arrangements with the instructor.
- Student failure to complete the prerequisites for a course before enrolling in the course.
- Student failure to properly secure the permission of the instructor before enrolling when such permission is required.
Students will be alerted via Dolphin email once an Instructor Initiated Drop has been processed.
Note: Instructor Initiated Drops are optional to the instructor.听 It is the student's responsibility to manage his / her class schedule and any change of program. Failure to properly drop a class may result in the student receiving a failing ("WU") grade for the course.
Change of Grading Basis
A student may opt to change the grading basis for a class, only if an alternate grading basis is available to that course as indicated in the Catalog. Many classes are not available to be taken on a Credit / No Credit grading basis, conversely, some classes are only offered on a Credit / No Credit basis and may not be taken for a letter grade. Consult the Catalog for the options available to each course. Additionally, the student should be aware that courses taken for the major may not be allowed to be taken on a Credit / No Credit grading basis.
Students may change the grading basis through the eighth week of instruction without instructor approval.听 Change can be completed online via myCI during the first three weeks of the semester.听 For changes requested after the third week, contact聽registrar@csuci.edu. 聽
