Required Withdrawal

Students are responsible for satisfying course prerequisites. Prerequisites for various courses are printed with the course descriptions in this catalog and in the semester class schedules. Moreover, Jefferson State has required prerequisites for all English and mathematics courses. During the early registration process, a student will be allowed to register for the courses sequential to those in which he/she is currently enrolled, including English and mathematics; however, if a student should fail the courses in which he/she is currently enrolled, then it is the student's responsibility to make the proper changes during regular registration. If the student's schedule is not adjusted, he/she will be dropped from courses for which he/she is not eligible.

Dropping and Adding a Class

Schedule adjustment or drop-and-add period will be the first two days of each semester which has a fifteen or sixteen week period. The drop-and-add period begins the first instructional day of the semester/session. No grade will be given if a student drops a class during the drop-and-add period. Holidays will not be counted if they have an adverse effect on drop-and-add days for which the refund policy is in effect.
