Class Registration
Records & Registration
Adding Courses:
You may not add a course after the late registration
period. After this period of time, a change may be initiated by
an instructor to reassign a misplaced student. These changes must
be made on an official Drop/Add form and require approval of the
academic dean. This does not apply to Open Entry/Open Exit or
laboratory mini-courses.
Dropping Courses:
Each semester the college will assign a specific date by which
a student may drop a class for tuition and fees refund. This date
is listed in the course schedule and
on your Schedule/Bill. No refund will be issued after this published
date.
If you are registered for late-starting classes that begin after
the scheduled refund date, you will have three business days from
the listed start date of the class to drop for tuition and fees
refund. You must come to the registration area and submit a completed
Drop/Add form by the posted date to receive a refund. Completion
and submission of this form is your responsibility. Requests
to drop a class or classes that are mailed or faxed to the college
will be honored only if they are postmarked or received by the
posted drop date. Mailed or faxed requests must contain your full
name, your student ID number, specific instructions for amending
the schedule, and your signature. Unsigned requests will not be
honored.
Course Cancellations:
Lake Michigan College builds its schedule of
courses based on enrollment trends and community needs. The College
may cancel any course at its sole discretion. If you are affected
by course cancellations, you will be notified. Any tuition and
fees you have paid for a course that has been canceled by the
College will be refunded.
Early/Late Starting Courses:
Some Lake Michigan College courses are offered
in 3 1/2,7, or 10 week intervals that may span more than one semester,
(i.e.Healthful Living, Basic Writing, Study Skills). Students
have three business days to register,add or drop these courses
after the official start date. A 100% tuition refund is awarded
for courses dropped within the three business days less General
Service Fees.
Independent Study:
At Lake Michigan College, you have the opportunity
to participate in Independent Study course work. This must be
arranged with a supervising instructor and must be approved by
the appropriate dean. Independent study is designed to provide
an opportunity for outstanding student to pursue special or advanced
study topics. Independent study may be elected for one or two
semester hours of credit, depending on the nature of the project
undertaken. The amount of credit assigned is determined by you,
the supervising faculty member, and the appropriate dean. Enrollment
for Independent Study will take place during regular registration
only.
Transcripts:
An official transcript must be issued upon a
written request and payment of the necessary fee, provided there
is no outstanding balance or hold on your account. Official transcripts
must be sent directly to other colleges/universities, employers,
agencies, etc or may be sent to a student in a sealed envelope
indicating that if opened it is unofficial. A student copy will
be issued to the student upon request and payment of the necessary
fee. The copy you receive is not official and will be identified
as a student copy.

Withdrawing from a Course:
Students must initiate withdrawal from a class
or classes by completing the required forms available in the Records
& Registration Office. Course withdrawals may be initiated
through the 12th week of the Fall and Winter semesters and the
5th week of the Spring and Summer semesters using an official
Withdrawal form. Your decision to discontinue a course or courses
is not officially recorded until this form is on file in the Office
of Records & Registration. No refunds are made for courses
from which you withdraw.
Once officially withdrawn from a course, you
will be assigned a grade of 'W'. For withdrawals initiated beyond
the published deadline, a grade of "W" (if passing)
or "E" will be assigned by the instructor. Withdrawal
forms are not accepted by the Office of Records & Registration
during the final week of the semester.
