A student may add a course during the first two weeks of a 16-week semester, prorated for short-term courses. Signatures of the academic advisor and the student are required during the first week; during the second week, the instructor's approval is also required. The academic school dean or designee must approve all course additions after the second week of the semester.
A student may drop a course up to the 20% point of the class or semester with the signatures of the student and the academic advisor. The dropped course will be deleted from the student's schedule and will not appear on the official transcript. Refunds for dropped courses will be applied according to College policy and federal regulations.
If dropping a course changes a student's enrollment status (from full-time to half-time, for example), state and federal financial aid may be reduced. Dropping a course may also impact financial aid satisfactory academic progress.
Drop/Add Forms are available on the Registrar's site on the myPCT Portal (network username and password required).
Information about developmental courses is available on the Admissions Policy page.
A student may drop a non-developmental course (excluding FYE101) from the 20% point through the 80% point of a semester for standard 16-week courses with the signatures of the student, academic advisor, and course instructor. Withdrawal from short-term classes will be adjusted accordingly. The withdrawn course will remain part of the student’s schedule and will appear on the official transcript with the assigned grade of ‘W.’ There are no grade points or credits awarded for a class from which a student has withdrawn.
After the withdrawal date (eighty percent period) to the last day of the course, students are not permitted to withdraw from a class except in the case of extenuating circumstances.
