Buying Your Textbooks

Students should take a copy of their class schedule to the College Store. The staff can assist in determining which books are needed. It's a good idea to have textbooks the first day of classes.

Attending Classes

It is very important to attend all class meetings, especially the very first day. If you are not present in class, your instructor may drop you and give your seat to someone else. Anytime you cannot be in class, advise your instructor in advance-unexcused absences affect your grades. Instructors will usually advise students on the first day of class about methods of communicating with him/her.

Dropping Classes

Remember, it is your responsibility to inform the school when you are dropping classes. Check the College Calendar and Schedule of Classes for drop deadlines. You do not need the instructor's signature to drop a class.

If you merely stop attending classes, you may receive failing or incomplete grades. Instructors do not automatically drop you if you do not attend. Many students wind up on probation because they do not drop their classes on time. Be aware of deadlines and protect your grades!
