Adding and Dropping Classes

Adding Classes

You can register online up to 7a.m. on the morning of the first class session. After the start of the first class session, you must have appropriate online approval from your instructor in order to add the class. Please note that approvals are valid for two business days. Once the approval has been given, you can add the course one of the following ways:

- Online through your Bobcat Web Account
- In person at the Enrollment Services Office at any COCC campus
- Call Enrollment Services at 541-383-7500

There is a $30 late registration fee for adding a class(es) after the second week of the term and $50 if it's after final grade roster have been printed.

Additionally, you may add yourself to the wait list up to 7p.m. on the Sunday before the term begins without an instructor's approval.

Note: classes designated as "Online" need online approval to add beginning 7a.m. on the first day of the term.

Dropping Classes

Not attending classes does not constitute a drop. You are responsible for dropping classes by the appropriate deadlines in order to avoid tuition/fee charges and not receive a grade.

Need to drop a class? Follow the instructions below.

For Short-term Credit Classes which span more than two weeks but not more than seven weeks in the term: The class must be dropped no later than three days after the class start date in order to be eligible for a 100% refund. Some specially priced courses do not follow this policy. No grade will appear on the student's transcript.

Refunds

If eligible for a refund, the refund is processed within three weeks. You may choose your refund method online through your Bobcat Web Account -- click here for instructions. Any debt owed to COCC will processed against a refund first, and then the net balance will be remitted to the student.

Note: Refunds are calculated on a per course basis. For example, if a student drops and adds an equal number of credit courses after the refund period, full tuition and fees will be charged for the new class and will not be refunded for the dropped class.
