REGISTRATION Changes to Registration Add/Drop Beginning on the first day of the quarter, students must obtain permission from the instructor (the instructor's signature) to add a class. Students may add, drop, or change enrollment sections during the first five days of the quarter; however, permission of the instructor is required. For the first five days of the quarter, students may drop classes from their schedules from the YVCC website or in person. Courses dropped through the 10th day of classes do not appear on the transcript. Courses dropped from the eleventh day to three weeks prior to finals (seventh week of the quarter) will appear on the student’s transcript as a “W”. Students who stop attending classes without officially dropping may receive an “F” or a “V” grade at the discretion of the instructor. Classes concentrated within shorter than tenweek sessions are given deadlines proportionate to the standard length of a quarter. For summer quarter deadlines, consult the class schedule for specific dates. Schedule changes are the responsibility of the student. Failure to change enrollment or withdraw officially constitutes sufficient cause to receive whatever grade the instructor deems appropriate.
before the quarter begins, the automatic registration of students on the waitlist will stop. Once the waitlist is no longer active, students must attend the first day of class and the faculty member will decide whether or not to sign in students regardless of their status on the waitlist. Placing yourself on a waitlist does not count as registered credit. Students receiving funding based on a specific number of credits must pay their tuition to meet their funding requirments or they will be dropped from their classes. Due to high enrollment, students cannot register for different sections of the same course in the same quarter or be on more than four waitlists. The Registration Office edits for these occurrences and will remove students from second class selection. Helpful Hints •

• Withdrawal from College All students wishing to withdraw from college (drop all courses) during the first five days of the quarter may do so by using the YVCC website or by completing an add/drop/withdrawal form which they must take to the Registration and Records Office for processing. Students who stop attending classes without officially withdrawing may receive an “F” or a “V” grade on their transcripts. For official withdrawals completed during days one through ten, no record will appear on the transcript. The last day for withdrawal from college is the same as that for dropping a course: three weeks prior to the beginning of final exams or as specified for summer quarter or shorter sessions. Withdrawals processed during this period result in “W” grades being entered on the permanent transcript. For additional information, please contact the Registration and Records Office. Students must not assume they will be dropped from a class if they stop attending. Failure to drop a class may result in a “F” grade.
Waitlist When a class has reached maximum enrollment limit, students may place themselves on a waitlist for the class. This won’t guarantee a spot, but if one becomes open the first person on the waitlist will be automatically registered into classes according to their placement on the waitlist. On the Sunday

Use the Student Portal at www.yvcc.edu to check your waitlist status. Remove yourself from waitlists online or with registration staff from Yakima/Grandview campuses. Remove yourself from classes you no longer want on the waitlist otherwise you may be automatically enrolled. Check the status of your waitlist position on a daily basis. Place yourself on a maximum of four waitlists, don’t register for one section and add yourself to a different section of the same class. If you choose to seek a signature to enroll, you must be in the class the first day it meets. There is no guarantee the instructor will sign you into the class.
