Adding or Dropping Classes

Good Standing consists of:

• Having an active application in the State Center Community College District (SCCCD) at either Fresno City College, Reedley College, Clovis Community College, or Madera Community College
• No Registration Holds
• No Academic Holds*
• No Business Office Holds with any college in the SCCCD

* If you are on Academic Probation you must meet with a counselor to be cleared for registration.

Registration Deadlines

• Pre-Registration Period - The time period starting from the student’s registration date through to the Friday prior to the start of the class. All full- and short term classes may be enrolled, subject to availability, at any time during the student's Pre-Registration Period.
• Add Period - The time period from the start of the class and before 20 percent of the class meetings have occurred. All full- and short term classes may be added with Instructor Authorization at any time during that class's Add Period.
• Pass/No Pass Requests - Receiving a Pass/No Pass designation in lieu of a letter grade can be elected by submitting the  Pass/No Pass Form online no later than the Monday prior to the final week of class. See Admissions & Records for the specific deadline for your class in order for it to be processed prior to grading. If you request Pass/No Pass you may not change it back to standard grading after the class has ended (Title 5 § 55022). 

Dropping Classes

You do not need to be in good standing to drop classes from your schedule. However, if you are not in good standing, you may not drop them in Self-Service. For assistance, you may either come in person to the Admissions and Records counter, email registration@fresnocitycollege.edu from your my.scccd Student Email, or use the Student Request Form.

Drop Deadlines

• Pre-Registration Period - The time period starting from the student’s registration date through to the Friday prior to the start of the class. All full- and short-term classes may be dropped at any time during the Pre-Registration period. Fees paid for classes dropped during this period will be credited to the student's account. Classes dropped during the Pre-Registration Period will not appear on the End of Term Official Transcript.
• Early Drop Period - The time period from the start of the class and before 10% of the class meetings have occurred. All full- and short-term classes may be dropped prior to 5:00 pm on the last day of the Early Drop Period to have fees paid for these classes credited to your account. Classes dropped during the Early Drop Period will not appear on the End of Term Official Transcript.
• Late Add Period - The time period from 10% and before 20% of the class meetings have occurred. All full- and short-term classes may be dropped at any time during the Late Add Period. There will be No Refund for classes dropped during this period, even if the class was added during this period. Classes dropped during the Late Add Period will not appear on your End of Term Official Transcript.
• Late Drop Period - The time period from 20% and before 50% of the class meetings have occurred. All full- and short-term classes may be dropped at any time during the Late Drop Period. Classes dropped during this period will be considered a “withdrawal” and will appear on your End of Term Official Transcript with a “W” instead of a letter grade. Although they appear on the Transcript, they do not affect the Grade Point Average (GPA). There will be No Refund for classes dropped during this period.
• Post Drop Period – Once the Late Drop Period has ended (once 50% of the class meetings have occurred), classes may only be dropped if the withdrawal is caused by Extenuating Circumstances. Classes dropped for circumstances beyond your control will be considered an “excused withdrawal” and will appear on your End of Term Official Transcript with a “EW” instead of a letter grade. There will be No Refund for classes dropped during this period. See the Withdraw for Extenuating Circumstances section for complete details.
