Adding and Dropping a Course During the Drop/Add Period

For full semester courses, NECC’s drop/add period begins the first day of the semester and runs for one calendar week. During this period of time students may complete the following registration transactions:

  1. Drop any course they have pre-registered into and no withdrawal grade is assigned to the course; it is not recorded on a student’s transcript and the student receives a full refund for any payment made for the course(s)
  2. Students may add courses if the following criteria are met:
    • Face-to-Face or Hybrid class (excluding iHealth courses), has not met yet and the course is open.
    • Student receives written permission (signed registration form or an email giving the student permission to add) from the instructor to be added or overloaded into the class.
    • Online courses and iHealth courses may only be added prior to the first date of the term (College’s first day of classes), unless the instructor has given written permission (signs registration form, or emails the student permission to add), regardless of date of orientation or first class meeting.

Once a class has met once, students may drop, but they may NOT add into the course, unless by permission of the instructor.

Please note: Please consult with Enrollment Services or an Academic Advisor regarding adding and dropping courses that do not meet for the full semester.
