Adding & Dropping Classes

Prior to the first day of a semester, students may add/drop classes in one of three ways.

1. Online
2. In person in the Office of Student Affairs or Education Centers
3. By fax request signed & dated by the student

After the first day of a semester, students who have not previously registered for classes will incur a late registration fee. Students who have registered for classes but wish to add or drop coursework can do so online the first week of classes for the semester, in person in the Office of Student Affairs or Education Centers, or by Fax request signed by the student.. Refer to Course Schedules, Catalog, and Calendar for deadline dates for Adding/Dropping classes. If the change in schedule causes a decrease in credit hours, a prorated tuition will be refunded up until the last day for refund. Please refer to Course Schedules, Catalog, and Calendar for refund periods. If the change in schedule causes an increase in credit hours, any additional tuition and fees will be due at time of registration.

During Fall and Spring semesters, after the 12th class day (including Saturdays) until the last day to drop with a "W", students wanting to withdraw from one or more classes must either initiate the withdraw process in person in the Student Service Office or Education Centers or send a signed & dated fax. Online services will not be available to withdraw from classes after the last day to add/drop classes. Students withdrawing from a course will receive a grade of "W" on their transcript.

Six-Drop Limit

Students who enrolled in a Texas public institution of higher education as a first-time freshman in the fall of 2007 or after are limited to no more than six drops during their undergraduate career. The six-drop limit includes courses taken at any Texas public institution of higher education. All courses dropped after the official day of record for the semester will be included in the six-course limit unless the student withdraws from all classes, or the drop is authorized by an appropriate college official as an approved drop exception.

Enrollment at Weatherford College will not be prohibited if transcripts of all Texas institutions the student has been enrolled in are not made available to the College. However, students may not be allowed to drop a course if they have not provided the College with all transcripts and the appropriate College official is concerned that
in allowing the drop, the six-drop might be exceeded.

Students reaching the limit of six drops, either at WC or with transferred hours included, will not be allowed to drop any course, unless they are withdrawing from all courses.

Courses that are dropped on different dates of the semester, but culminate in a withdrawal (student receives a W for all courses that semester) will not be counted towards the six-drop limit.
