Add / Drop Courses

Students may choose to waitlist a course if it is full. This is done through MyHC and is similar to the registration process.
Students will receive the option to waitlist when a class is closed and must select to be on the waitlist. An automated email will be sent to the student’s school email account when a spot opens in the class. The student will then have 72 hours to register for the course waitlisted. After the first day of class, the student will have 36 hours to register. For more information see our waitlist FAQ page.

Adding Courses

Students may add courses through the first 3 days of instruction of the semester using MyHC. After the 3rd day of instruction, all adds require an instructor’s signature on an add form, and there is a $10 processing fee. Students are not allowed to add classes after the 10th day of instruction. Summer session dates for adding classes are condensed. Please see chart below.

Dropping Courses

Students may drop courses through the first 15 days of instruction of the semester using MyHC and receive a refund. Please note if a student is dropping all courses it is considered a complete withdrawal and the student will need to follow the withdrawal procedure. After the 15^th day of instruction no refund will be given for dropped courses; however, students may drop until the last 15 days of the semester.  Students will need to complete a drop form, and there is a $10 processing fee. A grade of “W” will be given for drops made after the 15^th day, and it will not affect the GPA.

Complete Cancellations/Withdrawals

Students may drop all of their classes before the first day of class by completing the cancellation process and after classes begin by completing the withdrawal process. Students will not be able to do a complete cancellation or withdrawal online. A student who would like to cancel or withdraw will need to visit East End Advising Room 119, HCAdvising@helenacollege.edu or call 447-6911. An advisor will assist with the formal cancellation or withdrawal process.  The dates for refunds are below. The $30 registration fee and $30 application fee are non-refundable.
