ADMISSIONS & REGISTRATION INFORMATION
1. PROCEDURES TO ADD A STUDENT
A. The first day of class, every instructor’s mailbox will have:
1) One (1) temporary roster for each class (yellow sheet)
2) One (1)Wait List (if the class is full) (white sheet)
B. If you do not find a temporary roster in your mailbox, GO TO ADMISSIONS, located in the E building and request that a roster be printed. You may also print your roster online.
C. Procedure for “wait listed” students:
1) At the beginning of the first class, take attendance. If there are seats available, you may sign add cards.
2) You are obligated to sign add cards for “wait listed” students, who are present at the first class, beginning with the top spot on the wait list.
3) Once all “wait listed” students, who are present, are added, you may sign add cards for additional petitioners.
D. Signed add cards must be submitted to Admissions and Records by the student, and processed, before the end of the 2nd week of instruction. You may request that students show you the top blue copy of the add/drop card, with a diagonal slash, dated and initialed by Admissions to verify that a student is officially enrolled in your course.
E. If you sign an add card during the 3rd week of instruction, it must also have a sentence “has been attending since … and add a date during the 1st two weeks of instruction.
F. Students cannot be added after the end of the 3rd week of instruction.
G. You will receive two “clean-up/verification” rosters during the semester:
1) The initial “clean-up” roster will be placed in your mailbox during the second week of instruction. Students who are on your roster and have never attended class MUST be dropped by you (ED CODE 58004) as a “no show.” If you signed an add card for a student and that student’s name does not appear on the roster, or the student hasn’t produced an add card initialed by Admissions, the student did not have the add card processed and is NOT enrolled in your class. Go online and check your roster each week for changes.
2) The second “clean-up” roster will be placed in your mailbox prior to the last day to drop. Please drop all students who are no longer attending. Those students usually appear as “Excessive Absence (EA)”
NOTE: Instructor Change Cards are always available in Admissions. These cards may be used to drop students at any time during the regular drop period, in addition to allowing instructors to reinstate, transfer and change units.
H. When you receive a final roster/grade sheet in your mailbox during the final week, you must give all students whose names appear a grade. No “W” (withdrawal) grades may be assigned. You will not be able to add students to the final roster/grade sheet. Theoretically, a student may have attended your class the entire semester without being enrolled and will not receive credit for the course or a grade.
DO NOT ALLOW STUDENTS WHO DO NOT
REGISTER TO REMAIN IN CLASS.
2. ACADEMIC HOLD POLICY FOR NON-PAYMENT OF ENROLLMENT FEES/TUITION
A. Students who have not paid enrollment fees/tuition will have a hold placed on their records. These students will not be able to:
request or receive transcripts,
add classes that semester,
enroll in classes in subsequent semesters.
B. You will receive DO NOT ADMIT forms in your mailbox identifying students who have not paid enrollment fees/tuition and are enrolled in your class. Send these students to Admissions. DO NOT allow these students to remain in your class.
C. Students can pay fees online or by phone from 7:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. (M-Th).
3. GRADES Faculty are asked to submit grades online.
A. YOUR GRADE SHEETS WILL BE PLACED IN YOUR MAILBOX DURING THE FINAL WEEK:
You may use the bubble sheets to record your grades or you may use the online grade system (see next page for instructions). When you turn in grades, Admissions must collect all documentation you used to record and calculate grades. You must sign and return your yellow temporary roster and your green permanent roster. If you prefer to use a spread sheet in lieu of the provided rosters, please make sure that you record the final grade for each student on the spread sheet—Admissions requires two sources of the final grade—and you must sign the spread sheet, as well as attach both the temporary roster and the green permanent roster, even if they are blank. The online grade system eliminates the need to bubble in the grade sheets but does not release you from turning in the grade sheet and the temporary and green permanent roster. The items that you will be submitting to Admissions will be:
pink grade sheet
yellow temporary roster
green permanent roster
if applicable, class records used to record grades (including final grade) and attendance, i.e. excel spreadsheet, etc.
NOTE: PLEASE SIGN EVERYTHING... These records are historical documentation and are filed in compliance with California State law. If you are not available to meet with a student challenging a grade, these records will be used to respond to the challenge.
IMPORTANT DEADLINE: Fall 07 grades are due in Admissions no later than Tuesday, December 18, 2007.
B. ONLINE GRADE SUBMISSION SYSTEM: This system is fast and easy to use. Although it does not eliminate the requirement of turning in your supporting paperwork, it benefits students requesting certified transcripts. When you submit your grades online, the grades are loaded within 24 hours and are immediately placed on student transcripts. Call the Help Desk (714) 628-4844 for information on training, or Denise Pennock, Registrar (714) 628-4949.
