| Adding Classes Although wait-listed students get first consideration for available seats in classes, it is still possible for other students to try to add classes once school begins. If there is space available in the class, the instructor will give you a Permission Number. You can add the class online using this Permission Number and the class number. The Permission Number will be valid for the first two weeks of a full-semester class.
Dropping Classes You
may drop classes using e-Services (online),
TES (telephone), or by filing a drop form with the admissions
office. Deadlines for dropping classes and resulting penalties,
if any, are described in the add/drop
date calendar.
It is the student's responsibility to drop from classes in which
they do not plan to attend or are no longer attending. Instructors
may or may not drop students for non-attendance. Students who
drop from classes after the deadline for the last day to drop
for a refund/credit are responsible for all fees.
Late Enrollment and Program Changes
Beginning the second week of instruction, class adds for full semester classes require a permission number. Instructors, at their option, may add students to classes through the end of the second week of instruction. Drops must be processed by published dates to receive refund/credit.
No late class additions for full semester classes will be processed after the second week of class (see calendar for other session deadlines, i.e., 9 week classes). There are exceptions involving approved section switches (i.e., ENGWR 300 for ENGWR 101, SPAN 101 for SPAN 401, etc.) or extenuating circumstances (i.e., accident, illness, family death) that prevented a student from processing the necessary paperwork. Student petition forms for late adds are available at the Admissions offices.
All short-term classes require the Permission Number beginning on the first day of instruction.
Enrollment Fee Payment Deadlines
All fees should be payable at the time of registration. However, there is a grace period of 10 days for students to pay their fees. Non-payment of fees will result in penalties, i.e., being dropped from classes, restrictions from future enrollments, and/or restrictions on processing of official transcript requests. The nature of penalty depends on the time of enrollment during a particular semester.
If you choose to be on a wait list, you do not have to pay fees - yet. However, once you are automatically moved into the class, you are responsible for paying fees within 10 calendar days. Check your wait list status often.
If you no longer want to be on a wait list, you must remove yourself or be responsible for paying the enrollment fee if you are automatically moved into the class at a later date.
Prerequisites
Folsom Lake College , El Dorado and Rancho Cordova Centers require pre- and co-requisites in some courses. It is the intent of Folsom Lake College to guide students in to courses in which they will have the greatest chance for academic success. A prerequisite is a course or skill level you should have before enrolling in a course or program to ensure your success. It is your responsibility to show evidence that you have taken the pre- or co-requisite or have the required skills.
BE PREPARED - Bring copies of your grade reports, transcripts, assessment placement results, or a counselor-approved course placement sheet to the first meeting of each class. A challenge process is available - see your counselor, Admissions & Records, or instructor for details.
REMEMBER - It is your responsibility as a student to demonstrate that you have met the pre- or co-requisite before enrolling in your courses.
Unit Limitations
A full-time student must enroll in and complete a minimum of 12 units. The maximum load is 18 units. Students who wish to enroll in more than 18 units must file an Excess Units form with a counselor prior to adding additional classes.
Waiting Lists
If a class is closed at the time of registration, students must use the online system (or in person) to be placed on the waiting list. Students should put their names on waiting lists only if they intend to take the class if a seat becomes available. Wait-listed students must be present at the first meeting of the class. Students who receive an instructor's approval to add the class will be given a Permission Number to be used to add
the class online or in person.
Wait list eligibility: 12-unit wait list limitation; not already enrolled in another section of the same course.
t is the student's responsibility to check the status of their wait list position, and if they have been added into the class. After the system enrolls a wait-listed student into a class, the student has 10 days to pay the enrollment fees.
