Student Handbook

2.12 Dropping Classes

Students may drop a class during the first fifteen percent (15%) of the course duration (the census date) without being financially responsible for the class; the class will not appear on the student’s permanent record. Specific drop deadlines for A, B, and Full-term classes are listed in the schedule of classes. Students who register and do not want to be held liable for tuition and fees must drop the class on or before the last day for refund (census date.) Notifying the instructor, the advisor or simply not attending the class is not sufficient to ensure that a student is dropped from the class. To drop a class, students can either drop online through NJC ACCESS, or they can complete an add/drop/registration form and submit the completed form to the Student Success Office, Records Office, or an administrative assistant in the Offices of Deans, Division Chairs, or the Vice President of Academic Affairs.

The teachers make it feel less like a school and more like a group of friends hanging out, while still learning.

I've taken some hard courses that, at the beginning, I would never have thought I could ever get past. It's awesome how dedicated the professors here are!
