General Information

MISSION
Coffeyville Community College is dedicated to identifying and addressing community and area needs, providing accessible, affordable quality education and training, and promoting opportunities for lifelong learning.

REGISTRATION PROCESS
Registration consists of students selecting appropriate courses, program planning with an academic advisor and payment of tuition and fees to the College or by enrolling in and arranging acceptable payment plan options through the FACTS Payment Service online at www.coffeyville.edu prior to the first day of classes.

Students should plan their academic programs carefully in order to keep subsequent changes to a minimum. FAILURE TO ATTEND CLASS, ONCE REGISTERED, DOES NOT CANCEL REGISTRATION IN ANY CLASS OR CLASSES, nor does it release a student's financial obligation.

SWING FRIDAY
Most classes on the CCC main campus operate on a swing Friday schedule. Swing Friday means that MWF and TRF classes meet on alternating Fridays unless otherwise indicated. The first week of the semester will be a Monday/ Wednesday/Friday week with students attending their MWF classes on that Friday. The second week of the semester will be a Tuesday/Thursday/Friday week with students attending their TRF classes on that Friday. This rotation continues throughout the semester. MWF and TRF weeks are noted in the student handbook, student calendar, CCC calendar and reminders are posted throughout campus offices and hallways.

CHANGES IN REGISTRATION
If a student wishes to change class time, drop a class or add a class he/she must contact the Registrar's Office and complete a Schedule Change Form. The procedure is not finalized until the student receives authorized signatures on the form including a signature from the Registrar's Office and the student's academic advisor.

Failure to change registration, except according to the above procedure, will result in a grade of "F" recorded on the permanent record of the student. A notation of "W" (withdrawal) will be made on the student's permanent record if he/she officially withdraws prior to the published withdrawal date on the Master Calendar.

Adding a Course
Students who wish to add a course after their initial enrollment must complete a Schedule Change Form in the Registrar's Office.
1. A student will be allowed to add a course up to and including the Final Add Date as indicated on the Master Calendar. The Final Add date is determined by calculating twenty-five (25) percent of the allotted class time. Courses not meeting the entire semester will be calculated in the same manner.
2. Any class added after the semester begins requires the signature of the class instructor and assigned advisor.
3. If a student adds a class after making their initial payment or payment plan arrangements, they assume full financial obligations for any tuition and fees associated with the course(s) added.

Dropping a Course
Students who wish to drop a course after their initial enrollment must complete a Schedule Change Form in the Registrar's Office.
1. A student who withdraws from a course after the 20th day of classes will receive a "W" (no grade or penalty) for the course.
2. A student will be allowed to drop a course up to and including the Final Drop Day as indicated on the Master Calendar. The Final Drop Day is determined by calculating eighty (80) percent of the allotted class time. Courses not meeting the entire semester will be calculated in the same manner.
3. A student remains responsible for payment of tuition and fees if the drop occurs after the tuition refund date as indicated on the Master Calendar.

Withdrawal from College
A student who wishes to withdraw from the College before the end of the semester must complete an official Schedule Change Form and confer with the Director of Academic Advisement, Director of Financial Aid, Registrar and Business Office Clerk. A student remains responsible for payment of tuition and fees after the tuition refund date. Additionally, a student who attends less than sixty (60) percent of the allotted class time and receives federal financial aid will be responsible for returning a portion of that aid. A student who officially withdraws from College before the withdrawal deadline will receive a "W" (no credit or penalty) for each course.
