What do I do if the class I want to take is closed?
At the time of registration, if a class that you want to sign up for is closed, you may try to add the class by attending the first time it meets. If there is space available in the class, the instructor will give you an add slip or a sticker with an add code. Your next step is to take the add slip to the Student Activities Center the first two weeks of school and for the mid- term classes to the Admissions Office. If you have a sticker you can complete registration through MyECC on your own, unless prerequisite courses (e.g. A condition of enrollment that a student is required to meet before enrolling in a course) have not been met or cleared. To clear a prerequisite, you must go to the Counseling and Student Success Office and bring transcripts from an accredited college demonstrating you met the prerequisite course with a “C” or better grade, and the course(s) are equivalent to ECC courses. You may also seek the advice of a counselor who may suggest an alternate class and inform you of other options available to you.
What is GPA?
GPA stands for grade point average. Letter grades are given the following point values: A = 4 points
B = 3 points
C = 2 points
D = 1 points F = 0 points
Do I have to repeat a class in which I received a “D,” “F,” or “NC/NP” grade?
There is no general college regulation requiring the repetition of courses in which you received a substandard grade. However, certain programs of study require a “C” grade in required courses. If you elect to repeat a class in which you received a “D,” “F,” or “NC/NP,” the “new” grade will appear on your permanent record. Though the substandard grade will not be calculated in your grade point average (GPA), it will not be removed from your transcript. You are only given two opportunities to repeat the substandard grade. Please check with out-of-state and private institutions if they acknowledge this ECC policy.
How do I withdraw/drop from a class?
To withdraw from a class, log on to your MyECC account and make sure to print a receipt for your records. Assistance is available during the first two weeks of school in the Student Activities Center. “W’s” will be used as factors for progress probation and dismissal procedures. Dropping a class before the second week of school will not put a “W” on your permanent record. Instructors do not drop you from a class -- it is the RESPONSIBILITY OF THE STUDENT.
