Entry Codes
An entry code is a five-digit random number that is needed to enroll for a
class when permission or a prerequisite is required. Entry codes for classes requiring permission are only distributed by the class instructor, department coordinator or an adviser in the Educational Planning and Advising Center. For prerequisite classes, entry codes are needed when Highline does not have a record that a student has met a prerequisite. When a student provides documentation that demonstrates the prerequisite has been met, an entry code will be provided. An entry code may be used only once.

Photo Identification
Every student enrolled in credit classes is required to have an official Highline Student Photo Identification card. The card is free for students who paid the admission application fee. Students will be charged to have a card replaced. Photo Identification cards are issued in the Registration office in Building 6.

Quarterly Class Schedule
A schedule of classes—listing times, locations, special fees, and instructors for all classes offered by Highline—is published before each academic quarter.
Also included in the quarterly class schedule are important dates. The schedule is available in the Registration office in the Educational Planning
and Advising Center, at Admissions/Entry Services, and on the Web at http://onlineschedule.highline.edu/.

Class Enrollment and Payment
The Registration office in Building 6 handles all enrollment procedures and maintains all student records. During the registration process, if a class is already full, a student should either choose an alternate class or place his or her name on a class waiting list. (See “Waiting List” for more information.) Then, continue the registration process. The Cashier office in Building 6, lower level, collects tuition and fees.

Veterans Affairs-funded students must ensure that their classes meet VA-approved educational objectives and must complete an online application
form at www.va.gov. A copy of the form must be submitted to the Veterans Affairs office. Selected programs of study are approved by a Washington State Approving Agency for enrollment of those eligible for benefits under Title 38 and Title 10, U.S. Code.

Highline reserves the right to change fees without notice to comply with state or college regulations or policies.

Auditing a Class
Students who wish to attend classes but do not want to receive credits may audit classes. Audit students must register and pay for classes. A student may change from credit to audit or from audit to credit before the 15th instructional day of the quarter. The Department of Veterans Affairs and
other governmental agencies will not pay for audited coursework.

Class Schedule Changes
Once students have registered for classes, they may change their class schedules via the Web up to the third day of the quarter or by submitting an “Add/Drop Request” form to the Registration office. This form is available in the Registration office, faculty buildings, the Educational Planning and Advising Center, and Admissions/Entry Services. Deadlines for making class changes are published in the quarterly class schedule.

After the third day of class, the “Add/Drop Request” form must be used for
all changes in registration:

Students with questions should consult with their advisers or the Educational Planning and Advising Center before making any changes.

Adding a Class:
Students may add classes to their schedule until the third instructional day of the quarter using any of the regular registration procedures. After the third day of the quarter, however, students must obtain the instructor’s signature on the “Add/Drop Request” form available at the Registration office.

No class enrollments are allowed after the third day without the instructor’s signature. No class enrollments are allowed—even with the instructor’s signature—after the last add date as published in quarterly class schedule’s “Important Dates” section unless the class is a

Veterans Affairs-funded students should consult with the Veterans Services office before adding a class.

Auditing a Class:
A student can select to audit a class instead of receiving a grade by completing the “Add/Drop Request” form before the 15th day of the quarter. The instructor’s signature is needed to change from credit to audit.

Late Adding a Class:
To add a class after the published deadline, the student will need to submit
an “Add/Drop Request” form signed by the Instructor of the class, approving the request. The form is submitted to Registration and the student receives an updated copy of his or her class schedule. A non-refundable Late Course Add Fee will be assessed for each class registered late.

Waiting List:
When a course section is full, students may place themselves on a waiting list for that section. As positions become available, those on the list will automatically be registered, in the order they appear on the list. Students
are responsible for checking their schedules to see if they have been added
to a class. Once added to the waitlist, students must attend the first day of class or may forfeit their status. The waitlist is closed at 8 a.m. the first day
of the quarter. After that time instructor signature on an “Add/Drop Request Form” is required.

Class and College Withdrawal
A student, the instructor, or the institution can initiate a student’s withdrawal from classes. A W signifies that the student has initiated the withdrawal activity. A WI signifies that the instructor has assigned the withdrawal. When a withdrawal (W or WI grade) is posted on a transcript, no credit or numerical grade is associated with the record for that class.

Student-Initiated Withdrawal:
Students may withdraw from a class any time prior to the end of the ninth week of the quarter. Summer quarter or other special session classes must be dropped earlier, so students should check the quarterly class schedule for the last day to drop classes.

Students who drop a class prior to the end of the 15th instructional day of
the quarter (an equivalent date will be listed in the quarterly class schedule for summer) will not have any grade posted on their transcripts for the class.

After the 15th instructional day, students who withdraw from a class will
have a W recorded on the transcript.

Instructor-Initiated Withdrawal:
Instructors may initiate a withdrawal for students who do not attend classes, but they are not obligated to do so. The primary responsibility for
withdrawing from classes rests with students. Instructors, at their discretion, may withdraw students who

Students who are withdrawn during the first five days of the quarter will be eligible for a full refund of applicable tuition and fees.

Institution-Initiated Withdrawal:
Highline may withdraw a student from a class if the student has been suspended academically, has not paid tuition, or whose conduct has resulted in a disciplinary suspension.

Withdrawal from College:
Note: Students receiving veterans’ benefits or other financial assistance
must notify the appropriate funding office (i.e., Veterans Services, Financial Aid Services) of their withdrawal to avoid being indebted to the federal or state government.

To withdraw from Highline students must complete an “Add/Drop Request” form and return it to the Registration office. The forms are available in the Registration lobby, faculty buildings, the Educational Planning and Advising Center, and Admissions/Entry Services.

Students receiving veterans’ benefits must notify the Veterans Services
office of their withdrawal to avoid being indebted to the Veterans Administration.

Withdrawal is official when the form is received in the Registration office; however, no official withdrawals are granted after the last withdrawal date printed in the quarterly class schedule.

Classes dropped during the first 15 instructional days (except summer
quarter—see the quarterly class schedule for actual day) of the academic quarter will not be recorded on the student’s official transcript.

If students simply stop attending classes and do not officially withdraw from college at the Registration office, they may be graded as having failed (0.0) each class in which they were registered. At the end of the quarter, instructors may elect not to issue a WI grade.
