Registration
A student becomes officially enrolled in a class by registering for it. The registration process includes selection of classes, submission of a completed class registration form or completion of our online registration process, and payment or billing of tuition and fees. All previous fines and debts to the college must be paid before a new registration may be accepted. Detailed registration procedures are available at EverettCC.edu/Classes.
Registration times for currently enrolled students are assigned prior to each registration period; the assigned times are based on cumulative credit hours earned at Everett Community College.
Students that have completed:
- 58+ credits will be assigned the 1st day
- 16 - 57.9 credits will be assigned the 2nd day
- 0 - 15.9 credits will be assigned the 3rd day
- Students that have only taken Transitional Studies classes will be assigned the 3rd day
Completed classes are recorded on a student’s EvCC transcript.
Students who have not attended EvCC within the past four quarters need to re-apply and can register during open enrollment, as long as there are no registration holds on their account, and they meet all class prerequisites. Some classes may require instructor permission for registering.
Starting the 3rd day of the quarter, instructor permission is required to register in classes that have already started.
Registration requests after the 10th day of the quarter must be approved by the dean of the division as well as the instructor.
For early/late start classes, students must follow the specific deadlines noted on the online class schedule.
Students receiving services through the Center for Disability Services (CDS) may be eligible for priority registration. Students must contact the Center for Disability Services at least six weeks prior to the beginning of the quarter in which enrollment is desired. Students who are unable to meet the six-week deadline may enroll in the same manner as other students; however, necessary aids may not be available.
Students receiving services through the Veteran Resource Center (VRC) may be eligible for priority registration. Students must contact the Veteran Resource Center for eligibility determination.
Full-time Status
For financial aid recipients, veterans, insurance, and all other enrollment verification purposes, full-time status is defined as enrollment in a minimum of 12 credits in a given quarter.
Part-time status is enrollment in 11 credits or less per quarter. Half-time status is enrollment in 6 to 11 credits per quarter.
Note: For summer quarters only, the Veteran Resource Center establishes the minimum credits needed for full-time status for veterans.
Waitlists
When a class reaches its enrollment capacity, a waitlist may be established. Some classes may not have a waitlist. As space becomes available in the class, the student may be moved from the waitlist into the class and standard tuition deadlines apply if this results in an additional charge on the account. Students are not charged tuition and fees while they are on the waitlist.
Students are moved off the waitlist in the order they were placed on it and if they meet all the criteria. Students are responsible for monitoring their waitlist status through ctcLink. Students may also be moved off the waitlist into open classes of similar modalities and class times if there is enrollment demand, at the discretion of the Instruction Office.
There may be cases where enrollment from the waitlist may not be allowed:
Waitlists move students into classes through the end of the second day of the quarter. Starting the third day of the quarter, waitlists are purged and all enrollment into classes requires instructor permission. Students can no longer join a waitlist once it is purged.
For early/late start classes, students must monitor waitlist availability on ctcLink.
Students may obtain a permission code issued by the instructor to register for the class after the second day of the quarter. Instructors set the expiration date at the moment the code is issued.
Written instructor permission may also be provided via email or a physical signature on an Add/Drop form available in the Enrollment Services Lobby. Written instructor permission is only valid for two business days once the quarter starts. Written permission may be forwarded to registration@everettcc.edu or submitted in person to Enrollment Services.
Attendance and Withdrawal Policy
During the first week of the quarter, it is important that students attend all classes for which they are registered.
For in-person classes, a student who does not attend by the beginning of the second class meeting in the quarter, and who has not made prior arrangements with the course instructor, may be dropped from the course immediately at the beginning of the second class meeting at the discretion of the instructor.
For online classes, a student who does not log on to the class by the end of the second day of the quarter, does not complete mandatory first week assignments or has not made prior arrangements with the course instructor, may be dropped from the course at the discretion of the instructor.
For classes that meet both in-person and online or a combination of different class modalities, instructors may use a combination of in-person and online participation to determine if a student should be dropped for non-attendance.
Although it is recommended best practice to report students for non-attendance, faculty are not contractually required to take attendance. The college does not always withdraw the student for non-attendance. The deadline for an instructor to report a student for non-attendance is the 10th day of the quarter (or eighth day for summer quarter.)
A student who is not withdrawn by the college or does not officially withdraw themselves may be issued a failing grade by the course instructor, based on non-attendance.
Students withdrawn by the college during the first week under this policy will receive a refund of tuition and fees, if due. Students who are not withdrawn by the instructor, or who do not withdraw themselves, are not eligible for a refund. See the tuition and refund policy in the next section. Students are responsible for ascertaining their class registration status.
Registration Process and Deadlines
Schedule changes can be made online via ctcLink, by completing an Add/Drop form in the Enrollment Services office, or by emailing registration@everettcc.edu. Students are unable to add or drop classes over the phone or via text.
Students can add classes on a space available basis without instructor permission via ctcLink through the second day of the quarter. Starting on the third day of the quarter, students can register for class with instructor permission.
Students who wish to drop a class for a full refund and no record on their transcript must drop their class(es) before the sixth instructional day (fourth day for summer quarter). Students can drop classes online, via email or in-person with Enrollment Services through the eighth week of the quarter (sixth week of summer quarter.) Instructors do not have the capability to drop students. Students are responsible for dropping their classes online via ctcLink or in writing with Enrollment Services. Please refer to EverettCC.edu/Deadlines for all refund and registration deadlines.
When a student withdraws from a class, the date the Enrollment Services office receives the completed add/drop form or the date of the electronic transaction is the official date of the withdrawal. All transactions must be completed by the deadline. Students are advised to consult EverettCC.edu/Deadlines. Most classes fall under the regular schedule of deadlines, but some self-support classes and some classes with early/late start and end times may have different deadlines.
Simply failing to attend a class does not constitute a drop or withdrawal. Students who wish to avoid a failing grade, or who wish to qualify for a refund, must drop class(es) by the stated deadline.
The college’s refund policy applies only to students who withdraw officially and drop their classes online in ctcLink or with Enrollment Services. See Tuition and Fees Refund Policy.
Students with questions about the procedure of dropping a class should contact the Enrollment Services office.
