How to Add, Drop, Withdrawal From Classes

Class Schedule

If you are a current student, the class schedule is available in ctcLink. If you are not yet a Highline student, view the class schedule here. 

Enrollment Dates

All students are assigned an enrollment date for when they can begin registering for classes for the next quarter. This enrollment date is based off of the number of credits you have completed and student type. If you haven’t already been admitted to Highline College, you’ll need to apply first. 

Please refer to the Enrollment Deadlines > Student Home Page or View Deadlines in ctcLink Mobile for class academic calendar deadlines, start and end times specific to each course.

After Classes Start

It is important to be aware of add/drop dates which can affect the amount of your refund and grading for courses you enrolled in.

Withdraw online in ctcLink Student Portal or submit an email to registration@highline.edu including the class add/drop form.

• Please include your email, name, ctcLink Student ID, class name and number.
• Students may drop a course subject to the grade deadlines on the academic calendar:
  • No grade is reported usually within the first ten days of the term (eight days for the Summer term). Please see the calendar for official dates.
  • With a “W” withdrawal grade. This date is part way through the term. Please see the calendar for official dates.

Withdrawal Requirements

Regular attendance in all enrolled classes is required. Non-attendance does not constitute an official drop or withdrawal. If you do not officially drop or withdraw and simply stop attending class(es), you may be graded as a 0.0 grade. At the end of the quarter, instructors are required to issue a grade.

• VA-funded students should consult with Highline’s Veterans Services staff before dropping classes.
• If you are receiving financial aid, consult with the Financial Aid Office before dropping or withdrawing.

Refunds

The refund policy is in the college catalog. The amount of the refund depends on the date you drop or withdraw. If it is after the 40% refund deadline, no refund is issued. To request an exception, you can submit a registration petition for an exception to the policy. Exceptions will only be approved under certain conditions.
