Additional Registration Information

Class Audits | Wait Lists | Schedule Changes
To Add a Class | To Drop a Class
To Officially Withdraw from a Class | Administrative Withdrawal from a Class
Registration Appointments | Former Student Information | Refunds

Students must be officially registered in order to attend classes. Students who are new to Cascadia must register in person. Returning students may register in person or via the web. The quarterly schedule of classes contains registration instruction and course information.

Appointment dates for registration are assigned to new students after they complete the following preregistration steps. These include completing an application for admission, submitting high school and/or college transcripts, and placement testing when necessary. Registration sessions for new students will include an orientation to Cascadia, and advising for placement and class scheduling purposes. This is an important opportunity to meet Cascadia Academic Advisors, faculty and other college staff members.

Continuing students will receive registration information each quarter. For fall, winter and spring quarters, students with the greatest number of accumulated credits earned at Cascadia register first. This permits students to advance in the registration order each quarter they are in attendance. Summer quarter registration is on a first-come, first-served basis.

Class Status

Students must be officially registered in order to attend classes. All students must officially register or add classes with Enrollment Services by the Last Day to Add Classes each quarter.

Course Prerequisites

Students must meet course prerequisites. Students risk being administratively withdrawn from course for which they do not meet prerequisites.

Class Audits

The student who audits a course must meet course prerequisites, register and pay for the course, and participate in class work at the instructor's discretion. No credit is earned, and the audit grade of "N" is not used in GPA calculation. Students may initiate, without instructor's permission, a change to or from audit status up to the end of the second week of the quarter (adjusted for summer quarter, please see the Summer Schedule of Classes for dates). A change may be made, with the instructor's permission, in weeks three through six of the quarter. After the sixth week, no change in status may be made.

Wait Lists

The waitlist feature offers students a fair and consistent method of being enrolled in a full class if an opening occurs. There is a waitlist available for all full classes. Students may place their name on 3 waitlists but may not be in different sections of the same class, time conflicts or unauthorized over 24 credit status. Each waitlist will hold 24 students. The last day to add your name to a waitlist will be the Monday prior to the start of the quarter. Students who choose to place their name on a wait list will be automatically enrolled for the wait listed class when a space becomes available. As space becomes available in a full class, the top name on the wait list will move into the class. Once a student places their name on a wait list, the student must check their schedule online daily at Cascadia's website or with Enrollment Services, Kodiak Corner, to find out if they have been registered for the class and to be informed of tuition and fees.

Students are responsible for:

  • Checking their schedule daily to see if automated enrollment occurred from the wait list.
  • Paying tuition and fees by the tuition deadline. If automated enrollment from the waitlist occurs after the tuition deadline, tuition and fees are due within three days of automatic enrollment.  Non-payment will result in the automated enrollment class being dropped from your schedule.
  • Clearing scheduling conflicts such as time conflicts, enrollment into the same class-different section, or unauthorized over 24 credit status. If scheduling conflicts are not cleared by 8am of the next business day, Enrollment Services will automatically drop the last enrolled class that caused the scheduling conflict.
  • Clearing any unusual action hold including parking fines, library dues, outstanding balances on student accounts, unreturned calculator holds, or unpaid fees prior to the automated enrollment. If a space becomes available and the student's account is not cleared from the unusual action hold, the student will be removed from the wait list and the spot will be offered to the next person on the wait list.

If a student decides to no longer be on the wait list, you may remove your name from the wait list through the Cascadia's website at Student Online Services or with Enrollment Services, Kodiak Corner.

Schedule Changes

Students changing their class schedules should be aware that additional tuition, fees or qualified tuition refunds may apply. Students on financial aid should check with the Student Financial Services Office, Kodiak Corner, 425.352.8860 to see if changes affect their aid status.

To Add a Class

  • Students may wish to use online registration to add classes to their schedule prior to the beginning of the quarter.
     
  • Students may register in person in the Enrollment Services Office and may add classes to their schedule up through the tenth day of the quarter (date is adjusted for summer quarter).
     
  • After the quarter has started, instructor permission is required to add a class.
     
  • For self-paced lab classes, students may register through the 40th calendar day of the quarter (date is adjusted for summer quarter).

To Drop a Class

  • Students may drop classes using online or in-person with the Enrollment Services Office, Kodiak Corner, through the 10th day of the quarter. (Date is adjusted for summer quarter.)
     
  • Instructor permission is not required.
     
  • No grade will appear on the student's transcript for courses dropped during this period.

To Officially Withdraw From a Class

Students may withdraw from a class through online registration. Beginning the 11th calendar day of the quarter through the sixth week of the quarter (date is adjusted for summer quarter), students can withdraw from classes via the web or by completing an add/drop form and going to the Enrollment Services Office for processing. Students who fail to follow the procedure for officially withdrawing will receive a grade in accordance with the instructor's grading policy.

Administrative Withdrawal From a Class

Students who fail to attend class by the end of the second class meeting or fail to contact their instructor regarding their attendance in class by the end of the second class meeting, may be administratively withdrawn from the class by their instructor. Students who do not meet course prerequisites will be administratively withdrawn from class at the instructor's discretion.

Registration Appointments

Cascadia uses a computerized registration process for assigning appointments to returning students. Appointments are automatically assigned according to the number of credits earned at Cascadia. Note:  Students cannot register before their appointed date and time.

Former Student Information

Students who previously attended Cascadia, but have not attended for one or more quarters should contact Enrollment Services at 425.352.8860 to set up a registration appointment, and update your student information such as mailing address and phone number online through student online services.
