How to Add a Full-Semester Course After the Semester has Begun

In order to register for courses that begin within the first two weeks of the semester a unique Add Code, issued by the instructor, is required. Please follow the instructions below:

  1. Obtain an Add/Drop form from an Admissions Office.
  2. Attend the first class session of each class you wish to add.
  3. If there is space available, the instructor will provide you with a 4-digit Add Code you will use to register in the class.
  4. Register yourself in the class prior to the end of the first two weeks of the semester using one of our Registration methods.

Important Reminders

  • You must have a current application on file and processed prior to registering for classes.
  • If you obtain an instructor signature in lieu of an Add Code, you must register in person at an Admissions Office
  • Late Start or Fast Track classes may be added prior to their start date without an Add Code, provided there is still space in the class (if the class is full, you must follow the same steps as indicated above)
