Tuition Fee Waivers: If you have not already done so, apply for a tuition fee waiver BEFORE registering for classes. Complete the FAFSA or California Dream Act application to see if you qualify for financial assistance.

Attend First Day of Class: Make sure to attend the first day of class in order to avoid being dropped! Information and expectations presented in the first class meeting are critical to successfully participate in each class. If the class has a Wait List, students enrolled in that class who do not attend the first day may be dropped.

Do Not Assume Instructors Will Automatically Drop You: Although you may be dropped for non-attendance, ultimately students Are responsible for dropping themselves to qualify for a fee refund and avoid F grades.
