ADDING / DROPPING Guidelines
Each student is responsible for the ADDING & DROPPING of classes via CPReg. If unable to take a class currently in your schedule, drop the unwanted class(es) so another student may add. It is extremely important that students review their current class schedule to ensure accuracy.
IMPORTANT: Print your Schedule from my.calpoly.edu
ADDING AN OPEN CLASS
Students may add open classes during their registration rotation period through the last day of open enrollment on CPReg. Open enrollment follows the Registration Rotation Cycle and continues through the Thursday prior to the first day of classes.
SWAPPING a CLASS : IMPORTANT INFORMATION! Please Review! (Temporarily out of service)
WAITLISTING FOR A CLOSED CLASS
Students may place themselves on WAITLISTS for closed class(es) and may be automatically enrolled into the course, IF a seat becomes available and course requirements are met. Students must be sure that all course prerequisite and/or requirements are met prior to placing themselves on a class waitlist to ensure for proper waitlisting registration. Check the Quarterly Schedule and Cal Poly Catalog (available online at www.calpoly.edu/~acadprog ) for course requirement details.
PERMISSION NUMBER ENTRY
A Permission number is a system generated number students submit on CPReg to add classes beginning the 1st day through the 8th day of classes.
Instructor Permission numbers may be obtained from instructors (Day 1 - Day 8) Students enter the Instructor Permission number via CPReg and that is all! The student is then enrolled in the class!
On the 8th day of classes, all unused/un-entered Instructor Permission numbers will be VOID and may not be submitted to CPReg after the 8th day of the term!
This completes the Instructor Permission registration process!
Reminder: View and PRINT your updated/detail schedules at my.calpoly.edu.
DROPPING A CLASS VIA CPReg
Students may drop unwanted classes on CPReg through the 8th day of classes. If you are told by the instructor to drop a class, be sure to do so immediately. If you are enrolled in the wrong class or section at the end of the term, you will receive a failing grade. Correct enrollment is the student's responsibility, so be sure to verify your schedule and drop unwanted courses before the drop deadline via CPReg. Following the end of the drop period, students wishing to withdraw from a class must do so by submitting a course withdrawal petition with approval signatures. Refer to Withdrawal information page for details.
You may be dropped by an instructor for one of the reasons listed below:
Failure to attend the 1st class meeting: If you are unable to attend the 1st class meeting, prior arrangements should be made with the instructor. If you do not contact the instructor, you may be "line-dropped". The instructor may "line-drop" students who fail to appear within the first thirty minutes of the first class meeting of a lecture, laboratory or activity class. If enrolled in a lab/lecture combination, be sure to attend both courses during the first session, if you attend the lecture on the first day but miss the laboratory (co-requisite) session, or vice versa, you may be dropped from both. DO NOT ASSUME THAT YOU WILL BE "LINE-DROPPED" FROM A CLASS. IT IS THE STUDENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO DROP ALL UNWANTED CLASSES.
Failure to meet course requirements: Some classes have special prerequisite requirements or restrictions, require department or instructor consent or are reserved for majors only. (See Quarterly Class Schedule or Cal Poly Catalog for course details)
Cancelled classes: Students will be automatically removed/dropped from cancelled classes.
