If you register before the first day of class, you must pay full tuition and fees. If you register for credit on or after the first day of class, you will be charged Senior Rate fees per credit with no tuition charges. Senior Citizens auditing a course will be charged reduced fees per credit. The Senior Registration/Course Audit form must be turned into the Records Office to receive the Senior Rate or Senior Audit Rate by the fifth day start of the semester. For Late Start courses, this form must be signed and received by the Records Office within one business day of the course start date. If applicable, students will be responsible for any special course fees.

• Minnesota State Statute 135A.52
• Minnesota State Statute 135A.51

Please use the Senior Registration/Course Audit form to register.

See Tuition Rates & Fees for details.

Courses may be added online or in person:

• the first 5 days of Spring and Fall Semesters (an instructor’s signature is required after the third day).
• the first 3 days of the Summer Session (an instructor’s signature is required once the class has started).

Use the Course Change eForm to request the instructor’s signature.

You are required to pay all tuition and fees for any registered courses.

You may add courses that start later in the semester (such as courses in Session II or III) before the course begins without instructor approval. After a class has already started, late adds will be processed only with the approval/signatures of the instructor on the Course Change eForm.

You may drop a course during the first 5 days of Fall, Spring and Summer Semesters. Full refunds are only available prior to the term start or during the five-day drop period each term for courses starting the first week, except as specified on the Refund Policies page. You may drop a late start/fast track course only through the day after the first scheduled class day to receive a full refund.

Course withdrawals (“W” grades) begin on the sixth day of the term, unless noted otherwise in the course schedule. For late start/fast track courses, withdrawals begin two days after the first scheduled date. The last day to withdraw date varies; it displays on students’ online schedules and on the course search details. You may qualify for a refund during the refund period if you withdraw from all classes (see the Refund Policies page for details).

Classes that you have withdrawn from become part of your permanent record and will appear on your transcript.

*Instructors signatures are not required within the withdrawal deadline.

• You should withdraw after you stop attending a course or you will likely receive a grade of “F” or “FW” (faculty withdrawal)
• If you withdraw after 20 days, you can visit until final exam week with the instructor’s approval
• Withdrawals do not influence GPA, but negatively impact academic progress

If extenuating circumstances prevent you from withdrawing by the deadline, you may fill out a Late Withdrawal Petition form online, in the Business Office, Room 2340, West Campus or Records Office, Room 2220, West Campus. Additional documentation may be required. Please see Refund Policies page under Exceptions for the form.

Important: There are four ways you can add, drop or withdraw from a course:

• Login to the eServices
• Fill out the Course Change eForm and email the form to records@century.edu from your Century email
• Written request with your signature by U.S. mail received prior to the deadline

Please note: A telephone message request is not considered a valid processing method.

Since withdrawing from a class can impact your academic progress, we recommend that you consult with a Century College advisor/counselor before your make your final decision. Poor academic progress may lead to academic probation and eventually suspension. It may also impact your financial aid. Please familiarize yourself with the Satisfactory Academic Progress for Financial Aid Policy and Procedure.

There is no refund for partial withdrawal. The student must withdraw from all classes to receive a pro-rated refund based on the withdraw schedule. Faculty withdrawals are not eligible for refunds. You are required to pay tuition and fees unless you drop classes by the deadline. Century College will not drop courses for non-attendance.

If you want to register for more than 18 credits, you will need to complete an Exceed Maximum 18 Credit Limit Appeal form for approval by the Registrar.

When a class is full, you have the option to add yourself to its waitlist to be notified if a seat becomes available. The wait list is shut off the night before the first day of the semester. Wait listing may not be available for late start courses.

Open Seat Notification

You will be notified at your Century College email address as your position on the waitlist moves up. Once you are offered a seat in your waitlist class, you have exactly 24 hours to register (the email will indicate your registration deadline). It is extremely important that you monitor your email closely so you do not miss your wait list opening.

Being able to add yourself to a wait list does not mean you will be eligible to register for the class if a seat becomes available. Be sure to resolve all holds, verify in eServices you will pass course prerequisites, and remove all other registration barriers in advance so that you can register when a wait listed seat is offered to you. Waitlisted seats become available 24 hours a day, including weekends. During non-business hours, staff may not be available to assist you. You cannot be returned to your original place on the waitlist if you fail to register during the 24 hour window.
