Bunker Hill Community College

Enrolling and Withdrawing

Course Prerequisites
Some courses require that students meet certain conditions prior to registering, known as prerequisites. Prerequisites include completion of lower-level courses with a grade of C or higher; completion of Computerized Placement Tests (CPTs); admission to a specific program of study. Students must bring proof of course completion from another college or university at the time of registration.

Auditing a Course
Students who wish to audit a course must obtain permission from the Registrar or the Assistant Registrar. Students planning to audit a course are required to pay full tuition and fees, and the request must be made at the time of registration.

Dropping or Adding a Course
Students who need to adjust their schedules due to a change in program or other reason may do so during registration and the add/drop period. After that time, the only courses that may be added to a student's schedule are those within the Center for Self-Directed Learning, telecourses and external study courses.

Withdrawal from a Course or College
A student may withdraw from a course and/or college only during the semester in which she/he is registered, and by the date specified for each semester. Course and college withdrawals are not processed retroactively and students who withdraw from a course and/or the college are not entitled to a refund. To withdraw from a course and/or the college, a student must complete and submit the appropriate course withdrawal form** or college withdrawal form**, available online or at the Enrollment Services Center.

Repeating a Course
Students may repeat only courses in which they earn a grade of D, F, W, WA or NA. The grade earned in the final attempt automatically becomes the official grade for purposes of calculating grade point average and for determining eligibility for graduation. The grades for each attempt, however, are recorded on the student’s transcript. Certain courses in the health programs must be repeated until the student earns a grade of A or B. When this exception applies the college notifies the student.

Grading and Notation System
Please refer to the college catalog for a copy of the grading and notation system and computation of grade point average.
