Student Information and College Policies

Dropping Courses

You can drop a course (or courses) during the first two weeks of the semester. If you drop a course during this add/drop period, it will not appear on your transcript.

For any questions or assistance, please contact the Admissions/Registrar’s Office.

Withdrawal Policy

The deadline to withdraw from a single course varies based on the length of the course. Please refer to the dates listed above. If you need to withdraw from a course after the deadline, you must obtain permission from the Interim Vice President for Academic Affairs. This permission is only granted under verifiable extenuating circumstances, such as illness or accidental injury. Poor performance in class is not considered an extenuating circumstance.

Starting the 3rd week of the semester, you may choose to do a “Total Withdrawal,” meaning you withdraw from all your courses for the semester and receive a grade of “W.” You can do this until the week before Finals.

To start the withdrawal process, please go to Total Withdrawal Form. Please note that you are financially responsible for all courses you are registered for starting the third week of classes.

Absences Due to College Activities or Military Training

Absences due to participation in college-sponsored activities or military training are typically excused. However, it is important to give your instructors as much advanced notice as possible.

Connors State College PRIDE

At Connors State College, we strive to create an environment that values:

  • Preparation: Recognizing that all students bring a unique heritage to their education.

Student Email

All email communication with your professors should be done through your Connors Email address. Remember to check your email regularly for important information from your instructors.

Class Attendance is Important

Attendance is often closely linked to performance in the classroom. It is important to discuss any absences with your instructor. Many instructors consider attendance so important that your grade may be affected by absenteeism. Some instructors have mandatory attendance policies. Be sure to check your course syllabus or ask your instructor for this information.
