Registration

Administrative Drop Policy

Regular attendance is required for all Richland classes. At midterm the College can administratively drop students who have failed to meet attendance requirements of the instructor. Failure to attend the first two classes of a course may also cause a student to be dropped. Students must not assume they will be automatically dropped because they have not attended class and must complete a "Change of Schedule" form available in the Student Records Office in order to stop attending a class.

New students are required to participate in new student orientation called SOAR 100 prior to registering for classes. SOAR 100 - "Student, Orientation, Advising, & Registration" - helps students become familiar with College services, policies and regulations, social and recreational activities, and campus facilities. SOAR 100 is provided through the Student Services Center. New students can schedule a time to attend the orientation by calling 875-7211, ext. 267.
