I would like information on
Classes
A. Students may print their schedules from the NCMC Website (www.ncmissouri.edu).
Click on the SAIL shortcut and follow directions.
A. Dropping a class occurs during the fi rst week of classes (summer time line is diff erent). Students can add or
drop a class during this time, without occurring any fi nancial obligations for the change and a 100% refund
will be given for any dropped courses. Withdrawing from a course occurs after the “add/drop period,” but
within the time line published in the Student Handbook. Although students are fi nancially obligated to pay for
withdrawn courses, a grade will not be earned and transcripts will refl ect a “W” for the course. Please note that
if you do not go to class, it does not constitute a withdrawal. You MUST notify the Registrar’s offi ce, through a
withdrawal form or a signed letter. Please note that adding, dropping, or withdrawing from a class may impact
your fi nancial aid.
A. When a class schedule change is necessary, you must complete an Add/Drop Form during the published
Add/Drop period (through the 1st week of fall or spring term). New students (those of you in your fi rst semester
at NCMC) can get help in the Alexander Student Center (ASC). Returning students need to see their advisor.
Textbooks will also be bought back during this period, but you must have your Add/Drop form with you. Keep
textbooks in original condition for full refund.
A. You must pick up a Withdrawal Form in the Registrar's offi ce in the ASC. This form must be completed, signed,
and returned to the Registrar prior to the fi nal date to withdraw, as published in the Student Handbook/
Calendar and on our website. You will still owe for the class. Contact the Registrar's Offi ce at ext. 1206 if you are
not able to arrive in person. Notifying your instructor or not attending will not cause you to be withdrawn from
your class.
A. These are typically listed in the published semester schedule. For more information on outreach classes,
contact the Outreach Offi ce, ext. 1318, the Registrar's Offi ce in ASC, ext. 1206 or check our website.
A. See your instructor and/or visit the Academic Resource Center (ARC) or Student Support Services, both located
in Barnes Hall.
A. Notify your instructors by phone or e-mail asap and contact a classmate to obtain notes/assignments to be
completed before the next session. Instructors set their own attendance policy; check the syllabus for each
course. Keep in mind absences reduce the value of the learning experience and reduce the probability of
passing the course.
A. Set up an appointment and talk to your instructor. If an appropriate resolution was not reached, then speak to
the Division Chair and/or Dean of Instruction. Student appeal procedures and forms are available on our website.
