| Q |
Do I have to
declare a major or commit to a degree or certificate program in order to
attend Chaffey College?
|
| A |
No. You may take classes to learn a particular
skill or for personal enrichment. However, if you are interested in achieving
some long-term educational and career goals, extensive academic programs,
services and resources are available. The clearer, more specific, and more
realistic your objectives are, the more helpful the faculty and staff can
be in assisting you to meet those objectives.
|
| Q |
What is a full-time load?
|
| A |
For fall and spring semesters, it is 12 units.
For summer, it is 6 units.
|
| Q |
How many units must I take
each term?
|
| A |
You are not required by the college to take
a minimum number of units each term. The number of units you take will
depend on several factors, such as the number of hours you are employed
each week, your degree/certificate objectives, your own timetable for graduation
and/or transfer, and eligibility requirements if you are receiving financial
aid, veteran benefits, or other kinds of benefits. Counselors are available
to assist you with your educational planning.

| Q |
How do I add an open class?
|
| A |
You can add open classes online via MyChaffeyVIEW. View the Tutorial for assistance with loggining into MyChaffeyVIEW. Write down the 5-digit class section number(s) and use the link "Register for Sections" on the Student Menu.
|
| Q |
If a class is closed
at registration, is there still a way to enroll in the class?
|
| A |
The option to wait list for closed classes begins on the first day of Open Registration. Open Registration begins one week prior to the start of the term. If you are able to wait list, you must attend the first meeting of that class. At the first meeting, the instructor will determine which students may add the class, giving priority to those students on the wait list. If accepted, the instructor will issue you an Add Code. The Add Code is a 4-digit number that serves as the electronic signiture of the instructor. To register with an Add Code, you must log into MyChaffeyVIEW and select the link "Add Code Registration" on the Student Menu. This is to be done during the Late Registration period and the Add Code must be used before the Last Day to Add the specific class. Once the Last Day to Add passes, the Add Code will expire.
|
| Q |
What is the procedure for
dropping a class?
|
| A |
Students must drop online via MyChaffeyVIEW. The drop transacation must be completed by the "drop" deadline. Do not assume that instructors will automatically drop you for non-attendance. A withdrawal during the first 30% or fourth week of the term (whichever is less) will not reflect on your record. A withdrawal after this time will result in a grade of "W" appearing on your record. "W" grades are not used in calculating grade point averages, but excessive "W" grades may result in probation or dismissal. All students who have not withdrawn from the class by 75% of the course shall be given a letter grade (A-F). Different deadlines apply to classes that are less than a semester in length. These regulations are subject to change. You are advised to check you class schedule or registration statement for specific withdrawal deadlines.
|
| Q |
Do I have to repeat
a class in which I earned a D or F grade?
|
| A |
Not necessarily. However, certain requirements
may be met only with a "C" or better grade, such as the English
and math competency requirements for the associate degree and all courses
required for an occupational certificate. Also, if the course is specifically
required for the major, you are generally advised to repeat a "D" grade
and must repeat any "F" grade. Upon completion of the repeated
class, the previous grade earned will be omitted from your grade point
average and lined through on your academic record.
