Southwestern
College operates on the quarter system. Each class meets a total
of 10 contact hours for each one-quarter unit of credit. An
exception may occur in some Certificate Program courses. For
information on credit conversion, please refer to the Southwestern
College Student Handbook.
Students
may register for courses in person, by telephone or by mail.
Priority is given to degree students. Registering by any method
does not guarantee enrollment in a particular course or section.
Registration is not accepted from students with delinquent accounts.
Registration
for courses must be completed before the first week of classes.
Forms are available through the Registrar. Registration during
the first week of classes is considered late registration. There
is a late registration fee of $10 per class for anyone registering
the week in which classes begin. Registration after the first
class session requires permission of the instructor. Admission
is closed, without exception, after the second class session.
Classes
are offered in weekday, evening and weekend formats. Refer to
quarterly schedules for information on specific times for each
class.
