ADD/DROP PERIOD

during the priority registration period through the end
of the Add/Drop period.
Beginning the first day of
classes:
To Add:
Students must secure a permission number from the
instructor (or instructor’s designee). The permission
number will allow you to add the course online in
MyCSUSM. Visit Cougar Central for assistance with
adding courses with a permission number. The permission
number will not override prerequisites; please consult
with your instructor.
To Drop:
Students may drop courses online in MyCSUSM. Classes
dropped before the end of the add/drop period will not
appear on the student’s transcript. Contact cashiers
for refund calculation.
Students permitted to add
classes after the add/drop period will be required to
pay any additional administrative fee(s) and
registration fees (if applicable) due immediately.

PHOTO ID
Student
identification cards are issued by the Library for the
University Police Department. The identification cards,
which have the student’s photo imprinted on them, are
required in order to check out library books, to receive
health services, to write checks on campus, to gain
access to secure areas, and for identification purposes
if requested by a University representative acting in an
official capacity. A computer-based photo ID system is
used to take individual photographs and print the cards.
To obtain a CSUSM identification card, students must
present proof of registration and payment of fees. Photo
IDs can be obtained during student orientation and
registration and during normal business hours in the
Kellogg Library, Room 2100. For more information, call
the Kellogg Library at (760) 750-4370 IDs are $5.00.
Reissue or replacement identification cards are also
$5.00 each.
APPLYING FOR GRADUATION
Students must apply to graduate during the appropriate
published filing period (see Registration Calendar).
Students must have a minimum of 85
semester units before they can apply. Business majors
must be classified as business status before they can
apply to graduate. Students who submit an application
for graduation after the published deadline will be
assessed a $15 late fee, and will not be guaranteed a
timely graduation evaluation.
GRADES
Students can view
Fall 2008 official grades on
MyCSUSM on
January 9, 2009. Students should contact faculty for any
questions regarding grades reported.
CHANGING GRADING OPTION TO CREDIT/NO CREDIT
Students may
change the grading option of a course from letter grade
to Credit/No Credit (if course grading is not
restricted) or vice versa on
MyCSUSM during
the add/drop period only . Once the credit/no credit
option is exercised, it cannot be reversed for a letter
grade after the add/drop deadline. Refer to the
Add/Drop Schedule for dates.
AUDIT GRADING
For courses
taking as Audit only, please complete the Petition to
Audit a Course form, which is available in Cougar
Central or download and print on the Registration and
Records website. The change in grading option of a
course to audit requires the instructor’s signature and
once exercised cannot be reversed at a later date.
Refer to the General Catalog for an explanation
of these options.
NON-ATTENDANCE
Students should NOT
ASSUME that they will be automatically dropped from
courses for non-attendance. Students are required to
officially drop from courses they do not intend to take
during the Add/Drop period. Students who do not
officially drop during the Add/Drop period or file a
Withdrawal Form from for course(s) in which they do not
intend to complete will receive a punitive grade at the
end of the semester.
During the add/drop period,
instructors may administratively drop a
student who does not attend the first class meeting or
other meetings as determined by the instructor, unless
these absences are previously approved by the
instructor. Students will not be notified of
instructor initiated drops. After the add/drop period,
administrative drop requests will not be processed;
students will need to file a Withdrawal form.
It is the student's
responsibility to monitor and verify his or her class
schedule. This information is available throughout the
semester on MyCSUSM
or from Cougar Central.
