Can I change classes?

How do I add and drop classes? 

To add or drop a class after the quarter starts, complete an Add/Drop Form and return to the Welcome Center (enrollment@ghc.edu).

When you have selected a class to add, fill out the information under the Add section and take it to the instructor of the class to see if you can enroll. You may also email the instructor. If approved, the instructor will sign the form. Return the form to the Welcome Center (enrollment@ghc.edu). You may also forward an email approval from your instructor.

To drop a class, use the same form and simply fill in the appropriate class information under the Drop section and return the form to the Welcome Center (enrollment@ghc.edu). Dropping a class may have a negative impact on your financial aid or other funding. Check with the Financial Aid office regarding your individual situation.
