10 Steps to Enrollment

Attend Classes

Students are expected to attend classes regularly. 

An instructor may drop students at any time for excessive absences. As a guideline, absence is considered excessive if a student misses three class meetings, or the equivalent of one week of class.

Refer to your Schedule/Bill (available in Pipeline after registration) for dates, times and locations of your classes. A student who does not attend the first meeting of a class may be dropped as a "no show." Review the campus map, or obtain a printed map at the security kiosks. Some classes are held at locations other than the main campus.

If you are registered for an online class, go to http://online.sbcc.edu for instructions.

If you decide to drop a class, it is your responsibility to officially withdraw by the deadline.  Non-attendance does not constitute an official drop. Do not depend on the instructor to drop you. Failure to officially withdraw by the deadline may result in a failing grade.
