Any changes to a student’s schedule after the add/drop deadline (Monday, July 14 at 11:59 p.m.) can significantly impact our ability to accurately and promptly process financial aid and student refunds. Even a single adjustment—such as adding, dropping or withdrawing from a class—can disrupt aid processing for thousands of students. Since many of our students rely on these funds to attend college, timely and accurate processing is critical.
To ensure consistency, fairness and compliance with federal regulations, we are holding firm to our institutional policies regarding schedule changes after the add/drop deadline. This means:
Action Required by Instructors
- Verify your class rosters in myRogue before the add/drop deadline.
- Waitlisted students appear fully registered in Blackboard, even if they are not officially enrolled. It is essential to verify enrollment in myRogue.
- If a student is attending your class but does not appear on your myRogue class roster—and your class has space—please remind them they must register in myRogue before the deadline. If your course is full and you wish to allow a waitlisted student to enroll:
- Log in to myRogue Faculty and complete the “Register Waitlisted Student(s) Form” found under “Forms for Faculty.”
- This form must be submitted no later than 4 p.m. on Monday, July 14.
- No schedule adjustments on Tuesday, July 15
Beginning Tuesday, July 15, no adds, drops or withdrawals will be processed until all student charges are posted. This depends on Financial Aid processing, which starts early that morning and may take several hours.
As a result, schedule changes may not be available until as late as 5 p.m. Tuesday or possibly Wednesday, and will only be processed based on institutional errors or extenuating circumstances.
Limited Exceptions After July 14
Only a few types of schedule changes will be approved after the add/drop deadline:
- Institutional Error – e.g., student was dropped by mistake or misinformed by RCC faculty or staff.
- Extenuating Circumstances – e.g., serious medical or family emergencies.
- Students in these categories must be referred to the Registrar’s Office: registrar@roguecc.edu | 541-956-7427
- Registrar staff will evaluate each case, secure necessary approvals, and coordinate with the Business Office and Financial Aid.
Note: Students with exceptions will be placed on a refund hold, and their aid may be delayed by at least one week.
Situations not eligible for exceptions to the add/drop deadline
Schedule changes will not be approved for:
- Missing or not knowing the add/drop deadline.
- Adding classes late to increase financial aid.
- Late registration for the term.
- Instructor/course preference or perceived difficulty.
- Choosing to withdraw without extenuating circumstances.
Week 3 and Beyond
Starting Week 3, no new class additions are allowed (except for late-start classes).
To request a late drop, students must submit a Student Record Appeal, reviewed by the SRA Committee.
Please remember: RCC has a generous registration and add/drop policy designed to support students. Ensuring students are properly enrolled from the start is essential for their success.
Thank you for supporting consistent processes that help students achieve academic and financial success.
