Request for Reinstatement
College personnel may cancel or drop students from courses for several reasons, including non-payment, low course enrollment, or non-participation in the first week of the class. Students who are removed from courses by College personnel for any of these reasons may request to be reinstated. Reinstatement is not guaranteed but may be considered under certain circumstances. Please follow the appropriate steps outlined below to request reinstatement back into a course.
Canceled for non-payment (before the start of the term or during Add/Drop)
Students who are dropped for non-payment before the start of the term or during the Add/Drop period can re- if there is still an available seat in the course and they do not have holds preventing them from registering.听Students who have difficulty reinstating themselves should send an email to or stop by Enrollment Central to be reinstated. When emailing the Records Office, please provide your name, student ID number, and the course CRN, term, and name.听
Students who need advising for advice on alternate courses are encouraged to meet with their assigned academic advisor. Students can locate assigned advisors in Degree Works on delaGATE. If the assigned advisor is unavailable, students can make an appointment with Career and Counseling Services (recommended) or participate in Drop-in Registration events, either in person or virtually. 听Students can visit for details.
Canceled for non-payment (after Add/Drop)
Students who are dropped for non-payment after the end of the Add/Drop period must get approval from the instructor and appropriate academic dean for the course. The following steps outline this process:
