Advisement and Registration
Full-time faculty members are responsible for advising and registering newly admitted students, students who are currently enrolled in Coastal Pines Technical College (CPTC) courses, and students who are returning to CPTC after not enrolling in classes for two or more academic terms.
The Academic Affairs Dean for Secondary Initiatives and High School Coordinators/Recruiters are responsible for coordinating advising and registration of high school dually enrolled students for their individual high schools. All other new, current and returning students are assigned to advisors based on the student’s academic program. Advisors focus on assisting students in completing their required program curriculum in a timely manner and earning their academic award.
1. Current Student Registration. Faculty/Advisors are responsible for advising and registering currently enrolled students prior to the end of each academic term. The academic calendar shows the starting days of registration for currently enrolled students.
2. New Student Registration. Faculty/Advisors will advise and register new students in accordance with the academic calendar.
3. Late Registration. Late Registration is the first three days of the term. Students who have completed the Admissions process may be registered into classes on a space available basis. These students should contact their Advisor for assistance.
4. Payment of tuition and fees confirms registration and reserves the student's schedule.
• All tuition and fees are due before the first day of the term for ALL credit students. This requirement holds true even if class is scheduled to begin on a different day.
• If tuition and fees are NOT paid by the deadline, classes will be dropped.
Academic Load (Full time Status)
Students must register for 12 or more credit hours to be considered full time.
Enrollment Verification
Coastal Pines Technical College has authorized the National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) to provide enrollment verification certifications for students through NSC Student Self Service. NSC Student Self Service enables CPTC students to print official enrollment verification certifications on demand via our secure student portal, BannerWeb, at no charge.
Matriculation
Enrollment for the term is not complete until the student has properly completed registration and paid all fees due. Students who receive any type of financial aid may visit the financial aid office each term or review their BannerWeb account to ensure that financial aid support is adequate to cover that term’s fees. Students will be dropped from the courses for which they have attempted to register if fees are not paid before the payment deadline each term.
Schedule Changes
The official drop period is the first three business days of the term. Courses dropped during this period will not appear on the student’s academic record.
The official add period is the first seven calendar days of the term.
Withdrawal from College
Formal withdrawal is accomplished by completion and submission of a Withdrawal form. This form is available to students via BannerWeb, CPTC website or in Student Affairs.
Students who withdraw from a course after the end of the third business day of the term shall receive a grade of ‘W’, ‘WP’, or ‘WF’ and shall receive no refund of tuition and fees.
In order to receive a 100% refund, the form must be completed BY THE STUDENT and submitted to Student Affairs by closing time on the third business day of the term.
