Course Enrollment Information



Registration

In order to become a student at CNCC, a student must apply for admission then meet with an advisor to register for classes using the online portals Navigate. All students must contact Advising by email at advising@cncc.edu or by phone call at 970-675-3234 for assistance. Advisors will work with students to set up an advising appointment.

Drop for Non-Attendance

It is ultimately the student’s responsibility to officially drop or withdraw from a course through the Advising or Registrar’s Offices prior to a required deadlines. Students that fail to attend a course prior to the census (drop date) may result in the student being dropped from that course for non-attendance. Being dropped for non-attendance does not imply a refund and can have significant negative consequences for students using financial aid and/or veterans benefits.

Attendance in an online or hy-flex course is defined as accessing the course and completing at least one academic activity or attending a live session. What constitutes an academic activity may vary from course to course based on the uniqueness of each course.

Instructors will inform students in the class of their individual attendance policies. Students who miss too many class sessions may be advised to withdraw from a course.

Schedule Changes

Students are expected to arrange their academic schedule carefully and maintain this schedule throughout the semester. Necessary schedule changes may be initiated online through Navigate, or through the Advising and Registrar’s Offices (in the Johnson Building in Rangely or the Academic Building in Craig). Students who are not able to make a registration change online or come to one of the campuses, can call 1-800-562-1105 or email advising@cncc.edu or admissions@cncc.edu for assistance. Students are encouraged to consult with their advisor(s) and the appropriate instructor(s) prior to completing the schedule adjustment.

Add/Drop Classes

Students may add or drop courses from their schedules during the first fifteen percent of the course meetings. Dropped courses within this time period will not be reflected on a student’s transcripts and 100-percent of the tuition is refunded.

Withdrawal from Classes

Students may withdraw from a course any time through eighty percent of the course without academic penalty, and the grade assigned will be “W.” No refund is granted for classes from which a student withdraws.

Withdrawal from the College

Students who decide to leave CNCC at any point during the semester are strongly encouraged to formally withdraw by contacting the Registrar’s Office. Staff members will provide the appropriate withdrawal form or students can choose to access Navigate to withdraw. If the withdrawal from CNCC occurs before the census (drop) date, 100 percent of the tuition will be refunded, and there will be no academic penalty. Students who withdraw after the census date will be responsible for tuition. Room, board and other associated fees may apply. The student will need to contact the business office at 970-675-3278 to determine what charges may be applied. Additionally, any financial aid accepted/received will be subject to the Return of Title IV Funds calculation.

Students who have made use of the various campus services or have been involved in athletics are encouraged to complete the Student Withdrawal & Clearance Form. This form is designed to make sure students contact all of the appropriate departments before leaving campus. Until the Registrar certifies the withdrawal to be complete, no refunds can be made.

The official transcript for a student who withdraws from the college after census date up through 80 percent of the semester will reflect a “W” in each course for that semester. A student who fails to withdraw from the College before the last day to withdraw will receive the grade earned for the semester. If extenuating circumstances exist, a student can file a Student Petition. If approved, the Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs may change the final grade(s) to “W”.

Degree Plan Changes

A student’s degree plan or major may be changed before the regular part of term census date to be effective for the current term by submitting the Change of Major Form to the Registrar’s Office. Any degree plan changes submitted after the census date will be processed to be effective for the following term. Exceptions will be allowed for any student graduating in the current term, in an undeclared program, or enrolling only in late-start courses.
