Registering for Classes

It is your responsibility to attend your courses on a regular basis. As a part of Blackhawk Technical College's commitment to student success, we do have a non-attendance policy. If you fail to attend any course sessions during the first 10% of a course’s actual hours of instruction, your instructor will report you as “non-attending” and you will be removed from the course and notified through your BTC student email. At that point, you will no longer be considered registered in that course, will not receive a grade for the course, and cannot start attending unless written approval from the instructor is received. If permitted, you will be required to re-register for the course. Removal from a course due to failure to attend provides an eighty percent refund to your student account and may impact your financial aid.

You can drop a class or all of your classes before the end of the drop/add period. Your BTC account will be credited, and after all fees have been paid, a refund check will be issued to you or we will apply the refund to the credit card used, if appropriate. Refer to the BTC catalog for further information.

You may withdraw from a class or all of your classes before the withdrawal deadline. If you are withdrawing (or dropping) from all of your courses, you will need to fill out an Add/Drop Form and meet with an advisor before you can be withdrawn. However, you are not eligible for a refund and you will receive a grade of "W" on your transcript. If you owe the college any money, you will still have to pay that balance. Refer to the BTC catalog for further information.
