Due to the wide variety of start and end dates of classes, it is not possible to list all of the dates for every class in the schedule. Please refer to your registration statement for specific dates, including refund date, drop without a “W” date and drop with a “W” date. The last day to drop a class with a refund is 10% of the class. For short-term classes, this is typically before the second class meeting. In some cases, however, it is prior to the first class meeting.

*A full-term class is one that is scheduled to meet January 18 – May 25, 2011.

Due to a variety of conditions beyond the control of Mt. San Jacinto College, the college cannot be responsible for delays in posting of official grades.

REGISTRATION DATES ARE TENTATIVE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
