How to Register/Add/Drop Credit Courses

Students who are eligible for online registration may access this option by logging on to MyCampus and then Self-Service > Student Planning. All other students may register in person in the Office of Registration. (Students registering in person will need to meet first with an academic advisor.)

Students may adjust their schedule (Add/Drop) according to the academic calendar for the term. For a standard 15 week semester, students may add before a course meets for the third meeting. The last day to drop a class is in the 12th week of the 15 week term. Dates vary for accelerated terms, please refer to the academic calendar for exact dates.

Students may not add/drop online after the start of the semester. Requests for drops must be submitted via Skipjack email to [email protected] or students may drop a class in person at the Registration Office or at the Cambridge Center.

Students are encouraged to consult with an advisor before withdrawing from all courses.

Students can view mid-term and final grades via MyCampus/Self-Service. All students receive mid-term grades at the 8 week point of a 15 week course. Mid-term grades consist of S (Satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory) and are intended to indicate the student’s progress without affecting GPA or permanent academic record. Students should contact their instructor for questions regarding grades including questions about missing grades. Final grades are posted to MyCampus/Self-Service 2-3 days after the end of the term. Neither mid-term or final grades are sent via mail, you must check MyCampus/Self-Service.

Fall, Spring and Summer graduates are invited to attend the commencement ceremony in May.

Upon completion of 45 credit hours, students must meet with an advisor in the Office of Student Services for a Program Progress Review to ensure that you are completing the courses in your chosen academic program and are making satisfactory progress toward graduation.

Students must apply online for graduation according to the graduation due dates. Students will submit their graduation application online through MyCampus > Self-Service > Graduation Overview.

Keep your personal and academic records up to date by notifying our office of any changes, such as name or address updates. Accurate records are essential for effective communication and documentation throughout your time at Chesapeake College.

Every student has two records at the college, an educational record which is a cumulative listing of all undergraduate courses, both developmental and credit, and a demographic record. The educational record also contains information on other institutions added and transcripts from those institutions, standardized tests such as CLEP and AP, change of program/major, transcript requests, etc. Rights regarding your record are protected under FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act.).

Demographic Record

A student’s personal record contains information of a demographic/biographic nature. To make changes complete the Demographic Change Form. Student name change requires proof in the form of a marriage license, divorce decree indicating name change, or court documentation.

Our office provides support for veterans accessing education benefits through the VA, helping you navigate the process and receive the financial support you’re entitled to.
