Registration
Students are responsible for timely and accurate registration after consultation with their program advisor. Students are responsible for tuition and fees for all registered courses. Students who do not plan to attend Anoka Technical College must withdraw from or drop courses through their online eServices account. Failure to attend class does not in itself constitute dropping or withdrawing. Students who do not attend class and do not drop or withdraw will receive the grade earned. Instructors cannot drop or withdraw students from courses.
The College reserves the right to drop a student from a course without student permission and will notify the student. Reasons the college may drop a student include but are not limited to: failing to meet a prerequisite, academic suspension, course cancellation, or failure to make payment arrangements by tuition deadline.
Changes to Registration (adding and dropping courses)
Students may add or drop courses online through their eServices account through the first five business days of the semester. This five day period is called the “Add/Drop period.” Courses dropped during this period are eligible for a full-refund and will not appear on the student transcript. For classes beginning after the first week of the semester, students have one business day after the start of the class to add or drop the course.
Senior Citizen Registration
Minnesota resident senior citizens, 62 years of age or older, may register for courses on a space-available basis without payment of tuition and activity fees. Senior citizens who are enrolling in courses to receive credit are required to pay an administration fee of $20 per credit plus additional fees as outlined on the College website. Senior citizens who are auditing courses are not required to pay the administrative fee of $20 per credit. Audited courses cannot be used to fulfill graduation requirements.
Senior Citizen Students requesting to enroll under this reduced rate, must submit the Senior Citizen Rate Request form available on the College website. Students must indicated on the request form whether they are enrolling in courses to receive credit or to audit. Approved registrations will be processed the first business day after the first class session.
Called to Active Duty Withdrawal
Minnesota State Procedure 5.12.1 provides guidance for students who are members of any branch of the U.S. military and who are unable to complete a semester due to being called to active duty. These students must, to the extent possible, be provided with one of the following options after providing a copy of the call-up papers:
- The student may withdraw from one or more courses for which tuition and fees have been paid and be given a full refund of tuition and fees. The student may either receive a retroactive drop from the course(s) or “W” grade(s) with an approved tuition waiver and Military Withdrawal annotation on the student’s record, whichever is deemed in the student’s best interest. A student receiving financial aid who chooses this option must be informed that they may be liable for any required refunds of state or federal financial aid funds.
- The student may be given a grade of incomplete in a course and complete it upon release from active duty.
- The student may continue and complete the course for full credit. Class sessions missed by the student due to performance of active military service must be counted as excused absences and cannot be used to adversely impact the student’s grade or standing in the class. A passing grade must be awarded if, in the opinion of the faculty member teaching the course, the student has completed sufficient work and has demonstrated sufficient progress toward meeting course requirements to justify the grade.
Additionally, it is strongly recommended for financial aid recipients to check with the Financial Aid Office.
Final Grades
Students may access their final grades within eServices approximately five days after the last day of the semester.
Transcripts
The transcript serves as the official permanent record of a student’s academic achievements at Anoka Technical College. Official transcripts can be requested through the following methods:
- Online- Electronic transcripts can be ordered online at www.getmytranscript.com. This is the fastest and least expensive method for request.
- Paper Form- Paper transcripts can be ordered using the Transcript Request Form located on the college website.
Students transferring to another Minnesota State college or university do not need to request official transcripts, as these colleges and universities have access to official transcripts free of charge.
