Currently enrolled degree and certificate seeking students should follow these steps:

2. Register for courses (students may register for most courses via  web, email, or in person in West Building, W201). See the Class Schedule for a list of courses.
3. Students pay tuition and fees via the web (LionsLink Powered by ctcLink), at the Cashier's Office, or other modes offered by the college.
4. Textbook and supply costs are in addition to tuition.

To register online, go to the LionsLinkStudentView. A Student ID number (ctcLink ID) and password are required. Online registration may not be available for all students or classes. To register in person, go to Enrollment Services during business hours.

• Currently enrolled students enrolled with Disability Support Services

Change Registration (Add/Drop)

Students must add or drop courses via LionsLink, or at Enrollment Services, West Building, W201 to make the change official. A refund will occur only when a student officially withdraws or drops within the refund period. Please see our refund policy.

Register/Add/Drop Via LWTech Student Email

Students may add/drop classes using their preferred email address as listed in LionsLink or using their LWTech email account (s-first.last@lwtech.edu) by emailing Registration. All requests sent via LWTech email accounts are considered official.

Late Additions

Courses added after the first day of the quarter require instructor approval. You can request permission from an instructor by completing our online request form. Adding courses after the 10th day of the quarter requires payment of a $50 late registration fee and may require special petitions. More information available on our Late Registration page.

The quarterly Class Schedule lists fee payment requirements. Tuition and fees are due by the first day of the quarter.

Students who have not paid tuition and fees or made the first payment of the Student Payment Plan may be dropped from their classes after the fifth day of the quarter.

Students who owe tuition and fees will not be able to register for future quarters, receive official transcripts, or graduate until their account has been paid.

Many classes require completion of prerequisite coursework to ensure students are prepared for course content and rigor. Students must meet the requirements of a class either by grade, transfer coursework, placement score, or faculty permission.

If a class is full, students have the option to be put on a waiting list. This list automatically adds students to openings as they appear prior to the first day of each quarter. Students should check their class enrollment online, with Enrollment Services, or with the course instructor during the first week of classes to see if they are enrolled in the class. Students should remove themselves from the waiting list if they decide not to enroll in the class.

Note: Students may not register for a course (example: ENGL& 101 item #XXXA) and hold a place on the wait list for another section of the same course (ENGL& 101 item #XXXB).

Students may be administratively withdrawn from an individual class or all classes in a particular quarter for the following reasons. In all cases, tuition refunds will follow LWTech's posted refund policy. 

• Failure to meet prerequisite requirements: many classes require completion of prerequisite coursework to ensure students are prepared for course content and rigor. Students must meet the requirements of a class either by grade, transfer coursework, placement score, or faculty permission.
• Conduct sanctions: when a student is found in violation of one or more of the student conduct codes published in the Student Handbook, administrative withdrawal may be selected as an appropriate sanction. You may also refer to the LWTech Student Code of Conduct for more information. 
• Non-attendance: in order to maximize enrollment opportunities for all students, instructors may request the Enrollment Services office to administratively withdraw students who (1) Do not attend the first and/or any subsequent class meetings AND (2) Do not notify the instructor in advance of the absence.

A student may withdraw from all courses through the eighth week of the quarter, or the equivalent proportion for shorter courses or courses with irregular start and end dates. It is the student's responsibility to drop all classes. Further information is available in the Class Schedule. 

Official withdrawals occurring after the tenth instructional day of the quarter are posted with a "W" on the student's transcript. A grade of W does not count in GPA calculations. Not attending a class does not withdraw a student or create refund eligibility. After the eighth week, no withdrawals will be allowed. An instructor will assign the appropriate grade. Depending on the start date and length of the class, an early withdrawal during the first two weeks will not be recorded on the transcript.
