Dr. Malos’ Add—and Drop—Policy

     Students wishing to add should consult the relevant greensheet posted on the course website for enrollment criteria and simply show up on the first day of class (there is no “waiting list” other than the official one maintained by CMS on MySJSU). Please do not call, email, or otherwise contact me in advance seeking to add; I cannot add anyone until I assess total demand, including the number of registered students who fail to attend the first session. (Any attempts to influence me to add you because of your “special circumstances” will simply annoy me and reduce your chances accordingly!)

     I will typically announce at the beginning of the first session whether adds will be considered and the likely odds of adding should space appear to be available. I also reserve the right to determine that adding more students to a particular course may negatively impact my ability to deliver high quality education to those students already enrolled, and that adds therefore will not be accepted.

     No adds will be approved the first day; if adds are to be considered and the number of students wishing to add exceeds available space, a list will be developed based on major and graduation date. HR majors have priority for undergraduate HR classes. Those wishing to add can expedite the process by obtaining documentation relative to graduation date and/or completion of any prerequisites from MySJSU [transcripts], BSAC [undergraduates], or your respective program office [graduate students]. In addition, to stay on the list and maintain eligibility to add, students must attend every class and complete all assigned work.

     Any student who misses the first day of class without a compelling, documented reason, approved in advance, will be dropped in order to make space available for students wishing to add.

     Students who decide to drop are asked to notify the instructor as quickly as possible to create an opening for another interested student. Students granted an add code are asked to use it as soon as possible so that updated enrollment records may be obtained.

     Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
