1. Late Add of Students - Policy - The Committee discussed at length the issue of late adds. Alma will check on the current policy. An add slip is required for students who want to add the class after the first day, even if the class is not filled. Paul will check out the LACCD and Mission online system to see if there are any "glitches" in allowing students to register without an add slip. The add slip should be signed and sent to Admissions. The policy will be posted at our main online page - http://lamission.edu/online to advise our online students.
