As a SWCC student, the registrar's office will help you with the following:

Register for Classes

  • All new students should meet initially with a counselor in the admissions office to develop their first class schedule. They will be assigned an academic advisor at that time.
  • Full-time, returning students (enrolled in 12 credits or more) are expected to meet with their academic advisors as soon as class schedules are available. Your advisor can help plan your schedule and his or her signature is required for registration.
  • Part-time students (enrolled in 11 credits or less) may register by phone: call 641.782.7081 or 800.247.4023, ext. 422 or 326 or register in person in student services in the administration center.

Dropping/Withdrawing from Online Courses

The Iowa Community College Online Consortium (ICCOC) establishes the start and end dates for online classes.  The last day that a student may drop/withdraw from an online course is two weeks prior to the last day of online classes.

Students dropping one or more classes or withdrawing from Southwestern Community College during a term, are required to notify the registrar by one of the following methods: mail, e-mail, or in the registrar’s office. Students notifying the registrar through written communication should include their first, middle, and last name along with date of birth. Course cancellation, drop, or withdraw will not be accepted over the phone.

Withdraw from Southwestern

Students who wish to withdraw from college are required to complete a signed withdrawal form available in the registrar's office in Creston or from the off-campus centers in Red Oak or Osceola.
