This has never been true at any college I have attended. You absolutely got booted if you were not on the class roster after the enrollment period was done.
At California community colleges, it seemed it's also a matter of insurance liability. They were remarkably aggressive about enforcement.
- gnicholas 4y agoHow was this enforced? A professor would notice in a class under 30 or so, but beyond that I'm not sure it would be apparent (assuming the attendee looked more or less like a student).
- bsder 4y ago> A professor would notice in a class under 30 or so That describes practically every college class I have ever taken--even at community colleges.
- gnicholas 4y agoWow! I went to a very small liberal arts college, and even there we had classes over 30. I remember a friend at a larger Ivy told me there were 900 students in her intro Econ class...which would have amounted to the entire freshman and sophomore classes at my school, and then some!
