Drop date scheduled for Friday

Students have until Friday to drop from one or more University courses through the Registrar’s Office. Students wishing to withdraw from a course can contact the Registrar’s Office and receive a drop form.

The course instructor, the department chair, or the major college dean must sign the drop form.  Dropping or withdrawing from classes may affect financial aid eligibility, veteran’s benefits, athletic eligibility or international student status.

Any student who began college for the first time as a freshman in Fall 2007 or thereafter may not drop more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career. This includes courses dropped at another two-year or four-year Texas public college or university.

For purposes of this rule, a dropped course is any course that is dropped after the published Census Date. Students wishing to withdraw from a course can contact the Registrar’s Office and receive a drop form.

Exceptions to the 6-drop rule include:

• students totally withdrawing from the university
• students administratively dropped from a course by the university
• dropping a course for a provable illness or disability, for care for a sick or injured person, or for a death in the immediate family
• dropping a course for documented change of work schedule
• dropping a course for active duty service with the U.S. armed forces or Texas National Guard.
