IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DROP POLICIES
Beginning with the Fall 2007 semester the Texas Legislature has placed limitations on the number of courses that may be dropped by Texas college students attending public colleges and universities under certain circumstances.
New first-time students may not drop more than six courses. The six course limit applies to all public institutions of higher education, including transfer of course work from one institution to another. There are exceptions to the legislation:
(E1) a severe illness or other debilitating condition that affects the student’s ability to satisfactorily complete the course;
(E2) the student's responsibility for the care of a sick, injured, or needy person if the provision of that care affects the student's ability to satisfactorily complete the course;
(E3) the death of a person who is considered to be a member of the student's family who is otherwise considered to have a sufficiently close relationship to the student that the person's death is considered to be a showing of good cause;
(E4) the active duty service as a member of the Texas national Guard or the armed forces of the United States of either the student or a person who is considered to be a member of the student's family or who is otherwise considered to have a sufficiently close relationship to the student that the person's active military service is considered to be a showing of good cause;
(E5) the change of the student's work schedule that is beyond the control of the student, and that affects the student's ability to satisfactorily complete the course; or
(NR) no exception - the reason for dropping does not match any of the exceptions listed above.
Please be aware of this policy as you consider dropping any courses this semester.
