Senate Bill 1231 - Six Drop Rule

In 2007, the Texas Legislature enacted Senate Bill 1231 which provides that, except for several specific instances of good cause, undergraduate students entering as first time freshmen at a Texas public institution of higher education in the fall of 2007 or later will be limited to a total of six dropped courses during their undergraduate career.  

Policy and Procedure 4.14 Limiting the Number of Course Drops

Letter to Students about Drop Policy

Dropping and Withdrawing - There IS a Difference

Withdrawing is GOING TO ZERO HOURS for the CURRENT SEMESTER.  Withdrawing is ONLY for the current semester and does not affect any future semesters in which you are enrolled. For example, if you withdraw from all classes in Summer II, this does not affect your fall schedule.
Dropping means that you will remain enrolled in AT LEAST ONE HOUR in the CURRENT SEMESTER.
