In Texas, you are not allowed to drop more than six classes after the "Census Date" from initial registration. If you are an undergraduate student and if you started as a first-time undergraduate at any Texas public community college, four-year college, or university in the fall of 2007 or later, you can’t drop more than six courses during your entire Texas college career. The reason is a new Texas law designed to motivate you to complete your coursework and your degree as soon as possible.
What happens after you drop six classes?
If you drop six classes and you want to drop a seventh, we have to deny your request to drop the class. Unless you qualify for an exception, you have to complete the course.
Yes, they count towards the total. At UHCL we identify the courses you dropped at other Texas colleges as “transfer drops,” and you can see how many you have on E-services (as well as your total).
We ask you for the same documents you would need if you were withdrawing from the university for reasons such as illness, family death, or military service.
For a change in your work schedule you will need a letter from your supervisor on letterhead or with company contact information.
Classes that do not count as one of your six drops:
If you have questions, please make an appointment with your academic advisor. To petition for an exemption, submit the UHCL 6 DROP EXEMPTION DROP FORM and the necessary documentation to the Office of Academic Records. If you have reached the six-drop limit and wish to withdraw from all classes during the semester, please fill out the UHCL 6 DROP EXEMPTION WITHDRAWAL FORM.
