Stop! Before You Drop ...
If you are considering dropping a class after Census Day, please consider the following before making your decision: (Download Stop! Before You Drop...)
- If you want to drop after the automatic "W" date, remember that it is a "W" if you are passing, an "F" if you are failing. You should consider what this might do to your GPA.
- Dropping will count against you in the Three-Attempt Rule
- If you began college in Texas in the fall of 1999 through the summer of 2006, dropping will count as part of the 45 hour cap on the total number of hours required for your degree. (Forty-five attempted hours beyond the number of hours required for your degree plan will incur an additional charge of $121/semester credit hour.)
- If you began college in Texas in the fall of 2006, dropping will count as part of the 30 hour cap on the total number of hours required for your degree plan. (Thirty attempted hours beyond the number of hours required for your degree plan will incur an additional charge of $121/semester credit hour.)
- Students who were freshmen beginning in the fall of 2007 may only drop 6 courses (please read CFAC's information about the Six Drop Limit.)
- Dropping a course could disqualify you from a tuition rebate.
- Dropping a course will count against the total number of hours you are allowed to have in order to receive financial aid.
- If you need to remain on your parent's insurance, make sure that dropping will not bring you below 12 hours (full-time status).
If you still want to drop, you can find more information about the above in UTSA's Info Guide.
