October Policy of the Month: Drop vs. Withdrawal

 Dropping a class means that you will remain enrolled in at least one hour of course work in the current semester.

The deadline to drop a class for the fall 2014 is October 23rd at 5:00 pm

Withdrawing is reducing your hours to zero 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 the fall, it does not affect your fall schedule. If you withdraw for a long semester, you will have to reapply through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.


If you are passing a class at the time you withdraw you will receive a W in the course. If you are failing a class at the time you withdraw, you will receive an F in the course.


To withdraw from all courses you will need to complete a Withdraw Request Form through the Registrar’s office. Information about how to request withdrawal from the University and/or access to the Withdrawal Request Form can be found here: http://www.registrar.txstate.edu/registration/withdraw-from-classes.html.



The last day to withdraw from all classes (going to zero hours) is November 20th at 5:00 p.m.


You can find the full policy on page 28-29 of the 2014-2016 Undergraduate Catalog



to discuss withdrawing and effects on their Financial Aid.***
