how many drops do you get university of houston
Pursuant to section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code and based on PS 03.A.36 all courses dropped beginning in Fall 2007 are calculated into the 6 drop limit students are allowed during their academic career. In Texas, the “6 Drop Rule” prohibits dropping more than six classes after the last day to drop without a grade or “Census Date”. If you are an undergraduate student and started as a first-time undergraduate at any community college, four-year college, or university in the fall of 2007 or later, you cannot drop more than six courses during your entire Texas college career. The rationale for this rule is based on a Texas law designed to motivate and encourage course completion and the timely attainment of a degree.
What happens after you drop six classes?
If you have already dropped six classes, and wish to drop a seventh, the request will be denied if you attempt to drop after the “Census Date”. Unless you qualify for an exception, you must complete the course.
Do the courses you dropped before coming to UHD count as part of the six?
Yes, courses dropped prior to enrolling at UHD count towards the total. At UHD we identify the courses you dropped at other Texas colleges as “transfer drops.” You can see how many individual and cumulative courses you have dropped via your student myUHD portal.
6 Drop Appeal & Exemptions
Dropping all courses from your schedule during a term after the Census Date is considered a complete withdrawal and none of the dropped courses will be calculated towards the 6 drop limit. If you wish to completely withdraw from the semester, students must login to their student portal at myUHD and submit a Request Term Withdrawal. The Request Term Withdrawal link will provide you with instructions on how to login your student portal and submit your request. Please read and complete the information that applies to you and initial areas required.
