Check the following before submitting a withdrawal request:
- Instructor Discussion/Student Success Center: Have you sought assistance from your professor or with the Student Success Center regarding your course? Withdrawing from courses critical to your degree plan could extend your time to graduation.
- Enrolled Hours: Are you required to be enrolled full-time for scholarship, financial aid, insurance, veteran’s benefits, or other reason? You will need to consult these areas directly before withdrawing.
- Texas 6-withdrawal Rule.
- Texas Excessive Hours.
- Texas 3-course Repeat Rule.
- Degree requirement: Withdrawing could have an impact in the sequencing and progression of your degree plan and could extend your time to graduation. If you have questions, discuss with your advisor before submitting a request. You may also visit the Academic Catalog to review your degree plan.
Please read before submitting a drop/withdrawal request:
- Students are responsible for dropping/withdrawing from courses for which they are registered and do not attend.
- Students are responsible for reading and understanding the deadlines for refunds and for dropping courses according to the Academic Calendar.
- Courses dropped before the course session census date are considered a drop.
- After the course session census date, withdrawing from a course will result in a Withdrawal (W/WL) grade on the official academic record.
- All drop/withdrawals are subject to the rules and deadlines in the Academic Calendar.
- The drop/withdraw submission will be contingent upon approval by the academic department. If approved by the academic department, the drop/withdrawal will be dated as of the approval date, and not the submission date of the drop/withdrawal request.
- Students are still responsible for the tuition and fees and for any balances owed. If there is any, refunds will be based on the refund schedule set forth in section 54.006 of the Texas Education Code published in the UT Dallas Catalog.
