Drops/Excessive Absences:
Under Section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, "an institution of higher education may not
permit a student to drop more than SIX courses, including any course a transfer student has dropped
at another Texas public institution of higher education." This statute was enacted by the State of
Texas in Spring2007 and applies to students who enroll in a public institution of higher education as
first-time freshmen in the Fall 2007 semester or later. Students enrolled prior to Fall 2007 are not
affected. Any course that a student drops is counted toward the six-course limit unless the student is
completely withdrawing from the institution or meets one of the eligible criteria for a waiver. A "drop"
in this instance is considered when a student is dropped or withdrawn from a course after official day
resulting in a grade of "W." Please refer to the catalog for any additional information regarding the
eligible criteria for a waiver.
