Withdrawal Policy
Last Day to Withdraw from One or More Courses
March 23, 2015
Courses may be dropped online until midnight on the last day
prior to the first day of classes. From the first day of classes
through the Census Date of fall, spring, and summer semesters
students may drop courses by completing the registration form,
which is available at the ESC (ADM 230). Students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor to discuss options
before dropping courses.
From the day after the Census Date through the Last Day to
Withdraw from One or More Courses of fall, spring and summer
semesters, all withdrawals require a Course Drop or Withdrawal
Request form, which is available at the ESC (ADM 230). For
undergraduate students completing partial withdrawals, the form
must be signed by the course instructor(s), the department
chair or the major college dean; undergraduates completing a
full withdrawal and graduate students do not require these
signatures. All drops at this time should be for urgent, serious
and compelling reasons, and proper signatures are required.
Appropriate signatures are required for all international students,
student athletes, and students receiving scholarship, veteran’s
benefits, or financial aid funds regardless of classification.
Students who are unable to come to campus in person may
submit a written drop request including their name, student
identification number, course(s) from which the student wishes
to withdraw, date, copy of the student’s photo ID and signature by
fax to 903.566.7183, or by mail to: UT Tyler Enrollment Services
Center, 3900 University Blvd., Tyler, TX 75799. Students may
also email drop requests from their Patriot email addresses to
enroll@uttyler.edu; no signature or ID are required. Patriot email
requests, and requests submitted by mail or fax, will require
responses to one or more confirmation emails, and will not be
processed until all necessary confirmations are received; final
processing will be effective as of the original submission date.
As a courtesy, students are encouraged to inform the instructor
for the course that they are dropping the class.
Attention UT Tyler Freshmen
6-Drop Rule (SB 1231)
Any student who began college for the first time as a freshman
in Fall 2007 or thereafter may not drop more than six courses
during their entire undergraduate career. This includes courses
dropped at another 2-year or 4-year Texas public college or
university. For purposes of this rule, a dropped course is any
course that is dropped after the published Census Date.
Exceptions to the 6-drop rule include:
1) students totally withdrawing from the university;
2) students administratively dropped from a course by the
university;
3) dropping a course for a provable illness or disability,
for care for a sick or injured person or for a death in the
immediate family;
4) dropping a course for documented change of work schedule;
5) dropping a course for active duty service with the U.S. armed
forces or Texas National Guard;
6) dropping a course that does not carry college-level credit
such as a developmental course or a zero-credit course; or
7) dropping courses taken as required co-requisites such as
lecture class with a required laboratory. In such cases the
lecture and lab are counted as one drop when dropped at the
same time.
Excessive Hours Rule
Texas Education Code 54.068 allows colleges and universities to
charge a higher tuition rate to students with excessive or repeated
hours because the institution cannot receive state funding for the
courses. UT Tyler charges out-of-state tuition for all coursework
to students with excessive hours.
Students with excessive hours are defined as:
a) Texas resident, undergraduates initially enrolling between the
Fall 1999 and Summer 2006 semesters who exceed more
attempted above the degree requirements, thereby minimizing
the number of courses taken and resulting in financial savings to
students, parents and the state. Application forms are available
in the ESC (ADM 230). Eligibility information can be found in the
Tuition Rebate section at: www.uttyler.edu/registrar/graduation/
tuition_rebate.php
than 45 hours of the number of required hours for their degree
plan,
OR
b) Texas resident, undergraduates initially enrolling Fall 2006
or after who exceed more than 30 hours of the number of
required hours for their degree plan.
Exemption to the payment of higher tuition for repeated hours
is available only in the semester prior to graduation, for only
one term.
