Limits
on the Number of Courses that May be Dropped by Undergraduate
Students
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
institution of higher education.” This statute was enacted by
the State of Texas in spring 2007 and applies to undergraduate
students who enroll in a public institution of higher education
as first-time freshmen in fall 2007 or later. Any course that a
student drops after the census date is counted toward the
six-course limit if “(1) the student was able to drop the course
without receiving a grade or incurring an academic penalty; (2)
the student’s transcript indicates or will indicate that the
student was enrolled in the course; and (3) the student is not
dropping the course in order to withdraw from the institution.”
