Withdrawal Policy

Short Summer 2016 – May 27 Long Summer 2016 – July 11 Summer I 2016 – June 27 Summer II 2016 – August 1 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 [email protected]; 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 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. For assistance or clarification of these rules, please contact the ESC (ADM 230).

Student Email Policy

UT Tyler’s Patriot Email system serves as the electronic communication source for corresponding with students. Upon acceptance for admission to UT Tyler, students are issued a unique Patriot Email address. Please check your Patriot Email account regularly. Important information from the university will be distributed to you through your Patriot Email account, and it will be the communication source for BlackBoard.

Tuition Rebate for Qualified Undergraduates

The Tuition Rebate Program for Qualified Undergraduates, in accordance with Section 54.0065 of the Texas Education Code, provides a financial incentive (up to $1000) for a student to complete the bachelor’s degree with no more than 3 credit hours attempted above the degree requirements, thereby minimizing the number of courses taken and resulting in financial savings to students, parents and the state.
