HORT Club Meeting

Wednesday, December 2nd

HFSB 104 @ 7PM

Q-Drop Deadline: Friday Nov. 20

The last day to submit a Q-drop request is Friday, November 20th by 5 pm. 

Visit with your academic advisor to process a Q-drop prior to the deadline. 

 

Undergraduate students will normally be permitted four Q-drops during their undergraduate studies; however: State law prohibits students from having more than six dropped courses from all state institutions attended during their undergraduate career if they entered higher education as a first-time enrolled freshman beginning the 2007 fall semester or after. Q-drops in one-hour courses will not count in the Texas A&M limit of four but will be included in the State-mandated limit of six dropped courses. If a lecture and companion lab are dropped at the same time, this will count as one Q-drop rather than two.
