Dropping Courses

• Refer to Registrar's website for schedule - http://essc.unt.edu/registrar/schedule/scheduleclass.html
• Students may drop a course themselves prior to the Census Date (after the 12th day of class).

• After the 12th class day for fall or spring terms/semesters, or the equivalent date for 8 week and summer sessions, students must first submit a completed Request to Drop Class form to the Registrar's Office. Students applying for financial aid are required to notify Student Financial Aid and Scholarships before dropping any class to learn how it will affect current or future financial aid eligibility.

  Students who drop a course between the 12th day of class and the designated day of a given semester's 10th week for fall or spring terms/semesters or the equivalent dates for 8 week and summer sessions, will receive a grade of W. Refer to online schedule for dates.

Withdrawing

• To withdraw from all classes, students must make a formal request by email, fax or in person with the Registrar's Office.

Incompletes

• An "Incomplete" is a non-punitive grade given only if a student: (1) has completed 75% of the coursework, (2) is passing the course, (3) and has a justifiable and documented reason beyond the control of the student for not completing the work on schedule (i.e. serious illness or military service).
• The student must complete the coursework within one year of granting the grade of "I".
• If the student does not complete the coursework within one year, the student's grade will be changed from "I" to the default grade entered by the instructor or to an "F".

Final Exams

• Faculty members are expected to administer final examinations at the designate times during the semester. See Registrar's website for Final Exam Schedule - http://essc.unt.edu/registrar/schedule/scheduleclass.html
• Students who have as many as three final examinations scheduled on one day may appeal to the Academic Dean to reschedule one of those examinations on another day during the final examination period.
