Withdrawal Information

Courses may be dropped online until 4 p.m. on the last day of online (early) registration.

Before the census date of fall, spring, and summer semesters students may drop courses by completing the registration form (which is available in the Office of the Registrar).  Students are encouraged to meet with their academic advisor to discuss options before dropping courses. Students who are unable to come to campus in person must submit a written request to drop a course.  The request should contain the student’s name, student identification number, course(s) from which the student wishes to withdraw, date, copy of the student’s photo ID and signature. The request will be processed as of the date received.

Requests can be mailed to UT Tyler, Office of the Registrar, 3900 University Blvd., Tyler, TX 75799 or faxed to 903.565.5705, or emailed from the student’s Patriot email address to registration@mail.uttyler.edu.  Email requests from the student’s Patriot email address do not require either a copy of the student’s photo ID or a signature.  As a courtesy, students are encouraged to inform the instructor for the course that they are dropping the class.

Dropping a class after the census date of fall, spring, and summer semesters requires a drop form.  Drop forms are available in the Office of the Registrar.  The drop form must be signed by the course instructor, the department chair, or the major college Dean.  All drops at this time should be for urgent, serious and compelling reasons, and proper documentation is required.  The drop process is not complete until the signed drop form is returned to the Office of the Registrar.

Dropping or withdrawing from classes may affect financial aid eligibility, veteran’s benefits, athletic eligibility or international student status.  Students should consult with those departments prior to dropping or withdrawing.
