Alvin Community College
Course Drop Exception Form
First-year students enrolled in the fall of 2007 or after, for the first time at any Texas public college or university, are
limited to six course drops during their academic career. Students may not drop more than six courses regardless of how
many institutions attended, how many courses taken or how many years attended.
This policy does not apply to courses
dropped prior to census day, complete withdrawals from all courses for the semester, courses taken while attending high
school, developmental courses, drops from private or out of state institutions, and courses dropped during the three week
mini terms
. Drops beyond the maximum of six may be allowed for students who can show good cause for dropping more;
see the exception list below. Once the six course drop limit has been reached, students will not be allowed to drop.
Drops included in the limit will be recorded on the student transcript. Students should discuss their options with a
counselor, advisor, or instructor, as well as making use of campus resources before deciding to drop a course.
Exceptions may be granted by the Vice President of Student Services or designee due to extenuating
circumstances. Exceptions may be made for the following situations. (Check one)
A severe illness or other debilitating condition that affects the student's ability to satisfactorily complete the
course.
Th
e student's responsibility for the care of a sick, injured, or needy person if the provision of that care affects the
student's ability to satisfactorily complete the course.
Th
e death of a person who is considered to be a member of the student's family or who is otherwise considered
to have a sufficiently close relationship to the student that the person's death is considered to be a showing of
good cause.
The active duty service as a member of the Texas National Guard or the armed forces of the United States of
either the student or a person who is considered to be a member of the student's family and such active duty
interferes with the student's ability to satisfactorily complete the course.
Th
e change of the student's work schedule that is beyond the control of the student, and that affects the
student's ability to satisfactorily complete the course.
Other good cause as determined by the institution of higher education.
