(Senate Bill 1231)
Under section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, "an institution of higher education may not permit a student to drop more than six courses, including any course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education." This statute was enacted by the State of Texas in spring 2007 and applies to students who enroll in a public institution of higher education as first-time freshman in fall 2007 or later. Exemptions may apply.
Total College Withdrawal Policy
A student who finds it necessary to withdraw from Coastal Bend College before the end of the regular term should confer immediately with his or her success coach. An Add/Drop form must be completed. Failure to do so may result in the issuance of failing grades in all subjects for which the student enrolled. Additionally, an email must be sent to the Registrar informing of plan to completely withdraw from Coastal Bend College. By doing this, it lets the Registrar’s Office know that student no longer wishes to be a student. There is no withdrawal via telephone. Students should contact the Business Office and Financial Aid Office to ensure that they have no holds and complete any necessary documents.
