Deadline Day!

The deadline to Q-Drop, withdraw, change a course to or from pass/fail, and to apply to graduate is 5 p.m. on October 22nd, 2008.

To do all of the above other than apply for graduation (in most cases - see * below), you need to go to GEB 2.200. Please bring a photo ID with you. (Note that there is no refund for dropping or withdrawing this late in the semester.)

Q-Dropping
You must get your professor's permission to drop the course, and may also need the permission of an academic advisor and/or the International Office, depending on your situation. After obtaining all required signatures, please return the form to our office.

There is a new academic Q-drop policy for all undergraduate students who entered any publicly funded Texas institution of higher education in Fall 2007 or later. Students under this policy are allowed only six academic Q-drops.

Withdrawing
You may be required to get the approval of the Office of Student Financial Services, a Student Division academic advisor, or the International Office. You will be advised whether these signatures are necessary when you pick up the form. After obtaining all required signatures, please return the form to our office.

Changing a course to or from pass/fail
When you pick up the form, you will be advised of the conditions for changing the grade status of a course to or from pass/fail. In certain situations students may need to see a Student Division academic advisor before changing a course to pass/fail.

Applying to Graduate
Students may apply online to graduate by going to: http://www.utexas.edu/cola/graduation/

* If you are graduating with majors in two colleges, you will need to apply in person with a Student Division academic advisor. Other situations may require that you apply in person, so please call our office or come in if you have any problems applying online.

The Student Division is located in Gebauer 2.200. Their phone number is 512-471-4271. Our front desk is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Their advising hours are as follows, but are subject to change:

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays: 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
Tuesdays and Thursdays: 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
