Texas Education Code 51.907 Course Drop Limit Provisions
Students who enroll as an entering freshman or a first-time college student in undergraduate courses at any Texas public community college, technical institute, health sciences institution, or any public university offering undergraduate courses must comply with the legislation of TEC51.907.

(Collin College will begin to count withdrawn courses Fall 2009 semester.)

 

Drops after the term census date are considered withdrawals and appear as a "W" on the transcript.
Students are able to withdraw from a class (or classes) on CougarWeb. CougarWeb will process total withdrawals.
