Q-Drops Deadline: April 15 @ 5pm If you are a current undergraduate in a College of Fine Arts degree major, please visit Texas One Stop’s Academic Q-Drops website to request a Q-drop. Students are allowed six Q-drops while at UT Austin. This request is non-reversible once approved. If you are unsure about dropping a course, please reach out to your academic advisor well in advance of the deadline to discuss your situation. If the posted deadline has passed, see the One-Time Exception Q-drop or Withdrawal section below. Pass/Fail Grading Status Change Deadline: April 15 @ 5pm From your my.utexas.edu e-mail account, please reach out to cofastudentaffairs@austin.utexas.edu to change a course to (or from) a pass/fail grading status. Please include the course and unique number (e.g., MUS 305, unique 25250) and acknowledge that you understand that courses taken on a pass/fail basis apply toward degree requirements only as electives. Undergraduates must have completed 30 or more credit hours to take a course on the pass/fail basis. If you are unsure about making a pass/fail change, please reach out to your academic advisor well in advance of the deadline to discuss your situation. Withdrawal (dropping to zero hours) Deadline: April 15 @ 5pm Prior to the deadline, students may withdraw for any reason. Please reach out to cofastudentaffairs@austin.utexas.edu from your my.utexas.edu e-mail account to initiate a withdrawal; include your availability for a one-on-one online or in-person meeting with a Student Affairs staff member. Though their permission is not required to withdraw, they’ll review options, resources, and readmission items with you before finalizing the request. If the posted deadline has passed, see the One-Time Exception Q-drop or Withdrawal section below. One-Time Exception Q-Drop or Withdrawal Deadline: April 27 @ 5pm The One-Time Exception (OTE) can only be used once while at UT Austin. The OTE provides an opportunity to drop a course or withdraw through the last class day of the semester. To submit an OTE Q-drop request, please visit Texas One Stop’s Academic Q-Drops website. For an OTE withdrawal, please send a written request to cofastudentaffairs@austin.utexas.edu from your my.utexas.edu e-mail account. Medical Withdrawals Application Window: April 16 through April 27 @ 5pm Requests for a medical withdrawal are only accepted after the mid-semester deadline has passed; medical withdrawals appear no differently on a student’s academic record than non-medical withdrawals. After the mid-semester deadline, students may withdraw by using their OTE (see above) or by obtaining approval for a medical withdrawal. For information on Medical Withdrawals, please visit University Health Services.
