The following information provides helpful guidelines to a variety of enrollment processes Fine Arts Student Affairs can support you with. For non-academic support, please see CMHC for mental health resources, SES for emergency situations, and SSD for disability services. Thank you!
One-Time Exception Drop (only can be used once while at UT Austin)
Deadline: Monday, April 24th (last day of class) @ 5pm
If you are a current undergraduate in a College of Fine Arts degree major, you may submit request to drop a class from your schedule via a One-Time Exception (OTE). This gives the student the ability to drop a course through the last class day. As the name implies, this can only be done once at UT Austin. If you would like to submit a One-Time Exception request, please email cofastudentaffairs@austin.utexas.edu to initiate that process.
Medical Withdrawals (dropping to zero hours)
Deadline: Monday, April 24th (last day of class) @ 5pm
The only way to withdraw from the semester is via either an OTE withdrawal or a medical withdrawal. To use an OTE withdrawal, please email cofastudentaffairs@austin.utexas.eduto initiate that process.
To apply for a medical withdrawal, please visit University Health Services website for information on the process.
Pass/Fail Grading Status Change
Deadline: Tuesday, March 21st @ 5pm
Please email cofastudentaffairs@austin.utexas.edu with your EID, the course number, and the unique number for the course you’d like to change to pass/fail status. Please note: changing a class to pass/fail status typically means it will not apply to your degree requirements, unless the course specifically is listed in the course schedule as pass/fail only.
Q-Drops
Deadline: Tuesday, March 21st @ 5pm
If you are a current undergraduate in a College of Fine Arts degree major, please fill out this Qualtrics form to request a Q-drop. Students are allowed six Q-drops while at UT Austin. This request is non-reversible once submitted.
Late Adding Coursework
After the 4th class day of a session, students must appeal to late add courses for the Spring 2023 semester. Course adds will only be considered in extraordinary circumstances. If you forgot to register for a class you are attending, or need to late add a class, please contact our office via cofastudentaffairs@austin.utexas.edu. Instructor approval of the course you’d like to add will be required.
