Natural Sciences uses the university calendar for purposes of registration, adding and dropping courses, and withdrawing from the University.
The general schedule is as follows:
Days 1 - 4, add via ROSE Days 5 - 12, add in the departments (at their discretion) Days 1 - 12, drop via ROSE Day 13 on, come to WCH 1.106
Dropping a class up to the 12th class day results in tuition money refunded if the drop is to a different level on the flat-rate tuition scale and classes do not appear on the permanent record. Not attending does not automatically drop you from classes or withdraw you from UT; you need to do that yourself through the CNS Dean's Office. Always double-check your final schedule before the 12th class day. Withdrawal from the university is done after a student has competed registration for a semester or summer session, and then decides not to attend any classes that semester or session. After Day 12 transactions can be initiated in the CNS Dean's Office (WCH 1.106) or in the student's assigned major advising center. On Days 13 - 20 students may drop for any reason by coming to WCH 1.106 or an assigned advising center. A "Q" appears on the record to indicate a drop with a passing grade and with no refund. This is considered to be "without a possible academic penalty." On Day 21 through the 10th week of classes (exact dates are on the university calendar in the Course Schedule), the instructor will assign a "Q" or "F" if you choose to drop a class, and if the instructor agrees to approve the drop. If the student has a grade of "C" or higher, a "Q" is assigned. If an "F" is assigned, the "F" will be on the record and is calculated into the GPA. ROSE will not permit you to withdraw. You must do this in the CNS Dean's Office. If it is not possible to come to the office, please call (512) 471-4536. During the first four weeks of class there is a pro-rated refund for withdrawing from school. A full refund, less $15.00, is ONLY given if a student withdraws prior to the first day of class. Failure to properly withdraw results in failing grades in all semester coursework. Leaving UT without a formal withdrawal is the same as failing all classes and has the same consequences. After the final deadline, students may not drop or withdraw unless there are serious non-academic circumstances, which occurred after the Q/F deadline date. Appeals will only be considered for documented, non-academic reasons. Contact the CNS Dean's Office, WCH 1.106, (512) 471-4536 for non-academic issues.
