Students who drop to zero (0) hours in a semester or term must officially withdraw from the University. This process is initiated in the office of the student's academic dean. Students may withdraw by the deadline for Q-dropping (50th class day of a fall or spring semester; 15th class day of a 5-week summer term; 35th class day of a 10-week summer semester). After the deadline, deans may permit students to withdraw under non-academic extenuating circumstances.

Withdrawals cannot be granted once final exams have begun. Click here for the Student Request for Official Withdrawal form and specific withdrawal instructions.

For additional information about withdrawing from the University, see Part I, Section 17 of the Texas A&M University Student Rules.
