 The drop procedure found below must be completed and the request form must be turned into the Registrar's Office No Later Than 4 p.m. by the deadline date. Drops will be processed based on the date the request was received by the Registrar's Office.

Step 1

Complete the form

Once the registration period has ended, students must submit a Q-Drop Request Form to the Registrar's Office in order to be dropped from a class. The form must be filled out completely and correctly before it will be considered.

Dropping to zero credit hours for the semester is considered a withdrawal. A Q-Drop form will not be accepted as an official withdrawal request. In order to withdraw, students must submit an Official Withdrawal Request Form.

Step 2

Get Approval

The Q-Drop Request Form must be signed by an authorized advisor. Who can sign as the authorized advisor depends on the course type and campus location.

Additional Approval

Depending on the student and/or the course, additional approval may be required before the drop can be processed.

Step 3

Submit the form

There are several options for students to submit their completed, signed drop form:

  • In Person at the front counter of the Registrar's Office located inside the Administration Building
  • By Fax at (254) 968-9389
  • By Email at registrar@tarleton.edu
