If you are unable to complete a course or courses, it is your responsibility to withdraw formally from the course or courses.
Stop Before You Drop
For students who enrolled in college level courses for the first time in the fall of 2007, Texas Education Code 51.907 limits the number of courses a student may drop. You may drop no more than 6 courses during your entire undergraduate career unless the drop qualifies as an exception.
Remember that once you have accumulated 6 non-exempt drops, you cannot drop any other courses with a "W." Therefore, please exercise caution when dropping courses in any Texas public institution of higher learning, including DCCCD colleges.
If you are dropping a class(es) or withdrawing from all courses, go to the appropriate office listed below on the Central Campus or consult with North Lake College North Campus or North Lake College South Campus for their hours of operation. Complete the drop or withdrawal process with their assistance. Call for office availability.

When withdrawing after the deadline, send a formal written request to the division dean stating why you need to drop the course or courses and written medical or work-related documentation, explaining why you could not withdraw before the last official day.
