Student Drop Procedure

Updated August 2025

1.8 | Student Drop Procedure

1.8.A | Refer to the University calendar on Buff Connect for the last day to add or drop courses. Classes dropped on or before 12th class day in regular semesters (fourth class day in summer sessions) will not be reflected on the student's transcript. Classes dropped prior to the last day to drop or withdraw will reflect the grade of "X" (drop passing). Restrictions will prevent dropping classes on Buff Advisor. For more information review the WTAMU Student Catalog for the current academic year.

1.8.B | If a faculty member charges a student in one of their classes with a violation of the Academic Integrity Code (AIC) and the student drops the class before the issue has been resolved, the faculty member may submit a grade change at the end of the semester to the Registrar's Office changing the students grade from "X" to "XF," and indicating that the change is due to a violation of the Academic Integrity Code. This may only occur when the faculty member determines that the appropriate penalty for the AIC violation is a failing grade in the class.
