Dropping Courses: What is the Process for Dropping or Withdrawing from a Dual Credit Course?

Before the Census Date:
Before the Census Date (a specific date published by the college), students should inform their high school counselor, professor, and Dallas College Success Coach if they intend to drop their course. They don't need to fill out a Dual Credit Drop Form. However, they must receive confirmation that the college has processed the drop.

After the Census Date:
After the Census Date, a student must complete a Dallas College Drop Form to withdraw from the course properly. The withdrawal dates are listed on the Dallas College Dual Credit website and the student's enrollment documents. Failure to complete the form and inform the student's high school counselor, professor, and Dallas College Success Coach could result in an F on the student's college transcript.

Consequences of Dropping Courses:
Changes or drops can only occur before the deadline per the Academic Calendar and course syllabus list. Students who drop or withdraw before the deadline will receive a W (Withdrawn) in each class dropped. For college courses taken after high school, dropping courses is counted differently than for Dual Credit courses. Dual credit courses are exempt from the six-drop rule when taken while enrolled in high school.

The Last Day to Withdraw:
The Last Day to Withdraw is published each semester by the college. Withdrawals after the Census date will result in a W (Withdrawn) and a failing grade on the student's college transcript. The student may retake the course and improve their grade. However, the failing grade will appear on the transcript. Students with failing grades must pay the tuition, textbooks, and fees for retaking the failed courses.

Watch the Dual Credit Satisfactory video to understand the difference between Satisfactory and Unsatisfactory Academic Standing.

CFBISD Dual Credit students on academic probation must strive for a minimum of 2.00 GPA each semester to continue enrolling. Be aware that counselors may limit the number of courses you can take. To develop an Educational Success Plan, complete the Academic Probation Exercise, review the Satisfactory Academic Progress Video, and meet with your counselor. Remember, retaking courses is the fastest way to improve your GPA. Follow these steps to achieve academic success.
