Also, remember that the payment plan must be set up before the first day of the semester.

Are there any limits to the number of classes I can drop?

If you enrolled at MCC as a first-time freshman in fall 2007 or later, you are restricted by Section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code, which states that MCC or any other Texas public institution of higher education may not permit you to drop more than six courses during your undergraduate career. All courses dropped after the census date of the semester are included in the six-course limit unless (1) you withdraw from all courses or (2) the drop is an approved drop exemption.

Policies and procedures for implementation of this law are being developed and will be published as soon as they are available.

If you're affected by this law and plan to attend another institution of higher education, you should become familiar with that institution's policies on dropping courses, too.
