Drop & Withdrawal Tuition Policy
If you are unable to start or complete the course(s) for which you have enrolled,
it is your responsibility to officially drop/withdraw from the course(s) through proper
procedures. Failure to follow the drop/withdrawal procedures could result in grades
of “X” or “F.”
Students may drop courses through Texan Connect, the Admissions and Records Office
or Advising and Testing Center through the late registration period.
After registration has closed, a student must complete the online Student Initiated Drop Request to drop a course.
Students may also drop courses in person at any campus location by completing a Student Initiated Drop Form. Complete a Student Initiated Drop Form and return the signed form to the Levelland Admissions and Records Office, the Lubbock Career & Technology Center, or the Plainview Center. You must have a picture ID to complete the drop.
Please review the Academic Calendar for information on the last day to drop or withdraw from a class without receiving a grade. For more information, please visit our “Dropping a Course” section of the catalog at: http://catalog.southplainscollege.edu/content.php?catoid=54&navoid=1597#dropping_a_course
**For information on the last day to withdraw and still be eligible for a partial
reduction of tuition and fees, please see “Tuition & Fee Reduction Policy” below.
Effective Fall 2007 Semester, students who enroll in college for the first time during
the Fall 2007 academic term or after, an institution of higher education may not permit
an undergraduate student to drop a total of more than six (6) courses, including any
course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education.
During late registration, students may modify their schedules through their TexanConnect
account, but not completely withdraw. Once classes begin, students will need to follow
the procedures above to completely withdraw from the semester.
Tuition & Fee Reduction Policy
The tuition and fee reduction policy of South Plains College is based on the understanding that student tuition and fees provide only a fraction of the cost of providing educational opportunities. When a student enrolls in a class, he or she reserves a place which cannot be made available to another student until he or she officially drops the class. Also, a student’s original enrollment represents a sizeable cost to the College whether the student continues in the class. Therefore, the policy below will be followed without exception, regardless of the reason for withdrawal. These schedules are subject to change without notice.
1. Students who OFFICIALLY WITHDRAW from the institution shall have applicable tuition and fees reduced according to
the following schedule. The last day to completely withdraw and receive a 100% credit of tuition and fees
for Fall 2024 is August 25th, and for Spring 2025 is January 12th.
