SDBOR Limits Drops Starting Fall 2015

In an effort to bolster completion, students will be limited to 6 course drops beginning in the Fall 2015 term.

• Limit of six course drops per student (Science Labs are excluded)
• The count will start with Fall 2015.
• Based on SDBOR courses.

A grade of withdrawal (W) may be assigned only six times during a student’s undergraduate career. If the student drops additional classes, a grade of failure (F) will be assigned. This limit will begin with the fall semester of 2015.

Withdrawal grades assigned to continuously enrolled students prior to this term will not count against the limit. This limit does not include "W" grades assigned if a student withdraws from all classes in a given term. The campus chief academic officer may make exceptions to this requirement in those cases where there are unique factors.
