Ive heard that some people don have to follow the new rules about dropping and retaking classes?
Everyone entering Texas Tech in the fall of 2004 or later is subject to the new rules regulating dropping a course and retaking a class (see details in the “Undergraduate Academics” section of your university catalog). Students who enrolled prior to fall 2004 are allowed to follow the rules that were in existence at the time of their enrollment. Eventually those students will graduate and everyone enrolled at Texas Tech will follow the same academic regulations, all designed to help you graduate on time.
