Grade Replacement/Forgiveness and Census Date Policies

Students repeating a course for grade forgiveness (grade replacement) must file a Grade

Replacement Contract with the Enrollment

Services Center (ADM 230) on or before the Census

Date of the semester in which the course will be repeated. Grade Replacement

Contracts are

available in the Enrollment Services Center or at http://www.uttyler.edu/registrar. Each

3 8/12/2022

semester’s Census Date can be

found on the Contract itself, on the Academic Calendar, or in

the information pamphlets published each semester by the Office of the

Registrar.

Failure to file a Grade Replacement Contract will result in both the original and repeated grade

being used to calculate your overall

grade point average. Undergraduates are eligible to

exercise grade replacement for only three course repeats during their career at

UT Tyler;

graduates are eligible for two grade replacements. Full policy details are printed on each Grade

Replacement Contract.

The Census Date is the deadline for many forms and enrollment actions of which students need

to be aware. These include:

 Submitting Grade Replacement Contracts, Transient Forms, requests to withhold directory

information, approvals for taking

courses as Audit, Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit.

 Receiving 100% refunds for partial withdrawals. (There is no refund for these after the

Census Date)

 Schedule adjustments (section changes, adding a new class, dropping without a “W” grade)

 Being reinstated or re-enrolled in classes after being dropped for non-payment

 Completing the process for tuition exemptions or waivers through Financial Aid

State-Mandated Course Drop Policy

Texas law prohibits a student who began college for the first time in Fall 2007 or thereafter from

dropping more than six courses during their entire undergraduate career. This includes courses

dropped at another 2-year or 4-year Texas public college or university.

For purposes of this

rule, a dropped course is any course that is dropped after the census date (See Academic

Calendar for the specific

date).

Exceptions to the 6-drop rule may be found in the catalog. Petitions for exemptions must be

submitted to the Enrollment Services

Center and must be accompanied by documentation of

the extenuating circumstance. Please contact the Enrollment Services Center

if you have any

questions.
