There are several easy components you can include to create a more learner-centered syllabus and help your students succeed: Suggestions about how to plan for the tasks of the course, how much time to spend on assignments outside of class meeting times, or how to do well on certain assignments (Parkes & Harris 2002).
One widespread point of confusion about course drops is how they affect grade point average (GPA). Dropping a class does not affect your GPA. Only letter grades (A, B, C, D, and F) count toward GPA. You do not receive letter grades for dropped courses.
TTU Definition: A full-time undergraduate student that is enrolled in courses totaling 12 or more credit hours per semester. A full-time graduate student is enrolled in nine or more credit hours per semester.
Classifications for registration are based on hours completed at the end of the summer 2017 semester (90 or more hours, senior; 60-89 hours, junior; 30-59 hours, sophomore; 0-29 hours, freshman).
Failing & Then Re-Taking a Class Croskey notes that dropping a class is better than withdrawing, but withdrawing is better than failing. “A failing grade will lower the student's GPA, which may prevent a student from participating in a particular major that has a GPA requirement,” Croskey says.
If you withdraw from a course during an otherwise "normal" semester, most people judging your transcript from the perspective of graduate school admissions will assume that you were not doing well in the course. If you later complete the course with a good grade (A or B), this won't matter much.
Being a full-time student means taking a "normal load" of 15 to 16 semester credit hours or above each semester.
9 hours9 hours is considered full-time for summer.

The course should be a 1000- or 2000-level course. Requests for higher-level courses are strongly discouraged and must be accompanied by a justification that explains why a lower-level course cannot be substituted for the upper-level one.
The course must not have any prerequisites unless there is a clear sequence of courses in the component area such as MATH 1300 and Math 2300 or CHEM 1307 and CHEM 1308. In the case of sequenced courses, both courses must be submitted together and approved concurrently.
