Beginning with this past Fall 2007 academic term, and applying to students who enrolled in higher education for the first time during the Fall 2007 academic term or any term subsequent to the Fall 2007 term, an institution of higher education may not permit an undergraduate student to drop a total of more that six courses, including any course a transfer student has dropped at another institution of higher education as defined for this section, unless:

1. The institution has adopted a policy under which the maximum number of courses a student is permitted to drop is less than six; or

2. The student can show good cause for dropping more than that number, including but not limited to showing of:

• A severe illness or other debilitating condition that affects the students ability to satisfactorily complete the course;
• The student's responsibility for the care of a sick, injured, or needy person if the provision of that care affects the student's ability to satisfactorily complete the course;
• The death of a person who is considered to be a member of the student's family or who is otherwise considered to have a sufficiently close relationship to the student that the person's death is considered to be a showing of good cause;
• The active duty service as a member of the Texas National Guard or the Armed Forces of the United States of either the student, or a person who is considered to be a member of the student's family or is otherwise considered to have a sufficiently close relationship to the student that the person's active military service is considered to be a showing of good cause;
• The change of the students work schedule that is beyond the control of the student, and that affects the student's ability to satisfactorily complete the course; or
• Other good cause as determined by the institution of higher education.
