Adding a Course

A course may be added by a student using the online registration self-service portal JagWire, as long as additional approvals are not required. It is highly recommended that a student consult with their academic advisor before attempting to add a course. 

An electronic Add form is now available in Jagwire and can be used when you are receiving registration error messages that prevent the online self-service registration. The online form is located in JagWire in the “Classes and Registration” section, under “Registration Tools”. You will be prompted to log into Laserfiche Forms to access the online form. Please use the same credentials as JagWire. Upon submission of the Add form, you will receive two Jaguar e-mails. The first one is an acknowledgement that your request has been received. The second one will update you on the final status of your request.  Please allow 2-3 business days after submission for the final status update. Students may only add classes during the time specified in the official Academic Calendar. Also, it is the student's responsibility to make-up any missing assignments for courses added after the first day of class. Payment must be made for any additional courses added in order to avoid being dropped from the class.

If you are receiving a a prerequisite error message, you may submit a Registration Override Request for advisor review. 

Financial Aid recipients who process late course additions are encouraged to contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid as this could impact financial aid awards.

Dropping a Course

A course may be dropped by a student without approval from their academic advisor or other university official during the dates noted on the Academic Calendar for each part of term. Students who have been readmitted on academic/scholastic probation must also consult with their success coach or academic advisor prior to dropping.

An electronic Drop form is now available in Jagwire and can be used when online self-service registration is closed. The online form is located in JagWire in the “Classes and Registration” section, under “Registration Tools”. You will be prompted to log into Laserfiche Forms to access the online form. Please use the same credentials as JagWire. Upon submission of the Drop form, you will receive two Jaguar e-mails. The first one is an acknowledgement that your request has been received. The second one will update you on the final status of your request.  Please allow 2-3 business days after submission for the final status update.

It is highly recommended that a student consult with the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid, Student Business Services, Veteran's Affairs Certification Office (if applicable), and Office of International Affairs (if applicable) as this drop request may affect any "financial awards and/or registration obligations."

Failure to attend classes does not constitute proper notification of a drop and the student will continue to be responsible for the course or courses (academically and financially) on the student's schedule. A student will receive a refund only if the drop/withdrawal occurs prior to or during the percentage refund dates for the semester. Please review the Refund Policy on our website.

Senate Bill 1231, passed during the 80th Texas Legislative Session, limits the number of drops that certain undergraduate students may accrue without a punitive grade. Please see the current university catalog for more information.

Withdrawing from the University

Once the student has registered for classes, the student will remain registered unless the student takes action to withdraw from registered classes. If a student drops all their classes, this is considered a withdraw from the semester and the student must follow the following process. Students who have been readmitted on academic/scholastic probation must also consult with their success coach or academic advisor prior to withdrawing

An electronic Withdraw form is available in Jagwire for you to begin the withdraw process. The online form is located in JagWire in the “Classes and Registration” section, under “Registration Tools”. You will be prompted to log into Laserfiche Forms to access the online form. Please use the same credentials as JagWire. Upon submission of the Withdraw form, you will receive two Jaguar e-mails. The first one is an acknowledgement that your request has been received. The second one will update you once the request has been processed.  Please allow 2-3 business days after submission for the final status update. The original date of submission will be honored.

Reinstatement

Students who were dropped from courses for non-payment and wish to be reinstated must be aware that there is a $363.00 reinstatement fee in addition to the required Tuition and Fees. The $363.00 must be paid to the Student Business Services prior to reinstatement in the requested courses. Tuition and Fees must be paid on the same day that the reinstatement occurs. If Tuition and Fees are not paid, the student will be dropped from the courses and will be financially responsible for the full amount of Tuition and Fees.

Students may contact us at registrar@tamusa.edu to obtain the reinstatement form. The form must be approved by the Office of the Provost and Student Business Services before we can reinstate the student. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the office that is handling their tuition payment.

Online add, drop and withdraw forms are available in JagWire.

Reinstatement forms are available through Student Business Services and the Office of the Registrar. Once the Provost Office approves the request, you may take the Reinstatement form to Madla Building, Student Business Services, Room 135 for processing
