A student may, with the consent of his/her instructor and the dean, drop a course by filling out the prescribed UP Form 26 before three-fourths of the hours prescribed for the semester/ trimester/quarter term have elapsed, and not later. Any student who drops a course without the approval of the dean shall have his/her registration privileges curtailed or entirely withdrawn. If a subject is dropped after the middle of the term, the faculty member concerned shall indicate the date and the class standing of the student at the time of dropping as either Passing or Failing solely for administrative guidance [Art. 350, 669th EC meeting, Sept. 3, 1975].

The dropping fee is P10 per unit [As approved at the 966th BOR meeting, March 29, 1984].

Any college may enact special rules on dropping of courses, which would meet their particular needs; provided that said rules do not have the effect of relaxing the preceding general regulations [Art. 352, University Code, 1961].
