Error: "Dropping last class is not allowed" when attempting to drop a class


Symptoms

When attempting to drop every class for a given term, you are presented with the following error message:

Dropping last class is not allowed.

Cause

The registration system will not drop all of the classes for a given term, as that would be a withdraw for that term.

Resolution

If you would like to drop a certain class but still want to take other classes, you will need to have at least one other class registered before you can drop it. If you do not wish to take any classes in a given semester, students can fill out the online withdrawal form to withdraw from Texas Tech for that semester.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of the Registrar.
