At the University of Texas, a Q Drop is the only way to drop a course after the 12th class day. You must get the Dean of your school's approval along with the approval of your professor. The professor assigns you a Q for the dropped course if your grades are satisfactory, and an F if they are not. Either a Q or an F will appear on your transcript depending on the prof's decision.

This is the perfect solution for the hotshot Liberal Arts freshman who decided he wanted to take Astronomy for Engineering and Science majors just because he could.
