Probably need to talk to an adviser but thought I'd ask here first. Is there a way to drop previously earned college credit hours from either HS or freshman year? The grades aren't bad (A's and B's) but I would need to drop 3-4 hours to come in under the maximum hour limit for the program I want to transfer into.

There isn't a way. Why check with Texags before your advisor? This doesn't seem like a wise strategy.

The only way to do it is by using an Academic Fresh Start. This is only available to TX residents and it only wipes away coursework that's 10 years old and older from the semester you apply for. For example, if you apply for Fall 2014, we can only wipe away coursework from Summer 2004 and before.

It's also important to note that it not only wipes away bad grades, but good grades as well. If you wipe away a course you need for your degree, you will have to take that course again.

Just out of curiosity, what program are you trying to get into?

It is sometimes difficult to get an appointment with an advisor...probably wouldn't get in to see one until next week anyway. Figured if anyone had experience with this I could find them on Texags. Thanks for the help though!!

Just seeing about changing majors. I'll be at 64 hrs and most departments won't let you transfer with more than 60.

Gotcha. I thought you were applying as an external transfer student from outside TAMU. Sorry for any confusion.
