Students who missed Saturday’s drop deadline for fall classes have been granted a reprieve. The new drop date is Saturday, Nov. 22.
   With the implementation of TCC Connect, which uses TCC’s new administrative software, students can no longer access fall class schedules in order to drop since the fall semester was under the previous software system.
   Students must visit the registrar’s office on any campus to process the drop request.
   Students who cannot appear on campus can fax a request to TCC Records Office at 817-515-5278.
   The drop request must include full name, student number (usually the social security number) and the section number for each course to be dropped.
   The student dropping must sign the request.
   Dr. Cathie Jackson, TCC director of admissions and records, said the problem resulted from the one-week overlap of the fall semester drop deadline and the start of early registration for spring.
   With the new system in place, students will once more be able to process drops online after this semester.
