Based on this law, when you graduate from high school and continue your college education, DCCCD or any other Texas public institution of higher education may not permit students to drop more than six college-level credit courses for unacceptable reasons during their entire undergraduate career without penalty.

Section 51.907 of the Texas Education Code applies to students who enroll in a Texas public institution of higher education for the first time in fall 2007 or later. Based on this law, when you graduate from high school and continue your college education, DCCCD or any other Texas public institution of higher education may not permit students to drop more than six college-level credit courses for unacceptable reasons during their entire undergraduate career without penalty.

(a.) For matters alleging sexual misconduct involving an ECHS student, the ISD and College shall work cooperatively to investigate and provide a prompt and equitable resolution. Sexual misconduct is any act of sex/gender-based discrimination or harassment, sexual harassment, sexual violence, sexual exploitation, relationship violence, sex/gender-based stalking, or any other conduct that threatens the health and safety of any person on the basis of actual, expressed or perceived gender identity. (b.) The ISD shall promptly report to College administration disciplinary problems involving ECHS students, including any complaints of sexual misconduct. College may, at its sole discretion, refuse to admit students with a history of disciplinary problems.
