How do I obtain a student ID Card?
Student ID cards are available to distance education students and may provide benefits such as academic discounts when purchasing software. Students can go to the University ID web site to find out more information about Texas Tech University ID cards.
How do I drop a course or withdraw from the university?
If you are enrolled in two or more classes and wish to drop one, you can access your TechSIS account and drop the class, or fax a letter stating which course you wish to drop to the Office of the Registrar. The Registar's fax number is (806) 742-0355.
You should be aware that you may drop a course through the 12th class day and receive a full refund of tuition and fees. After the 12th class day, students taking more than one course will not be eligible to receive any of the tuition and fees back for individual courses they choose to drop.
If you are enrolled in only one class and wish to drop it, then you will be withdrawing from the university. Depending on the time that you drop the course, you may be eligible to receive a refund of some of your tuition and fees. You may visit the Office of the Registrar website and click on the Withdrawal Information link. This web page will give specific withdrawal dates for the current semester, as well as information and instructions for the withdrawal process.
If you have questions about your payments or wish to discuss extenuating circumstances, please contact Student Business Services at (806)742-3272.
How do I activate my eRaider account?
You may activate your eRaider account by obtaining an Activation Code from IT Help Central at (806) 742-HELP (4357). Once you have the activation code, you will go to the eRaider website and click "Activate Account."
