Exit Options

Withdrawal Policy

If you decide to withdraw from a course or program, you must consult with your professor and meet with the program coordinator to discuss the implications of dropping a course or withdrawing from the program and to have the “Withdraw” form or “Course Drop” form signed.

Withdrawing from a course or program without academic penalty must be done ‘officially’ by submitting a “Withdraw” form or “Course Drop” from to the Enrolment Services Office before or by the withdrawal deadline date. Refer to the “Important Dates Calendar” for the deadline dates.

Courses on a student’s record after the withdrawal deadline become a part of the student’s permanent official record. Therefore, if you stop attending class without officially withdrawing you may be assigned an F grade at the end of the semester.
