Important Dates

Friday, March 15, 2024: Last day for academic withdrawal from full winter, late winter and fall/winter courses.

Friday, March 15, 2024: Last day to request Formal Examination Accommodation Forms for April full winter, late winter, and fall/winter final examinations to the Paul Menton Centre.

 

Academic Withdrawal Deadline - Friday, March 15

Although the deadline has passed for receiving a financial adjustment when you withdraw from a course, you may drop a course to avoid a failure or a poor grade showing up on your student record and affecting your CGPA. This is called Academic Withdrawal.

Academic Withdrawals will create no financial change to winter term fees and will result in a grade of Withdrawn (WDN) appearing on your official transcript. WDN is a permanent notation signifying no academic credit. WDN will not impact your CGPA.

The Academic Withdrawal deadline for full winter, late winter and fall/winter courses is Friday, March 15, 2024. After this date, you will not be able to drop the course. For all academic deadlines, review the academic year calendar.
