University 1
Section 2: Regulations
2.3 Course Withdrawal
Students are strongly encouraged to speak to a University 1 student advisor prior to dropping a course to discuss the ramifications of the decision to VW and create a recovery plan. Dropping a course may adversely affect eligibility to transfer to a target faculty.
Authorized Withdrawal: Students with valid and documented reasons for withdrawal, such as medical illness or compassionate circumstances, may be authorized to withdraw from a course(s) without academic penalty. These "authorized withdrawals" (AWs) may only be approved by the University 1 Student Help Centre. AWs are not counted toward the limit of 30 credit hours of VWs and do not subject a student to Limited Access. See Voluntary Withdrawal from Programs and Courses General Policy, General Academic Regulations and Policy.
Students may drop courses without penalty during the two week registration revision period at the beginning of each term. After this time, courses dropped will be counted as "voluntary withdrawals" (VWs). VWs should normally be initiated by the student, using the telephone registration system. VWs are not permitted after the deadlines posted in the Academic Schedule as well as in the Registration Guide.
University 1 students are limited to 30 credit hours of VWs (i.e., courses dropped after the normal registration revision period). VWs accumulated while in University 1 may count toward the VW limit in the faculty or school a student enters following University 1. See each faculty or school regarding the transfer of VWs from University 1.
