The deadline date for declaring your intention for May graduation is January 31; for October graduation, August 1; and for February graduation, September 30. After indicating your expected date of graduation, you will receive a verification letter from the Registrar’s Office.

If you need to change your graduation date after declaration is made you must contact the General Office of your faculty or school

8.2 Voluntary Withdrawal (VW) from Courses
When considering whether or not to drop a course, note that not all your fees are refunded, and the actual refundable amount is based on when you withdraw. (See Withdrawal and Refund Dates for withdrawal and fee refund dates and deadlines) . In addition, courses dropped after the revision period will appear on your academic record as VW. To withdraw from any course, or an entire program of studies, you must use Aurora Student if you are eligible to do so.

You do not “drop” or voluntarily withdraw from a course by simply not attending class, or not paying your fees. You must complete the voluntary withdrawal procedures.

If you are registered in a faculty/school that does not register through Aurora Student, you must initiate your withdrawal action in person, or in writing, through the general office of your faculty or school.
Students who registered using Aurora Student must withdraw through Aurora Student.

If you are a student with a scholarship, bursary, or student loan, a voluntary withdrawal may affect your eligibility for that financial support. Before withdrawing, consult Financial Aid and Awards, 422 University Centre Phone: (204) 474-8197) for information on the impact voluntary withdrawal may have on your financial assistance.

8.3 Authorized Withdrawal (AW) from Courses

Should you wish to apply for an authorized withdrawal, see a student advisor in your faculty or school or at the University 1 Student Help Centre as may be applicable. Receipt of an Authorized Withdrawal does not necessarily result in a tuition refund.
