Withdrawal from a Course

If you wish to stop attending a class after the last date to drop a course or cancel your registration, you must complete a Withdrawal Request Form on or before the last day to withdraw.

If you withdraw from a class you will receive a "W" grade. "W" grades are not included in the calculation of your grade point average (GPA).

If you do not officially withdraw from course(s) that you have stopped attending, you will receive an "F" grade for those courses. "F" grades are included in the calculation of your GPA and could have a serious impact on your academic status at Mount Royal.

Students are encouraged to consult with their instructor and/or academic advisor before making a decision to withdraw from a course.

Students who withdraw from a course or Mount Royal will NOT receive a fee refund.

Students are encouraged to check with the Student Awards and Financial Aid office if you currently have a student loan or have had a confirmation of enrolment form to make sure you are aware of the implications of withdrawing from the course.

Withdrawal with Cause
You may request approval for a course or complete withdrawal after the withdrawal deadline based on the following reasons:

  1. Serious illness, verified by a physician’s letter; or;
  2. Severe emotional distress, verified in writing from Student Counselling Services or other registered mental health care professional.

You must complete a Request for Late Withdrawal Form from the Registrar’s Office and return it with supporting documentation to the Registrar’s Office on or before the last day of classes. If you follow the proper procedure, you will receive a “Withdrawal with Cause” (WC) on your permanent academic record for all withdrawn courses.

Requests to withdraw from courses or from Mount Royal will not be accepted over the telephone.

Please consult the Academic Calendar for additional details regarding withdrawal from courses or complete withdrawal from Mount Royal.
