How to Drop/Withdraw From a Course
You need to officially drop/withdraw from a Post-Secondary course using MyMohawk.
How to Withdraw From a Program
Before applying to withdraw from a program, students are encouraged to meet with your Student Success Advisor or your Academic Area/Faculty.
To withdraw from a program:
Log into your MyMohawk account under the Registration tab select Request to withdraw. Once selected, fill in the required details and information for submission.
Withdrawal Timelines:
The timing of the withdrawal will determine what appears on your academic record:
- To have the course(s) removed from your record, you must officially drop/withdraw from the course(s) within the first ten days of classes.
- Students who officially drop/withdraw from a course(s) after ten days, but within ten weeks of the start of classes will receive a "W"(withdrawn) for the course(s) on their record.
- Students who do not officially drop/withdraw from a course(s) before the end of their first ten weeks of classes will receive the grade(s) earned on their record.
When you withdraw may also impact your T2202 Tuition and Enrolment Certificate including eligible amounts and claimable months. Learn more on the Income Tax Forms web page. Review your withdraw dates with your Student Success Advisor to understand how the timing of your withdraw impacts your academic record.
Can you get your tuition back?
You could receive a partial tuition refund (issued back to the original payment method) if:
- You withdraw before the end of the first ten days of the semester
- The withdrawal changes your status from a full-time to part-time student
- You had paid your full fees
If you are an OSAP recipient, we may be required to refund part or all of your tuition credit to National Student Loans, in accordance with Ministry policy.
Will I still need to pay any fees if I withdraw?
- If you withdraw from studies after the tenth day of term classes and are also a student that registered with a deferred payment plan, you will remain responsible for paying the related deferred term fees by the applicable due date.
- If you withdraw from studies before term day ten, after already selecting your timetable, you will be charged an applicable holdback fee which will be invoiced to you if you did not pay a deposit for the related term in advance of registration.
