University Withdrawal
If you are considering withdrawing from the University, you are strongly encouraged to consult with your adviser and your Student Affairs Office (mcgill.ca/students/advising/advisordirectory) before making a final decision.
Student's Responsibility
Student's Responsibility
It is solely your responsibility to initiate University withdrawal by submitting a form or writing to your Student Affairs Office. Neither notification of the course instructor nor discontinuing class attendance is sufficient. The date on which you dropped or withdrew from all courses is entered on Minerva and is the official date of withdrawal, even if you had stopped attending lectures earlier.
Note for the Faculties of Arts and Science (including B.A. & Sc.): Requests are made at Service Point (3415 McTavish). However, it is important that you also see a Faculty adviser in Dawson Hall to talk about your options and the effects that your request may have on your studies. For more information, see mcgill.ca/students/advising.
Note for Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies: If you are considering withdrawing from the University, you are strongly encouraged to consult with your academic unit before making a final decision. The date the request for withdrawal is submitted is the official date of withdrawal. Students who do not register in a given term
are subject to University withdrawal. If you wish to return to
complete your program in a later term, you must submit
a Request for Readmission.
Note for Physical and Occupational Therapy: If you are blocked from withdrawing from course(s) in Minerva, you must contact the Student Affairs Office, who will provide you with the proper forms.
