Most program students are able to drop their courses online up until the last day to add a course as published in the academic schedule. After that date, course drops must be done through your University/Faculty Advisor.
If you are an Open Studies or Extension Studies student, you must complete, sign and submit a Course Add/Drop/Withdrawal Notice form to your home campus Information Centre or the Office of the Registrar at the City Centre Campus. If you are unable to drop a course(s) in person, contact the Office of the Registrar at (780) 497-5000.
Notifying your instructor, ceasing to attend classes, or stopping payment on a cheque will NOT be accepted as a course(s) drop.
Program students that have the ability to register for courses online using myStudent System can also drop courses via the web up until the last day to add a course. This date is published on your academic schedule for each term.
Program Withdrawal
If you are withdrawing from MacEwan, please fill out a "Add/Drop/Withdrawal Notice" form and submit it to your home campus Information Centre or the Office of the Registrar.
Tips
- If your course has both a "lecture" and "lab" component or an "X/Y" section, please ensure that you withdraw from both sections.
- Confirm your final registration selection by viewing your class schedule. You have been charged tuition fees on all selected courses.
- Be aware of all refund policies and applicable academic withdrawal dates; refer to your Registration Guide or Calendar.
If you wish to drop a course after the last day to add a course as published in the academic schedule, you must visit your University/Faculty Advisor and the Office of the Registrar.
- Complete a Course Add/Drop/Withdrawal Notice form indicating the course(s) you no longer wish to be registered in.
- Obtain a signature from your Program Chair or designate (usually your University/Faculty Advisor).
- Submit the completed form to the Information Centre at your home campus or the Office of the Registrar at the City Centre Campus.
Note: Any changes may alter your current fee assessment. See the Refund Policies section for more information.
After the "Add Deadine" each term, if you drop a course you will receive a grade of "W" on your transcript.
