Course Withdrawals and Refunds
Once registered for a course, you are responsible for the fees. If you decide not to follow the course, you must officially withdraw.
Simply not attending classes or informing the instructor does not constitute an official withdrawal.

You can add or drop a course in one of two ways:
- Online using Minerva (Registration Menu)
- In person by completing a βCourse Change Formβ available at www.mcgill.ca/continuingstudies/current-students/registration/add-change-or-drop-course and bringing it to the Client Services Office
You can change sections, add, and drop courses only during the add/drop period. You will be charged a $20 administrative fee for each course dropped. Refer to the Important Dates Supplement for specific add/drop dates. Courses dropped before and during the Late Registration and add/drop period will not show on your record.

How to Withdraw From a Course β Grade of βWβ
You can withdraw from a course in one of two ways:
- Online using Minerva (Registration Menu)
- In person by completing a βRequest for Course Withdrawal Formβ available at www.mcgill.ca/continuingstudies/current-students/registration/course-withdrawal and bringing it to the Client Services Office.
There are two withdrawal periods for the Fall and Winter terms; one with a refund and one without a refund.
It is very important that you take note of the deadlines for obtaining a refund.
If you miss the fee refund deadline, you are responsible for all course fees. During both withdrawal periods, you may withdraw from course(s) using Minerva. You will be given a grade of βW,β which does not affect your CGPA. Failure to officially withdraw will result in a grade of βJβ (incomplete/failure), which counts as β0β in GPA calculations.
Official registration and withdrawal dates are published before the start of each term. Refer to the Important Dates Supplement for specific dates.
