Withdrawal Policy (undergraduate)
Are you withdrawing from UWinnipeg and do not know the next steps?
Please refer to the following guide:
Are you currently registered in any courses?
- If you are planning to leave the University before the add/drop deadline, drop all your courses through WebAdvisor/Student Planning to avoid getting charged.
- If you are leaving the institution after the add/drop date but before the final drop deadline (voluntary withdrawal date), please withdraw from your courses through WebAdvisor/Student Planning before the voluntary withdrawal date to avoid getting an ‘F’ in your courses.
- If you are leaving the institution after the final drop date, you will not be able to drop your courses. You can see the drop deadlines for each term HERE.
- *DO NOT* simply stop attending class, as you will receive an F on your transcript. This will remain on your academic record and may transfer with you or impede your ability to apply for academic programs at UWinnipeg, or other institutions, in the future.
Have you informed ISS about your decision to leave the institution?
