63.3 Withdrawal from the University
Subject to the provisions specified in §63.2, a student may withdraw from the University at any time but should seek advice from Faculty advisors or Student Counselling Services before taking such action. Further information regarding fee refunds or exemption from fees is found in §22.2.9.
63.3.1 Discontinuance of Attendance
Students must apply for permission before discontinuing their registration if they wish to retain their place in the program and not be required to requalify. The consequence of unapproved discontinuances is the requirement to requalify in accordance with provisions in force at the time of reapplication.
Individuals registered as students in the Faculty of Business must have the permission of the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Program, if they wish to discontinue their attendance and retain their status in good standing in the Faculty. | |
Students given permission to discontinue their program may not take academic coursework elsewhere unless explicitly permitted to do so in writing. | |
Students mentioned in (1) above are still required to submit an application for readmission when they choose to return to the program. | |
Discontinuance is defined to be no course completions for a full Fall/Winter (September-April). | |
Normally, discontinuance will be allowed for many reasons related to an individual's well-being. These may include health reasons, the necessity for personal reflection or other similar reasons, and they may or may not relate to employment. It is expected that a date of recommencement and expression of commitment to degree completion are established at the time discontinuance is allowed. | |
Discontinuance is not permitted to enable the student to pursue another academic degree or program at the University of Alberta or elsewhere. |
