Dropping a Course

If you wish to withdraw/drop from a course(s) you must complete the online Drop form https://www.stclaircollege.ca/forms/drop-form.  Students who “drop” courses during the first 10 (ten) days from the start of classes, will not have these classes recorded on their transcripts. In addition, dropping classes at this time could affect fees and student full time status. 

If you have questions, please ask the Registrar’s Office for further clarification before dropping classes. As of day 11 (eleven) of class you may “drop” courses within the first two-thirds (2/3) of a given semester. If you drop courses during this time period you will notice that “DROPPED”, “DROP”, or “DR” will appear on your record. 

You may be permitted to drop a course(s) after the “drop” period, excluding the last week of any semester, with the permission of the academic Chair. Grades of Withdraw/Passing (WP) or Withdraw/Failing (WF) will be assigned by the instructor(s) based on your performance at the time of withdrawal. It is your responsibility to complete the paperwork for the assignment of a ‘WP’ or ‘WF’. While ‘WF’ is calculated in the Grade Point Average for the semester, ‘WP’ is not. (see Important dates to Remember for deadline dates). 

IMPORTANT: • NO REFUND will be given for courses dropped after the first 10 days of classes or for Advanced Standing requested after the first 10 days of classes. • NO COURSE(S) CAN BE ADDED after the first 10 days of classes in any semester. • NO COURSE(S) CAN BE DROPPED during the last week of any semester. 

*PLEASE NOTE: If adding a course(s) brings your course contact hours above the program maximum hours, additional fees will be assessed (see Total Contact Hours and Your Tuition). Students should always check with the Registrar’s office regarding their tuition is classes were added outside of the Registrar’s Office.  It is your responsibility to ensure that your Account Summary matches the timetable that you are following. For example, if after registering, any changes in courses or sections occur in your program, you must see Registrar’s Office to correct your registration. Please remember, that if you remain registered in a course you are not taking, an “F” grade will automatically be assigned to that course on your grade report and your transcript. If you take a course which is not listed on your registration, you will not receive credit for the work you have done in that course.
