Voluntary Withdrawal Reminder
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

This message is being sent to all students who are registered for classes in Winter Term 2014. Please continue reading for important information about the upcoming Voluntary Withdrawal deadline. Winter Term 2014 Voluntary Withdrawal (VW) Deadline March 19, 2014 at 11:59 pm is the last chance for most students to Voluntarily Withdraw (VW) from Winter Term 2014 and Fall 2013/Winter 2014 classes*. Students cannot withdraw from classes after this date. *Registration support is available only until 4:30pm. Deadline may differ for irregularly dated courses <http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/fees/829.html> and School of Agriculture<http://crscalprod1.cc.umanitoba.ca/Catalog/ViewCatalog.aspx?pageid=viewcata…>. Most students will use Aurora to withdraw from courses; students who are on Hold will require assistance from their advising office: Undergraduate<http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/tutorial/academic-advisors.html>, Graduate<http://fgs-webap.cc.umanitoba.ca/contacts/index.php?contact=suppstaff>. Please remember: * No refund will be issued for a VWd course. * VWd courses will be recorded on official transcripts and student histories. Think before you drop... Students are encouraged to discuss VWing a course with their advising office: Undergraduate<http://umanitoba.ca/student/records/tutorial/academic-advisors.html>, Graduate<http://fgs-webap.cc.umanitoba.ca/contacts/index.php?contact=suppstaff>**. Students may consider VWing a class for a variety of reasons - these might include: * The course subject matter was not the same as originally expected; * Your overall course load is too demanding - withdrawing from one class will leave more time for others; * Your program focus has changed and the course is no longer required; * Your mid-term grades were not satisfactory - and you think withdrawing is better than receiving a low or failed grade. Before you decide to VW from a class, be sure to: * Talk with your course instructor about your concerns and if there are strategies for improvement before the end of term; * Talk to an academic advisor about your course load, study strategies, and options for possibly repeating the course later; * Be aware of course load requirements and implications of VW - if you have a government student loan, are a sponsored student, a Bison athlete or are in any other type of situation that requires a minimum course load; * Refer to the U1 Start Book or the Academic Calendar to make sure you know where that course fits into your intended or current program; * Check to see if the course is required as a prerequisite for upper-level courses within your program; * Look at the Summer Session schedule to see if the course is offered again this year. **Graduate studies students who are unable to continue studies this term must contact their department regarding a Leave of Absence.
