Short-Term Withdrawals

Ryerson Undergraduate students may wish to temporarily withdraw from their program of studies for either the current academic term or for future academic term(s) due to financial, health, personal, academic or other reasons. 

Students are academically and financially responsible for all course enrolments and charges until such time as the University has received notification of a Short Term Withdrawal (prior to the appropriate deadline date for the academic term).  The final deadline date to submit a Short Term Withdrawal Request is the last day to Drop and/or Withdraw from a program (No Refund). These deadline date(s) can be found in the Significant Dates section of the current Undergraduate Calendar.
