Course Withdrawals and Refunds
Course Withdrawals and Refunds for Continuing Studies Students
Once registered for a course, you are responsible for the fees. If you decide not to follow the course, you must officially withdraw.
Simply not attending classes or informing the instructor does not constitute an official withdrawal.

You can change sections, add, and drop courses only during the add/drop period. You will be charged a $20 administrative fee for each course dropped.

You can withdraw from a course in one of two ways:
- Online using Minerva (Registration Menu)
- In person by completing a 鈥淩equest for Course Withdrawal Form鈥� available at mcgill.ca/continuingstudies/current-students/registration/course-withdrawal and bringing it to the Client Services Office
There are two withdrawal periods for the Fall and Winter terms; one with a refund and one without a refund.
It is very important that you take note of the deadlines for obtaining a refund.
If you miss the fee refund deadline, you are responsible for all course fees. During both withdrawal periods, you may withdraw from course(s) using Minerva. You will be given a grade of 鈥淲,鈥� which does not affect your CGPA. Failure to officially withdraw will result in a grade of 鈥淛鈥� (incomplete/failure), which counts as 鈥�0鈥� in GPA calculations.
Official registration and withdrawal dates are published before the start of each term. Refer to the Important Dates Supplement for specific dates.

Effective Date for Refunds
Effective Date for Refunds in the School of Continuing Studies
It is solely your responsibility to initiate a course change (i.e., add/drop/withdrawal) by submitting a form to your student affairs office. Neither notification of the course instructor nor discontinuing class attendance is sufficient.
The effective date for refunds will be the date on which the official Course Change Form was completed or the date the change was made on Minerva.
Refunds are not automatically issued as a result of course changes. You must specifically request a refund in writing; otherwise, any amount owing to you as a result of a course withdrawal or overpayment will be credited to your fee account.
Note: Special rules for refunds will apply for courses of 10 sessions or less or for courses of a specialized nature. For specific details, contact the academic area.
If you are a full-time 海角社区 degree student registered in a Continuing Studies course, the Continuing Studies course change deadlines do not apply to you; see mcgill.ca/importantdates for deadlines that apply to your faculty.
Refund Request
To make a request for a refund, log into Minerva and follow the Student Accounts menu.
If you withdraw from your only course, your 海角社区 ID card must also be returned since it is the property of 海角社区.
