How to Withdraw

Click on one of the following titles to go directly to that section:

You must officially notify the College if you choose not to complete a program or course in which you're registered. Failing to do so can:

• cost you money, as you may be eligible for a refund on tuition, or it may impact on student allowances
• affect future acceptance into programs at Nunavut Arctic College or other post-secondary institutions by leaving a grade of N (Not Completed Requirements) or a NC (No Credit) failing grade on your student record (successful withdrawal means that Withdrawal will be recorded beside the program or course in question).

NOTE: Withdrawal dates, penalties, refunds and withdrawal fees associated with withdrawal from programs and courses offered in partnership with another post-secondary institution are subject to that institution's policies. Refer to that institution's calendar for more information.

Withdrawal from a Weekday, Daytime Program

To withdraw from a weekday, daytime NAC program (programs NOT administered by the Continuing Education department), you must advise the instructor in writing. The instructor will complete a Program Completion/Withdrawal form authorizing possible refund of tuition. Your campus registrar or designate must receive the form no more than three weeks after your first day of classes in your first year of study.

To qualify for a refund, you must attach a copy of the Student Registration Form. Refunds will be awarded as follows:

100 per cent refund
Withdrawal form received at least two weeks prior to the first day of classes.

50 per cent refund
Withdrawal form received up to three weeks after classes begin.

No refund on current term
Withdrawal form received more than three weeks after classes commence.

Submit the form(s) to the campus through which your program is administered.

Withdrawal from a Weekday, Daytime Course or Workshop

To remain in your program while withdrawing from one or more weekday, daytime courses or workshops (NOT Continuing Education courses or workshops), you must complete a Student Registration Form showing that you have dropped the course. Your campus registrar or designate must receive the form prior to the delivery of the third class.

Refunds will be awarded as follows:

100 per cent refund
Student Registration Form received two weeks prior to the first day of class.

90 per cent refund
Student Registration Form received after two weeks prior to the first class and before the third class.

No refund
Student Registration Form received after delivery of the third class.

Submit the form(s) to the campus through which your program is administered.

Withdrawal from a Continuing Education (Evening/Weekend) Course

If you are enrolled in a Continuing Education course -- generally, any credit or non-credit course or program offered on a part-time basis outside of the regular daily schedule -- you will have registered through the Continuing Education department or adult educator, and not the Registrar.

Withdrawal from a Continuing Education course -- and application for a possible refund -- is also accomplished through the Continuing Education department and NOT through the registrar.

The Coordinator of Continuing Education must receive notice of withdrawal prior to the delivery of the third class.

Refunds will be awarded as follows:

100 per cent refund
Withdrawal submitted prior to the first day of class.

90 per cent refund
Withdrawal before the third class.

No refund
Withdrawal submitted after delivery of the third class.

To withdraw from a Continuing Education course or workshop, or for more information on withdrawal, contact your adult educator, local Campus Registrar, or:
