Short-Term Withdrawals
Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) undergraduate students may wish to temporarily withdraw from their program of studies for either the current academic term or for future academic terms 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 dates are confirmed on the Drop a Course page.
Undergraduate students who do not have any completed courses for six (6) or more consecutive terms will be discontinued from their program of study. For example, six terms counted as fall 2022, winter 2023, spring/summer 2023, fall 2023, winter 2024 and spring/summer 2024. These students will no longer be active in their program. Students who have been discontinued from their program must apply for readmission through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions. Readmission is not guaranteed.
If you do not enrol in and/or complete courses for a period of time, you will lose access to enrol in classes and you will eventually be discontinued from your program. Please refer to the Non-Enrolment and Program Discontinuation tab below for details.
