Students who, for whatever reason, desire to withdraw their enrolment in any unit must complete a ‘Change of Enrolment Form’ available from the MCD website, and inform the lecturer(s) in the unit(s) concerned. The same form is used to withdraw from a course altogether. Please note that withdrawal from a course means that a student must make a new application for admission should they wish to enrol in units in the future, and that recognition of prior learning is not automatic.
If a student withdraws from a class before the Census dates for each semester, no record of enrolment for the unit will be recorded on the transcript. Please note that no refund of fees can be made after the census date for each semester.
Approved withdrawals up to four weeks before the end of the teaching semester will be recorded as a WD on the student’s academic record. Withdrawals in the last four weeks of the teaching semester will normally be recorded as a Fail.
Students who do not notify the UFT office of their intention to withdraw, and who do not complete the requirements for the unit will be regarded as having failed, and a Fail will be entered on their transcript.
Students who are not studying for a semester or longer should apply for leave of absence using the 'Change of Enrolment' form. This extends the time the student has to complete the degree. Please note, however, that the MCD regulates the maximum amount of leave of absence to which a student is entitled for different degrees.
