Hi,I’m in my fourth year of an anthropology and history major with a minor in english. it is now the last few days of school and under some mad stress and learned about the option to apply for late withdrawal from courses. I have two classes that due to some crazy personal stresses + increased work load have not been able to put enough effort in and now that finals are here, I’ve realized my chances of passing these courses are slim to none. I can make up the credits lost in summer school, so i am not worried about that, but it seems from the u of t website that applying for late withdrawal is a lengthy/complicated/not-guaranteed process. Is this the case? I am worried now that i will not be able to drop these courses and have to face the damage of two failed classes on my record.Help!

Hi 4th year anthro dude/dudette,
Well, my stint in rehab may have made this post a little useless for your purposes. Who knows … maybe this will happen to you again this semester.
You have until the last day of classes to Late Withdrawal from a course. In order to do this, you will have to make an appointment with an academic counsellor. They will go over your situation and determine if you actually need to late withdraw from a course.
Shockingly you actually have to be likely to fail the course in order to be taken out of it.
Side Bar Ted:
Reasons that do not count for late withdraw
1) Having an A and wanting an A+
2) Having a B and wanting an A+
3) ?Having a C and wanting an A+
4) You have a B but really just don’t want to write the exam
5) Wanting to go dancing the night before your exam.
Hope to this helps anyone … absolutely anyone.
forever precious,
aska
