The School of Continuing Studies publishes withdrawal and transfer conditions and deadlines to ensure that learners understand and are aware of these policies. To ensure equity and fairness, all learners are subject to these policies.
SCS recognizes that learners may face unforeseen and serious life-challenging situations, most often outside of their control, that may affect their educational pursuits. This petition form is intended for individuals who are or have experienced extenuating circumstances following the specified course withdrawal/transfer deadline.
Learners are advised to read the descriptions of courses, and course outline, carefully at the start of each course to determine if they meet their learning needs and goals. A lack of understanding of these areas does not fall into the categories of extenuating circumstances.
If you are uncertain of your course deadline, please contact our office at learn@utoronto.ca before completing this application form.
