Required to Withdraw
You will be Required to Withdraw from Mount Royal if:
- you were placed on Academic Probation for one semester,
- your cumulative GPA* remained below 2.00, and
- you did not demonstrate Significant Improvement in your last semester of study.
*Grade Point Average from all credit courses completed at MRU
You must complete the Requirement to Withdraw Appeal form before January 9, 2025, providing supporting documentation (such as a medical note, a letter from a counselor, or a legal document) along with a detailed explanation. This explanation must thoroughly outline why your grades have declined over your academic career, the circumstances leading to this situation, and the proactive measures you plan to take to improve in the future.
Documentation must establish a clear and substantive link to your academic standing over the period of time the credits were earned. If your appeal is successful, you will remain registered in your Winter 2025 courses.
If you are unable to provide the supporting documentation by January 9, you must still submit the appeal form by this deadline to indicate your intention to appeal in order to remain registered in your Winter 2025 courses. You must submit your supporting documentation using the Documentation Submission form no later than January 16, 2025. The Documentation Submission form is only for students unable to include documentation with their initial appeal form.
You are encouraged to meet with your academic advisor to discuss the appeal process.
The outcome of the appeal will be determined by the Academic Standing Appeals Committee based on the information you provide. Under no circumstances will an appeal be accepted after the deadline.
If your appeal is successful, you will remain registered in your Winter 2025 courses.
If you do not submit an appeal you will be dropped from your classes on January 10, 2025.
If your appeal is denied, you will be dropped from all courses after the appeal committee has rendered their decision.
After your required 12-month absence from Mount Royal credit courses, you will need to apply for re-admission in accordance with the application deadlines for new students.
Meet with your academic advisor to discuss your plans for re-admission, which may include completing upgrading courses. It's important that you understand how taking credit courses at another institution during your 12-month absence could affect your re-admission plans at MRU.
