Financial withdrawal deadline
September 30th is the deadline to drop a class for this term and still be eligible for a refund of fees (i.e. the financial withdrawal deadline). It is still possible to drop a class after this deadline, but the fall term fees would not longer be refundable.
The final withdrawal deadline for fall term classes (i.e. academic withdrawal deadline) is November 15th.
Withdrawals affect a few things:
- Your admissions requirements for a degree
- OSAP entitlements (i.e. student loans)
- Your eligibility for a UPASS
To withdraw from a class you need to email an ESP advisor by September 30th: esp.advising@carleton.ca.

Opt-in to the Health plan deadline: October 3rd
If you are not covered by another health or dental plan, you may want to opt-in to the student health plan that provides some dental and/or prescription coverage (and more).
- As students who are not charged full-time fees, you were not automatically enrolled in the plan.
- Visit this site for more information and to opt-in (choose “Enrol yourself now” from the left menu).
- The plan costs $179.88 single coverage for dental and health (but you don’t have to opt-in to both).
- You can opt-in as an individual, or if you have a spouse and/or kids, you can opt-in to the family plan.
- The October 3rd deadline isn’t flexible.
Opt-in now → |
Financial supports
Look into these financial supports if you’re low on funds:
- Apply for a bursary. Bursaries are awards made based on financial need rather than grades or other criteria. Unlike loans, you don’t have to pay them back. If you can demonstrate financial need, you may be eligible for an award (often between $500-$1500).
- Order a food hamper through the student food centre run by CUSA: cusaonline.ca/usc/
- Make an advising appointment – we have a small number of bookstore or grocery gift cards

Register with PMC
If you have an physical, learning, attention, or mental health related disability, register with the Paul Menton Centre to receive accommodations and support. Need a note taker? Coping with anxiety? Have a test coming up and you’d do a better job with more time? Or a quiet space? PMC can help. To make sure you’re set up, submit requests for accommodation to PMC three weeks before the first in-class scheduled test, midterm, or exam.
