My Required to Withdraw appeal was denied — what is next?

  • 1st RTW: you cannot attend for the following 2 semesters
  • 2nd RTW: you cannot attend for 4 semesters
  • 3rd RTW: readmission will only be considered after 3 years

While you are not able to attend university-level classes, you may be able to enroll in preparatory-level courses.

You may be able to take courses at another institution while required to withdraw from UFV. These courses will be considered for transfer credit upon readmission but will not affect your UFV Cumulative Grade point Average (CGPA).

Readmission after being withdrawn

After you have been withdrawn for 2 or more semesters, you must apply for admission. 

You must meet the criteria for admission for the program that you apply to. It is not guaranteed that you will return to the same program. When you are readmitted, you will return on academic probation, as per UFV's Undergraduate Continuance - Policy (92)

Consult with an Academic Advisor about readmission

Academic advisors can help you understand the readmission process & requirements, and help you create a plan to support your future academic success.
