Important dates and deadlines

For a detailed list of Fall Term deadlines from dropping classes to paying tuition and to final exams and beyond, visit the Important dates and deadlines webpage.

Course adds and drops (revision period)

The registration revision period, commonly known as the 'add and drop' period, allows you to make course or timetable changes without academic or financial penalties. Dropped courses during this time will not appear on your transcripts, and tuition fees for these courses will be reversed.

  • Drop a course deadline: September 22, 2026
  • Add a course deadline: September 23, 2026

During the revision period, you can:

  • Add a class if a seat becomes available or if  you change your mind about a subject
  • Register for a course from your waitlist if space becomes available
  • Update your residency status in Aurora and receive a fee adjustment if applicable

After the revision period, you can still withdraw from a class, but it will be recorded on your transcript, and you will be responsible to pay for all fees for that course.

You can find resources for dropping a course, changing a course, cancelling your registration  on the UM website.
