In some situations, a professor may instruct a student to request a College Registrar's Letter from UC's Academic Advising & Registrar’s Office when academic consideration is required for missed work or a missed test.

You will need to complete the College Registrar's Letter Request Form and submit it to the Academic Advising & Registrar's Office along with appropriate supporting documentation. The request will be reviewed and considered by the Registrar. 

A course may be declared credit/no credit (CR/NCR), allowing it to count towards your degree credits, without impacting your GPA. Instead of earning a numerical grade, a CR or NCR notation will appear in its place on your transcript.

Visit the Faculty of Arts & Science website for more information on CR/NCR.

If you missed the last day to request graduation on ACORN or need to cancel your graduation request, please complete and return the Degree Request/Cancellation Form to uc.registrar@utoronto.ca.

The deadline to request Late Withdrawal (LWD) from 2024 Summer S and Y-courses passed on August 13, 2024. 

Once submitted by the deadline, an Academic Advisor will review and process your request. They will reach out to you via UTMail+ once completed, or if they have any questions, concerns or are unable to process your request. Please allow 5-7 business days for processing.

If you are enrolled full-time and have received OSAP funding in the past, but are not receiving it for the current academic year, you should submit a Continuation of Interest-Free Status Application through the OSAP website.

This form will verify that you are still engaged in full-time studies and will prevent your previous loans from incurring interest and you will not be required to pay back OSAP during this time.

Information about submitting a petition for special consideration (deferred exams, term work extension, or withdrawal without academic penalty) can be found on the Arts & Science Petitions & Appeals website. 

To submit a petition, please log on to the Arts & Science Petitions System and submit your request to our office for review. In preparation for submission, please be sure to prepare the following:

• A letter outlining the situation in detail and reason for your request(s); see sample letters for Deferred Exam, Term Work Extension (after a term has ended), and Withdrawal Without Academic Penalty ).

• Documentation to support your request; this may include a Verification of Illness or Injury form (VOI), the Non-Medical Documentation Form, and/or a letter of support from your Accessibility Advisor;

• A copy of your course syllabi (if requesting a term work extension.)

Review a helpful Tip Sheet for submitting your petition via the Arts & Science Petitions System.

After making your request on the Petitions System, please monitor your U of T email account regularly for updates or contact from our advising team.

Visit the Arts & Science website for more information about preparing and submitting petitions for special consideration.
