Students who receive an initial dismissal from a program must apply for re-admission through the Student Information System.

Students who have received a Dismissal Notice from St. Clair College should review the communication sent from the Registrar’s Office. The Dismissal Letter includes instructions for next steps should a student wish to be considered for re- admission based on college policies and procedures.

Students who are re-admitted in accordance with above, will be placed on probation and must achieve a semester Grade Point Average of 2.00 by the next evaluation period. If a student fails to meet such requirements, the student will be dismissed (2nd dismissal) and will not be eligible for re-admission into that program without approval from the Program Chair. If denied, the student will not be eligible for a return to that program under any conditions for a period of two years from the start of the semester from which the student was dismissed. Students whose requests are denied by the Program Chair will be allowed the opportunity to choose a new program of study.

A student who has been dismissed three times from any post-secondary program at St. Clair College will not be eligible to enroll in another full time St. Clair College post-secondary program for a period of two years from the start of the semester from which the student was dismissed.

For students whose dismissal pre-dates this policy, implementation of their re-admission will be at the discretion of the Chair.

If you take a course which is not listed on your registration, you will not receive credit for the work you have done in that course.

Should you decide to withdraw from the College, it is your responsibility to complete an official College Withdrawal Form and submit it online to the Registrar’s Office on, or before, the deadline date * Non-attendance does not mean “withdrawal”. (* Deadline dates are posted on the Registrar’s Office website).

If you fail to complete an official College Withdrawal Form and submit it to the Registrar’s Office, you will be liable to the College for any and all outstanding fees for which you have been assessed and have not paid for the semester in which the withdrawal occurs (see Receiving a Refund). An encumbrance may be placed against your record should you fail to follow the official withdrawal procedures.

Students who are not granted Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) funds or who have a fee deferral deposit on file with the College, should take special note of the paragraph above. Please be sure to complete the College Withdrawal Form online regardless of when you find it necessary to leave during the semester. Requesting to be withdrawn by telephone contact, does not make the withdrawal official. Only completing the online Withdrawal form and receiving a confirmation from the Registrar’s Office (info@stclaircollege.ca) makes the withdrawal official.
