You can make course changes during the course change period. This will enable you to add, swap or drop courses. After the course change period, you can withdraw from courses until the last day of classes. This will result in a "W" notation on your transcript. In most cases, you can withdraw from a course through myUCalgary; however, some faculties will require you to submit your request for approval.

For detailed information on course withdrawal, see the University Calendar.
