We understand the distress that comes with a death in the family. Please note that you can speak to a counsellor through our Counselling and Student Well-Being office for personal support. 

If you feel you need time to pause or alter your studies, you may be eligible to defer your courses due to extenuating circumstances, with approval from the Dean of your program. Please contact your Academic department for assistance.

If you wish to withdraw from the program, please contact your Academic department for guidance and review our withdrawal policies below.

For more information on withdrawing from your course or program due to extenuating circumstances, please contact the Office of the Registrar at registration@georgebrown.ca for assistance.

For more information on submitting an academic appeal, see the Academic Appeals Policy.
