Waitlist

Waitlists are created when there are more eligible applicants than seats available in a program. Your position on the waitlist is outlined by your overall score. Depending on the program you are applying to this can be your academic history or a combination of your academics and additional selection criteria. Waitlists are fluid and your position can change relative to other applicant, or as new grades are received. Should space permit in a program, applicants will be contacted by the admissions office. As part of the applicant’s responsibilities, it is strongly advised, all contact information is up to date, and this includes emails and phone numbers.

Withdrawing from your Studies

Students who want to withdraw from the College must complete an online withdrawal within the first ten days of the program semester start to be eligible for a tuition refund less the applicable $250 holdback fee. Refunds will be issued back to the original payment method.

If you are an OSAP student, your tuition and fees refund may be returned to the National Student Loans Centre (NSLC), as per the OSAP terms and agreements. 

Withdrawal requests must be submitted online through your MyMohawk account. In order to submit a request to withdraw, log into your MyMohawk account under the Registration tab select Request to withdraw. Once selected, fill in the required details and information to submit your request. 

Students who withdraw after the 10th day of class for their program are responsible for full fees for the semester. Lack of attendance, lack of awareness of deadlines or OSAP denial does not constitute a formal withdrawal or reason for a refund.

Review the Terms and Definitions for more information regarding holdback fees. The College is not responsible for withdrawal requests that do not reach the College.
