There has been a three-week introductory period for qualifying new undergraduate students, allowing them to withdraw without owing tuition. Eligibility conditions apply and graduate students are generally outside it. Confirm your own position with an advisor rather than assuming, since the detail of who qualifies has been revised more than once.

By formal evaluation of your transcripts, and prior professional training or certification is sometimes considered alongside them. Request it before enrolling rather than after, because the result changes your total cost and the answer sometimes removes courses you would otherwise have already begun paying for.

Two separate things, and students only notice one of them. Academically you lose the graded items for that week. Administratively, a period without recorded activity can flag your enrolment status and affect financial aid, independently of your grade. Contact your instructor during the week rather than explaining afterwards.

It is permitted and it changes the shape of the term rather than just the volume. In a compressed format the quiet stretch you were relying on in one course is where the other course's major assessment lands. Map both calendars on one page before enrolling and look for the fortnight where they collide.

There is a defined process with deadlines attached, and it begins with the faculty member rather than above them. Appeals that skip that first step tend to be returned to it. Read the procedure before writing anything, because the window is usually short and an appeal filed late is not considered on its merits.
