Financial Sanction

Students with an outstanding balance on their account after the payment deadline will be placed on financial/academic sanction. Financial/academic sanction will prevent one or more of the following:

  • release of final grades
  • release of transcripts
  • granting of a degree or diploma
  • registration changes for current and subsequent semesters

If you would like to drop a course while you are on financial sanction, please contact Enrolment Services (es@uoguelph.ca) and provide the course code/name of the course(s) you would like to be dropped. Please note: depending on the date you drop the course, you may not be eligible for a refund. Students will not be allowed to add courses while on financial sanction.

For the sanction to be lifted, the student must pay the remaining balance on their account.
