If you have withdrawn from a program and would now like to return, you will need to apply for readmission.
Readmission into the first semester of a program
If you withdrew from your program before completing your first semester, you must re-apply to the program through ontariocolleges.ca . You will be following the exact same process you used when you first applied to Sheridan. (Please note: If applying for a program starting in September, it is recommended that you apply prior to the equal consideration date – Feb. 1st)
Readmission beyond the first semester
If you completed the first semester of your program before withdrawing then you can re-apply directly to Sheridan. If you are interested in readmission, please visit the Student Advisement Centre (Trafalgar Campus – room B104, Davis Campus – Portable C, HMC - Welcome Desk) where one of our Student Advisors will go through the process with you.
It is very important that you continue to check your Sheridan e-mail even when you are not in classes. The College will use your Sheridan e-mail account to communicate important messages to you. For example, you will receive e-mails about your Fee Invoice for the upcoming semester, about accessing your timetable via AccessSheridan, as well as selecting a General Education Elective. If you have forgotten your user name and password please remember to visit the ITSC (Trafalgar Campus – room C131, Davis Campus – room B195, HMC - room A202) or call the Contact Centre.
