The Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles has a whole team at your disposal to support you in your college journey, including the Progress and Registrar’s team. At the heart of this team are the Academic Advisors. The Academic Advisors are the people to consult for any question related to your academic career.
Do you want to extend or speed up your journey? Do you have special needs and need support? Are you facing challenges that could hinder your success? Contact your campus Academic Advisor (see contact information at the end of this page).
Plan your progress and your course choices
Make your course choice
Each session, you must confirm your course proposal through the “Course Selection” module on Omnivox. Your Academic Advisor can guide you in your choices and support you if you have difficulty proceeding.
Course withdrawal or course drop
There are various reasons why you may have to withdraw or drop one or more courses. These actions have different consequences on your journey, and these consequences may vary depending on when you decide to do so.
Before the drop deadline deadline
This course will be removed from your schedule and there will be no failure on your transcript. However, this deregistration may change your status from “full-time” to “part-time”. The part-time status has consequences on the fees you will be charged. If you are a beneficiary of the Quebec government student financial aid program, this change in status may also have an impact on your aid calculation.
The course will not appear on your report card.
After the drop deadline
This course will be removed from your schedule and the remark “AE” will appear on your transcript. To drop one or more courses, you need to communicate with your Academic Advisor.
After the withdrawal deadline
The grade that will appear on the report card will be the cumulative grade to date. If you fail, you will have to repeat the course. If this course is a prerequisite for a course in the following session, a failure could delay your progress by preventing you from registering for a course for which the failed course is a prerequisite. Also, the failed course will be put back on your schedule as long as it is offered by the Cégep and fits into your schedule.
To withdraw or drop a course or before deciding to no longer attend, contact your Academic Advisor, who will be able to look with you :
- the consequences of your choice on your status and your progress;
- the support you may not have explored
- the possibility of making an action plan to catch up on classes in which you missed more than five days;
- catch-up solutions;
- the communications that must be made to your teachers.
What is the withdrawal deadline?
This is a deadline set by the Minister to confirm your attendance at a course.
For regular sessions, these dates are set for mid-September and mid-February. Check the school calendar for the exact date.
For summer sessions, AECs, and intensive training, this date is set by the Cégep. It corresponds to the moment when 20 % of the total number of hours of the course has been completed.
What is the course drop deadline?
This is a deadline set by each Cégep according to ministerial standards to drop course without having a failure on your report card.
For regular sessions, these dates are set by the Cégep on the 49th day of classes in each session. Consult the School calendar to find out the exact date.
For summer sessions, AECs, and intensive training, this date is set by the Cégep. It corresponds to the moment when 60 % of the total number of hours of the course has been completed.
To understand the differences between the course withdrawal date or course drop date, consult the following ministerial document or contact your Academic Advisor.

- check if you are eligible for the failed course retake measure;
- let you know the procedure if you wish to make an educational complaint;
- help you succeed by talking to you about the tools and resources available and adapted to your needs;
- help you make an action plan in case you are absent from your classes for more than five days.
