As a GTA, do I have to pay for a course if I withdraw from a course right now(>5 weeks into program). I registered late for the course and I realize that professor K teaching Quantum Mechanics 2 is not that good a teacher, and a really tough grader.

It varies. You'll have to ask your university.
 
Ask your university registrar. Or hunker down and study.
