The information below is to help guide new MEng students with their registration. Though the department will always strive to keep this information updated, students should always verify their own program requirements through the graduate calendar. As stated in the Graduate Calendar: “All interested students should consult their program graduate supervisor/associate chair (graduate affairs), prior to registration, in order to obtain further information on particular departmental conditions of eligibility and procedures”.
Students are also encouraged to review their Academic Audit. The audit provides you with a snapshot of your progress. Learn how to read your audit: How to Read Your Audit. Please refer to our course planning guide to learn more about taking non-departmental courses, courses marked “extra to degree” and more.
