Additional Program Information

Completion requirement

Advanced Credit

The applicant must make advanced credit requests as part of the admission process, in consultation with the proposed supervisor and the Graduate Director. Credit will not be given for course work taken as part of another completed degree/diploma or for courses taken to bring the grade point average to a required level for admission. Students who receive advanced course credit when admitted to a master’s program may be able to accelerate the completion of their degree.

Flexible Grade Option (CG Grade)

Students admitted to the Schulich School of Engineering will not be allowed to request the Flexible Grade Option (CG Grade) for any course that is applicable to their degree; or apply any course awarded a grade of CG towards their graduation requirements.

Students may choose the CG grade for a course taken extra to load.

The use of the CG grade will affect students' eligibility for internal awards.

Credit for Undergraduate Courses

See Program/Course Requirements.

Time Limit

Typical completion times are one to two years for full-time students in a master’s program. Maximum completion time is six years for a Master of Engineering (course-based) program. The Master of Engineering, course-based with Internship is normally a three-year program.

Supervisory Assignments

The Master of Engineering (course-based) does not require a supervisor.
