Transition Program
The transition program was created to provide students who may need more time to adapt to the demanding university curriculum with an immediate opportunity to upgrade their academic standings and to complete missing and/or failed courses.
If you complete transition program courses, you will have your academic standings re-evaluated upon completion of the program at the end of the term.
First-year students who have questions about the Transition Program should contact the First-Year Engineering Office. Upper-year students should reach out to their specific department.
Two Phases: Spring and Summer
The transition program has two phases: the spring term (phase one) and the summer term (phase two). Phase one offers required courses from first semester, in parallel to the second-semester program courses.
If you have failed and/or are missing required courses at the end of the winter term, you can pick them up in the spring term (phase one). Second-semester courses can be shifted to the summer term (phase two). However, due to the condensed nature of the summer transition program, you are limited to up to two or three courses, depending on your academic standing.
The spring transition program (phase one) runs each year from the second week of May until the end of June, with exams finishing in the first week of July. The summer transition term runs on an as-needed basis from the first week of July until late August, with exams finishing at the end of August.
Note: Every effort is made to adhere to the details outlined in this Transition Program information package. However, courses, days, hours of instruction and instructors are subject to change without prior notice. If it is necessary to cancel a course for reasons such as insufficient enrolment, every effort will be made to contact enrolled students.
Priority Students
As space is limited in transition program courses, students who are missing courses or who are required to register in the transition program as part of their probationary contracts will be given priority consideration. Students who wish to upgrade their marks may register in transition program courses subject to availability of space.
