Promotion

In order to be promoted to second year, students from Biomedical, Chemical, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Industrial Mechatronics and Mechanical Engineering must complete all semester one and two courses by the end of the Spring Transition term, with the exception of ECN 801 and their Liberal. While ECN 801 and Liberal courses don’t have to be done in first year, ECN 801 and all liberal requirements must be satisfied before graduation.

Students in Aerospace Engineering must complete all semester one and two courses, including ECN 801, by the end of the Spring Transition term, excluding their Liberal. 

Outstanding and or failed courses can be completed in the Transition Program. If you do not complete all first year courses by the end of the Transition Program, you will remain with our office as a First-Year in Two Years student. This means the Faculty will reserve a space for you in the first-year engineering courses you have yet to complete for the following academic year. This allows you to spread your first-year curriculum over four semesters instead of two, allowing more time to focus on individual subjects.

In the event that you would like special permission to be allowed to take second year courses while having first year courses outstanding, you will need to meet with an Academic Advisor to discuss your options.

If you meet all the requirements, you will get an email from our office in the spring informing you that you have been promoted to second year. Once you have been promoted to second year, you are required to contact your Program Director for any support or assistance that you require.
