It is the policy of this College that all students will
register for full-time programs at the beginning of each
semester including the Intersession. Students accessing “continuous intake” programs will be admitted and
will engage in the initial registration process at any
time during a semester but will be required to register
with all other students at the beginning of each subsequent
semester.
Date of Registration
Students will register in person on the date and at
the time and place prescribed and publicized by the
College. Registration for continuous intake programs
will be scheduled on a continuous basis, and students
will be admitted as vacancies occur.
Late Registration
With permission, late registration may sometimes be
acceptable, up to two weeks after the official registration
day.
Students will not be admitted to a class until they have
satisfied the regulations regarding entrance and complied
with the General College Regulations.
The number of courses constituting a normal semester
workload for a student is specified in the outline for
each program as published in the College Calendar.
Extended Course Loads
Students who wish to register for extra courses must
make application to the program administrator or designate.
With the permission of the program administrator or
designate, students may repeat any course for which
a passing grade has previously been awarded. * The
original passing grade will remain on the transcript and
a second entry will be recorded with the new grade.
The highest mark attained will be used in the calculation
of the G.P.A.
* Space limitations and other considerations will determine
approval.
When required courses are not available in a particular
semester, full-time students may make application
to the program administrator to register for such
courses through independent study. Applications must
be processed within two weeks from the commencement
of the term.
Access to courses through Independent Study may
be permitted when resources are available and with
the permission of the program administrator and the
coordinator (where applicable) in consultation with
the faculty. Strategies to ensure adherence to course
requirements may be documented in contract format
to be signed by the student, the course instructor, the
program administrator and the program coordinator
(where applicable).
The last date for adding courses is two weeks from
the commencement of the semester (one week from
the commencement of the intersession/summer session)
in which that course begins. In extenuating
circumstances, in the normal semester the two-week
period may be extended. Students must complete the
appropriate registration change form. Changes must be
approved by the program administrator or designate.
Withdrawing
Courses may be dropped without academic prejudice
up to the end of the eighth week from the scheduled
date of registration for a semester (or the end of the
second week in the intersession/summer session).
Courses dropped after this date are recorded as “Dropped/Fail” and will have a zero mark entered
on the academic record for the course or courses
dropped unless, in extenuating circumstances, the
student has received the written permission of the
program administrator to drop a course without penalty.
Students are required to complete the appropriate
registration change form which must be approved by
the instructors concerned and by the program administrator
or designate.
Registered students who wish to withdraw from the
College will be invited to discuss the situation with the
appropriate Student Services official. The withdrawal
form must be completed and signed by the appropriate
faculty and the program administrator.
Transfer Process for Engineering Technology
(First Year)
If a student wishes to change his/her original program
choice, he/she MUST request a program transfer and
complete the appropriate form (Request to Transfer
Form) which is available through the Registrar's Office.
Applicants cannot request a change in program prior
to entry into the first year. A request to transfer does
not guarantee entry into one’s alternate, “new” program
choice. Program transfer will be granted only if
sufficient space is available. The following conditions
apply:
The Request to Transfer Form must be received at the Registrar's Office by February 15.
Transfers are granted based on a) space availability
and b) first semester Grade Point Average (or weighted average in the case of indentical GPAs).
Students who opt to attend first year Engineering
Technology without identifying a program choice for
their second year, MUST BE AWARE that there will
be no seats reserved for them in second year. These
students will compete academically with all other students
requesting program transfers under the transfer
policy.
Students wishing to change their program of studies
must apply for Lateral Transfer.
From One Program to Another at the Same Campus
Applications for Lateral Transfer are available from the Registrar’s Office. Students must discuss their request with the Counsellor and the program administrator and receive written approval.
Lateral transfer may be granted if there is space available and the appropriate counselling processes have been followed.
From One Campus to Another in the Same or Different
Program
Students must discuss their request with the Counsellor and the program administrator and receive written approval.
Applications for Lateral Transfer are available from the Registrar’s Office.
As certain programs are offered using different instructional methodology at the various campuses, transfer may be limited to the end of given semesters.
The campus Registrar’s agent will contact the program administrator at the receiving campus to determine space availability and appropriate transfer time frame.
