Students could be asked to repeat a course
if a course mark is less than B- (70%) for MASc and M.Eng,
and B (73%) for PhD. Graduate students are allowed to repeat no more
than one course during their tenure in the program. Failure to maintain an
acceptable academic standing could result in a student being asked to
withdraw from the program. Failure in more than one graduate course shall be
considered grounds for dismissal. Degree Requirements Students can select to enter the Doctoral
program (PhD, Full-time), Master of Applied Science (MASc, Full-time) or the
Master of Engineering (MEng, Full-time/Part-time).
The PhD postgraduate program requires the successful completion of four one-term graduate
courses, pass a qualifying/candidacy examination (for more information please
refer to the PhD
Candidacy Examination Guide) and produce a thesis based on original
research. The thesis supervisor must approve both the course selections and
the thesis research proposal submitted in writing by the student. With
the approval of the supervisor, one of the four courses may be the directed
studies course (CV8100), normally conducted by the supervisor. The student's
supervisor, after consultation with the student, will recommend to the
Program Director the appointment of a Candidacy Examination Committee.

will undertake a candidacy examination. The core aspect of the program
