Rules & Guidelines

The academic handbook and Syndicate decisions governing the B.Sc. and M.Sc. Engineering programs. Each document opens in a new tab or downloads as a PDF.

Where a Syndicate decision or a dated update conflicts with the 2023 handbook, the later document applies. For a ruling on a specific case, contact the department office.

M.Sc. students: the rules governing your degree depend on when you were admitted. Those admitted from Fall 2026 follow the department rules approved in January 2026; those admitted from session 2018-19 to Spring 2026 follow the faculty M.Sc. in Engineering rules of 2018. Both documents, and the course list that goes with each, are on the Curriculum page.

    No Maximum Credit Limit for Improvement Examinations (2026)

    Letter from the Office of the Dean to the Controller of Examinations confirming that the Faculty of Engineering and Technology sets no maximum credit limit on improvement examinations, from first year through fourth year and including courses with an F grade. Credit limits applied by other faculties therefore do not apply to students of this faculty, and form fill-up should proceed without one. A committee has been formed to write this into the faculty rules.
