General Degree Requirements
General Degree Requirements for the BASc and BASc in Engineering Science
To qualify for a degree, a student must complete a full undergraduate program as shown in the Academic Calendar within nine calendar years of first registration, exclusive of mandatory absences from their program.
A full undergraduate program consists of eight Fall and Winter terms taken in order.
To gain credit for a session a student must:
- Satisfy the academic regulations to proceed to the succeeding session as described in the Academic Calendar, and
- Not be subsequently required to repeat the session for which credit is to be gained, and
- Achieve a course mark of 50% or greater in every course taken as part of the academic load in a session (see the VIII. Promotion Regulations), and
- Not have the designation of "standing deferred" or "incomplete" outstanding for any course in the session (see VI. Degree Requirements)
Final Session
To be eligible to graduate, a student must attain a weighted Session Average of 60% or greater in their final session. Any student who does not achieve a weighted Session Average of 60% in their final session (4W), but has attained a weighted Session Average that allows them to proceed to the next session on probation, shall repeat the final session and achieve a weighted Session Average of 60% or greater to graduate.
An academic standing of Proceeding on Probation, or On Repeat Probation will be removed and changed to Pass (or Honours if applicable) at the conclusion of the final session during which all requirements for graduation are satisfied (see VI. Degree Requirements).
Practical Experience Requirements (PER)
It is a Faculty regulation that students must complete a minimum of 600 hours of practical work before graduation: PER Form (PDF)*.
*Engineering Science no longer accepts PDF PER forms; please use Engineering Science's online PER form, which is located in the EngSci Info Hub.
March Degree Conferral (In Absentia)
If you have finished all your degree requirements by January, you may obtain your degree in absentia in March. Please contact your Academic Advisor for more information.
