Roadmap to MEng Non-Thesis Degree

1. Take mandatory web-based tutorial on academic integrity.
2. Register on Minerva for REGN RCGR - CRN#179 in Fall term and CRN#190 in Winter term. This is essential to maintain your academic dossier active on Minerva, even if no courses are taken. You must register for these courses every academic year you are enrolled in the program – be aware of firm August summer deadline to avoid having to pay late registration fees.
3. Meet with project supervisor as soon as possible to agree on general plan and coursework. A minimum of 8 credits is required at the 600-level (in the department or outside; subject to approval by supervisor and Graduate Program Director). See program requirements.
