Projects will be chosen either from a list supplied by the Department or from suggestions by the students themselves and at that point, the Chair of the M.Sc.(A) Projects will assign a Supervisor. Please note that in most instances no supervisor will be assigned during the Fall and Winter terms. A presentation will be given by the Chair in mid-Winter with details on the project.  The deadlines to submit a project for evaluation (approved by the Supervisor) are July 15th for Fall graduation*, November 1st for Winter graduation and March 1st for Spring graduation. It may be necessary to register for an additional term (Non-Thesis Extension term) if the final project is not approved by the Supervisor after evaluation.

*The majority of students submit their project for Winter graduation as it is difficult to find evaluators to review the project during the Summer.
